2.2.3 Luminance Processing
The digitized composite video signal passes through either a luminance comb filter or a chroma trap filter,
either of which removes chrominance information from the composite signal to generate a luminance signal.
The luminance signal is then fed into the input of a peaking circuit. Figure 2−8 illustrates the basic functions
of the luminance data path. In the case of S-video, the luminance signal bypasses the comb filter or chroma
trap filter and is fed directly to the circuit. A peaking filter (edge enhancer) amplifies high-frequency
components of the luminance signal. Figure 2−9 shows the characteristics of the peaking filter at four different
gain settings that are user-programmable via the I

C interface.

2.2.4 Color Transient Improvement
Color transient improvement (CTI) enhances horizontal color transients. The color difference signal transition
points are maintained, but the edges are enhanced for signals which have bandwidth-limited color
components.
