4-1. Digital Video Signal Processing Block
4-1-1. Outline
The main functions of the digital signal processing block on the VPR-74 board are as follows:
1. Converts a video input signal from analog to digital and stores it in memory (DRAM). (Capture)
2. Color-adjusts the image data stored in memory using a color adjustment circuit, and then converts the
data from digital to analog and outputs it to the analog signal processing block on the VPR-74 board
as a monitor output signal. (Monitor output)
3. Color-adjusts the image data stored in memory using a color adjustment circuit and then outputs it to
the head control block through a masking block as print data. (Print data output)
4. Converts a video input signal from analog to digital, converts the signal from digital to analog as it is,
and outputs it to the analog signal processing block as a monitor output signal. (Source output)
The digital signal processing block on the VPR-74 board consists of the following blocks.
. CPU block
. Memory (DRAM) block
. Memory control (ASIC) block
. Sampling clock generation block
. Color adjustment block
. Masking block

4-1-2. Flow of Image Signal in Each Operating Mode

The operating mode on the flow of an image signal in a digital signal processing block can be classified
into the following four modes.
. Source mode
. Memory mode
. Capture mode
. Print data transfer mode
Source mode
In this mode, a video input signal is directly output to the monitor via a digital signal processing block.
The flow of an image signal is as described below.
The RGB analog signal input from an analog signal processing block is converted from analog to digital
as an eight-bit digital signal, respectively. This signal is passed through a DRAM control circuit
(IC1001) and adjusted in color using a color adjustment circuit (IC701). After that, the image size is
adjusted by the blanking produced using a CPU and DRAM control circuit. The resultant signal is
converted from digital to analog again as an analog signal and output to the analog signal processing
block.
4-2
UP-20/21MD V1
Memory mode
In this mode, the image data fetched into DRAM is output to the monitor.
The digital image data fetched into DRAM is read using a DRAM control circuit (CXD9111R: IC1001)
and converted from 32 bits to 8 bits. After that, the image data is adjusted in color using a color
adjustment circuit (IC701), and the image size is adjusted by the blanking produced using a DRAM
control circuit. The resultant data is converted from digital to analog and output to the analog signal
processing block.
UP-20/21MD V1
4-3
Capture mode
In this mode, a video input signal is converted from analog to digital and fetched into DRAM.
The video signal input from an analog signal processing block is converted from analog to digital as an
eight-bit digital signal. The converted video signal is converted from 8 bits to 32 bits in a DRAM control
circuit (CXD9111R: IC1001), and expanded in DRAM.
4-4
UP-20/21MD V1
Print data transfer mode

In this mode, the image data that exists in DRAM is output to the SY-299 board as print data during
printing.
The data request signal from the SY-299 board is input to CPU (IC501).
The CPU controls a DRAM control circuit (CXD9111R: IC1001), and the DRAM control circuit converts
the image data in DRAM into print data and outputs it. After that, the data is color-adjusted, colorrotated, and converted from RGB to YMC using a color adjustment circuit (IC901). Next, the data is
masking-converted using two masking ROMs and output to the SY-299 board as print data.

4-1-3. Basic Operation Timing and CPU Block

The operation of the digital signal processing block on the VPR-74 board is controlled and managed
according to the command from the SY board by CPU.
CPU operates with the VD signal (SWD_VD) switched into EXT or INT as reference and performs each
setting and control for a DRAM control circuit (CXD911R).
The main functions of a CPU block for digital signal processing are as follows:
. Reception and execution of command from SY board
. VF judgment (synchronous management) of video input signal
. Output of blanking signal
. Control of DRAM control circuit
. Write of color adjustment data
. Write of caption data

