Fast Blank Edge Shaping
FB_EDGE_SHAPE [2:0], Address 0xEF [2:0]
To improve the picture transition for high speed fast blank
switching, an edge-shaping mode is available on the ADV7188.
Depending on the format of the RGB inputs, it may be advan-
tageous to apply different levels of edge shaping. The levels are
selected via the FB_EDGE_SHAPE [2:0] bits. Users are advised
to try each of the settings and select the setting that is most
visually pleasing on their system.
Table 13. FB_EDGE_SHAPE [2:0] Function
FB_EDGE_SHAPE [2:0] Description
000 No edge shaping
001 Level 1 edge shaping
010 (default) Level 2 edge shaping
011 Level 3 edge shaping
100 Level 4 edge shaping
101 to 111 Not valid
Contrast Reduction
For overlay applications, text can be more readable if the
contrast of the video directly behind the text is reduced. To
enable the definition of a window of reduced contrast behind
inserted text, the signal applied to the FB pin can be interpreted
as a trilevel signal, as shown in
Figure 10.

Contrast Reduction Enable
CNTR_ENABLE, Address 0xEF [3]
This bit enables the contrast reduction feature and changes the
meaning of the signal applied to the FB pin.
0 (default)—The contrast reduction feature is disabled, and the
fast blank signal is interpreted as a bilevel signal.
1—The contrast reduction feature is enabled, and the fast blank
signal is interpreted as a trilevel signal.
Contrast Mode
CNTR_MODE [1:0], Address 0xF1 [3:2]
The contrast level in the selected contrast reduction box is
selected using the CNTR_MODE [1:0] bits.