UP-20/21MD V1
Synchronous control
The external sync signals (EXT_VD and AFC_HD) and internal sync signals (OVD and OHD (IC406
CXD1217QN)) produced in an analog signal processing block are switched using an SRC/nMEM signal
from CPU (IC501) and sent to the CPU and DRAM control circuit as a V sync signal (SWD_VD) and H
sync signal (SWD_HD). The AFC_HD signal is AFC-processed in the analog signal processing block. If
the AFC processing should be interrupted, the operation of a digital signal processing block is not
guaranteed. The CPU to which the SWD_HD and SWD_VD sync signals were input compares each
phase for VF judgment (frame judgment). This VF judgment performs processing so that the context is
not lost even if a jitter slightly exists in the sync signals. Therefore, odd and even fields are not misplaced
for capturing. The SWD_VD sync signal is also AFC-processed by the software in CPU. Even if noise is
mixed in the SWD_VD sync signal, therefore, the noise component is canceled. A virtual VD signal is
generated by CPU even if the SWD-VD signal is interrupted and even if the period is changed
(CPU_VD). The CPU_VD signal is input to the DRAM control circuit.
Output of blanking signal
The V blanking signal that determines the position of the effective screen in the vertical direction counts
the falling of an SWD_HD signal after an SWD_VD signal is input to CPU, and it is output as a
CPUVBLNKV signal. For the H blanking signal that determines the position of the effective screen in
the horizontal direction, a BLNK signal is output as the blanking signal for input image data capture and
memory image data monitor output operations by the setting value set to the control register of a DRAM
control circuit and the input of a CPUVBLNKV signal.

4-1-4. Memory (DRAM) Block

The memory of a four-frame uses 64M-bit SDRAM x 1.
The memory space is constituted by 600 (RAS) x 256 (CAS) x 32 bits for each color of one frame image
memory. However, the memory space is apparently considered as 600 (RAS) x 1024 (CAS) x 8 bits
during use by storing eight-bit image data proportionally to four-dot pixels (four-dot pixels in one
address) in the direction of depth. The conversion of eight bits to 32 bits and vice versa is performed
using a DRAM control circuit.

On the video side, the color of image data is adjusted using an SRAM conversion table in IC701
(CXD8869Q). On the print side, it is adjusted using a conversion table in IC901 (CXD8869Q). The table
data is provided in the program ROM of CPU. On the video side, the table data is rewritten during V
blanking period. On the print side, it is rewritten immediately before printing.
On the print side, the color rotation and RGB-YMC conversion of print data are also performed as well as

The masking block corrects the difference between the ideal reproduction color and the three primary
colors (Y, M, and C) of printed materials using a two-ROM data conversion system of main masking
ROM and sub-masking ROM.
The MAIN, SUB1, SUB2 and print color information signals output from a color adjustment circuit (on
the print side) are input to the main and sub-masking ROMs. The data that was masking-corrected using
a two-ROM conversion table is latched by IC905 and IC906 and output to the SY-299 board as eight-bit
print data.
4-1-9. A/D and D/A Conversion Blocks

The A/D conversion block consists of three A/D converters (CXD1176Q IC350 to IC352). The analog
RGB signal input from an analog signal processing block is clamped using a clamp pulse (nCLAMP
signal) and adjusted in gain using a CLP_REF signal that is input to the VREF pin of an A/D converter.
In the D/A conversion block, an eight-bit digital RGB signal is converted into an analog video signal
using an encoder (BH7243KV IC407) incorporating a three-channel D/A converter.

signal into memory) and video encoder block (that monitors the digital video signal from memory).
I2CBUS is almost used for the setting and adjustment of an analog video block. The analog video
block is controlled by the SY-299 board.
The main functions of the analog video signal processing block are as follows:
. Selection of input signals (composite video, S video, and RGB signals)
. Conversion of composite video and S video signals into RGB signal (Decoding of video signal)
. AGC (Automatic Gain Control) for input signal
. User adjustments (HUE, COLOR, GAIN, OFFSET, MONITOR-RGB, etc.)
. OSD (On Screen Display) function
. Selection of monitor output signal (SOURCE/MEMORY)
. Sync signal processing (NTSC/PAL detection, signal detection, sync separation, and AFC)
. Conversion of RGB digital signal into composite video and S video signals (Encoding of video signal)
4-2-2. Interface Block (IF-851 Board)

A monitor output signal is switched into THROUGH or EE using this block. By using a mechanical
relay, the monitor output of an input signal can be performed even if the power of this unit is off.

(2) Y/C separation block

A digital comb filter (IC109) is used to separate the luminance signal (Y) and chroma signal (C) of a
composite video signal.
The input composite video signal is passed through a band rejection filter (FL101), amplified by
about two times, and input to pin 15 of IC109. The separated luminance signal is output from pin 6
and passed through a band rejection filter. After that, the signal is input to the video switch (IC104)
that switches the luminance signal of an S video signal. In the same manner as described above, a
chroma signal is output from pin 8 and input through a band rejection filter to the same video switch.

(3) Composite sync signal separation circuit

A composite sync signal (CSYNC) is separated by IC203.
The composite sync signal of the Y signal input to pin 6 of IC203 is separated by IC203, and the Y
signal is output from pin 3. The output signal at pin 3 is positive-synchronous. Therefore, the output
signal is inverted by Q201 so that it is negative-synchronous.

(4) Decoder block

On this board, the Y/C jungle (CXA2076Q IC204) for a color television is used for decoding of a
video signal. This circuit is compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems. It integrates luminance
signal processing, chroma signal processing, RGB signal processing, and sync signal processing into
one chip. Each adjustment and setting are controlled by I2CBUS.
The input luminance and chroma signals are input to pins 55 and 57 of IC204. After each processing
has been performed, the input signal is output from pins 22, 24, and 26 as an RGB signal.
A VBS/S video signal is delayed by the processing in IC204. Therefore, the signal passed through a
delay line (DL101) of 350 ns is used for sync separation so as to make the timing of a video signal
coincide with that of a sync signal. (Input signal at pin 56)
The hue and color that the user adjusts are adjusted by IC204.
IC211 is a 1H CCD delay line for PAL.

(6) Demodulation axis correction circuit

Since, in a television circuit (IC204) for the consumer, the demodulation axis is not orthogonal for
NTSC, a matrix circuit (R241 to R249) is inserted into an RGB signal line so as to correct the
demodulation axis to an orthogonal axis. For PAL, the demodulation axis is orthogonal.
Demodulation is not related when an RGB signal is selected. In this case, therefore, the matrix circuit
must be turned off. The matrix circuit is switched to ON or OFF by IC206 and IC210.

(7) AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuit

This unit mounts a peak AGC circuit that has actual results on the medical market.
The peak value of the RGB signal output from IC204 is sampled by Q301, Q302, and Q303. The
resultant signal is passed through a low-pass filter (R314 and C306) and then input to the operational
amplifier (IC302). The control level is properly adjusted by IC302. The input signal is then passed
through a switch (IC307) for manual gain adjustment (output signal at pin 3 of IC303) and input to the
control pin of GCA (Gain Control Amplifier) (IC304 to IC306).

2. Output Signal Processing Block (Encoder Block)

(1) Video encoder block
On this board, BH7243KV (IC407) (made by ROHM) is used as the encoder of a video signal. This
circuit incorporates an eight-bit, three-channel DA converter and video encoder. By inputting a
subcarrier and composite sync signal, an eight-bit RGB digital signal can be converted into a
composite video signal by one chip. The output of RGB, S video, and composite video signals can be
driven in 75 ohms. Moreover, this circuit has an internal OSD (On Screen Display) selector switch.
Setting and adjustment are all performed by I2CBUS. An OSD character signal is sent from the SY299 board.

(2) Sync generator block

A sync signal for the monitor output must be generated by this unit when a memory image is selected
for the monitor output or when no input signal exists. This circuit is peripheral circuit IC406.
IC406 is a sync signal generator compatible with NTSC and PAL systems. IC406 generates video
pulses (CSYNC, ODD/EVEN, HD, VD, and SC signals) by inputting a clock. These video pulses are
sent to IC407 and a frame memory block.
NTSC and PAL are switched by Q408. For NTSC, the X401 block is turned on, and a clock of
14.31818 MHz is sent. For PAL, the X402 and X403 blocks are turned on, and clocks of 14.1875
MHz and 17.734475 MHz are sent, respectively. For PAL, a subcarrier (SC signal) is synchronized
with a horizontal sync signal by VCXO (peripheral circuits Q407 and Q409).

2. Stepping motor drive circuit

The control signals of each phase (A, A, B, and B) are output at pins 93 to 96 of IC302 on the SY-299
board. Drive circuit IC204 on the MEC-15/MEC-20 board drives the stepping motor by chopper drive.
The excitation system of the stepping motor is based on one-/two- phase excitation. The reference
voltage input to pins 3 and 14 of IC204 on the MEC-15/MEC-20 board drops during a motor stops by
switching the control signal at pin 29 of IC302 on the MEC-15/MEC-20 board. Then, grip roller drives
through the belt from a stepping motor.
Besides, this circuit is designed that +32 V is not supplied by controlling of power supply control line
(pin 3 of CN201) except print and pre-heat conditions.

4-3-5. Head Control Block

The head control block corrects the parallel print data per line from the VPR-74 board and transfers it to
the thermal head for printing.
The head control block consists of the following five blocks.
. Color table RAM plus temperature correction offset (IC501) that -corrects the parallel print data
from VPR-74 board
. Image processing circuit (picture quality control) (IC502) that performs pattern recognition
interpolation, edge emphasis, and thermal storage correction
. Head drive circuit (IC401, 403) that PWM-converts parallel data and transfers print data to the thermal
head
. Line number correction circuit (voltage drop control) (IC402) that corrects the voltage drop due to the
common resistor of a thermal head
. Head voltage correction circuit
Print data is received from the VPR-74 board as parallel data, -corrected, and processed by a PQC
circuit. After that, the print data is PWM-modulated using a head drive circuit and transferred to the
thermal head via CN401 on the SY-299 board.
correction circuit
The print data sent from the VPR-74 board is -corrected using the data conversion table of RAM
(IC501). Before printing, the data of each YMC color corresponding to the media type, paper feeding
and type is written in the address of RAM. IC501 also accounts two data offset for temperature
correction of continuity printing and color balance functions, and then add it to print data.
UP-20/21MD V1
4-31
PQC IC
The main functions of PQC IC are as follows.
. Edge emphasis
Performs the edge emphasis that improves the sharpness of an image using a digital filter in the
horizontal and vertical directions.
. Thermal storage correction
Corrects the dullness and unstableness of rising due to the defective thermal response of a head using a
digital filter.
. Re-sizing
Digitized video signal data is re-sized to number of a head element corresponding to division mode.
. Patter recognition of data complement
Performs the data complement in relation to the head direction and feed direction respectively.
Head drive circuit
. PWM modulation
PWM-modulates eight-bit parallel data and converts it into serial print data.
. Divided print processing
Divides one gradation into four for printing so that the clearance between print lines does not stand out
when the print dot area of a low-density image portion becomes smaller.
Line number correction circuit
The combined resistance of an element decreases when the number of heating resistor elements that
carries a current to the thermal head increases. In this case, the voltage drop due to the common
resistance of a harness cannot be ignored and the print density decreases. Therefore, this circuit controls
the current-carrying time of a head element and corrects the print density.
Head voltage correction
The head voltage can be increased or decreased by changing a VCONT signal (pin 3 of CN201 on the
MEC-15/MEC-20 board) for the power supply block. A VCONT signal is controlled using software by
using the D/A conversion output (pin 6 of IC101 on the MEC-15/MEC-20 board).
All that, head voltage is not output according to VCONT signal controls except during printing and preheating of the thermal head.
. Correction by feed pitch
When data is printed at the same head voltage, the print density becomes thicker as the feed pitch
becomes narrower. Therefore, an offset is made in each feed of ordinary S-size print (FULL, twodivision and four-division), L-size print (FULL, two-division and eight-division) and moreover printing
speed.

4-4-3. Circuit Operation

. Reset circuit
The reset circuit uses PST572CMT (IC105). This circuit outputs a low pulse of about 60 msec when Vcc
becomes less than 4.5 V during the power-on or off sequence. The reset pulse is input to the reset pin
(pin 59) of CPU (IC103). The CPU on the SY-299 board is then reset. After the reset is released, the
CPU outputs the reset pulses for other boards from the reset output pins (pins 28 and 74).

. Oscillator circuit
The basic clock (9.8304 MHz) of the SY-299 board that is generated using an oscillator circuit
incorporating a crystal oscillator (X101) and CPU (IC103) can be confirmed at pin 61 of IC103.
. Nonvolatile memory
Each menu setting, caption character string or data for COLOR LOAD and USER LOAD is stored in
64 kbit I2C serial EEPROM (IC101). The system starts under last-call state (that is setting state under
turned off the power) according to data is read from the nonvolatile memory when the system starts.
However, when setting is changed in COLOR ADJUST menu and turn off the power during [TEMP]
state but SAVE COLOR is not set in the menu, setting value on this menu page is not stored in IC101.
At that, I2C bus using for data storing is used in common that controls for analog board. When this IC is
replaced, reset of default setting must be performed after resetting of LANGUAGE on the SERVICE
MENU 1.
. LED control
The PRINT LED (that lights during printing) is controlled by CPU (pin 35 of IC103). A digital transistor
of final stage is Q301 on the KEY-49/KEY-51 board. (Q302 on the KEY-51 board for UP-20.) The
ALARM LED (that lights when an error occurs in a printer) is controlled by CPU (pin 36 of IC103). A
digital transistor of final stage is Q302 on the KEY-49/KEY-51 board. (Q301 on the KEY-51 board for
UP-20.)
. Buzzer control
A buzzer sound pulse is output from CPU (pin 39 of IC103). The buzzer does not sound when
[BEEP:OFF] is set in the menu.
. Liquid-crystal display (LCD) control
The bus control of LCD is performed using IC201 and IC204, and IC301 on the KEY-49/KEY-51 board.
The display density of LCD is decided the analog voltage value that is output from CPU (pin 43 of
IC103) and then drive it in IC 206 and peripheral circuit. No display may appear on the LCD when
[LCD-CONT:OFF] is set in the menu. This circuit is common to keymatrix and operates as bus control
of LCD when CS2 is set in the menu.
. Input of main units key (main key/operation key)
The state of the main units key is processed by IC201 and IC204, and IC303, IC304, D305 to D308 and
R342 to R347 on the KEY-49/KEY-51 board, and input through a data bus to CPU. This circuit is
common to bus control of LCD and operates as input of main units key when CS3 is set in the menu.

UP-20/21MD V1
. Screen display control

A screen display control signal is generated by IC102. Exclusive clock circuit uses in this IC102. The
clock frequency have an effect to horizontal size on the screen. The H-sync and V-sync signal inputs
from the VPR-74 board are required as a timing pulse during operation. The control signal of display
data is output from CPU (pins 1 to 3 of IC103). Characters are actually superimposed using an analog
switch on the VPR-74 board. No screen display may appear when [SOURCE:THRU] or
[DISPLAY:OFF] is set in the menu.
. Remote 1 input and infrared remote control reception
An infrared remote control pulse is received using the infrared photosensor (IC302) on the KEY-49/KEY51 board. This pulse is waveform-shaped by IC209 on the SY-299 board and output to the IF-852 board.
When a wired remote control is connected to J1 on the IF-852 board, a wired remote control pulse is
selected as output. When it is not connected to J1, output pulse of a photosensor is selected as output.
One of selected pulse is waveform-shaped by IC209 on the SY-299 board and shift by IC106, then input
to CPU (pins 40 and 41 of IC103). Therefore, the wire remote control operation may fail due to the
failure of J1 on the IF-852 board.
. Remote 2 input
The two types of remote controls can be connected that are a open/short remote control (RM-91 etc.) and
analog-level remote control (FS-36 etc.) in J2 on the IF-852 board. A open/short-level signal is processed
by IC205 and input to CPU (pin 75 of IC103). An analog-level signal is processed by IC206 and input to
CPU (pin 49 of IC103).
. Remote 2 output
The control signal of a BUSY output signal is output by CPU (pin 34 of IC103) and driven using a buffer
(IC208). Afterward, a signal is input to two circuits of TTL output and open collector output, then an
output signal is decided either them by setting of S201 on the SY-299 board.

PRINT RESULT
The flow of a video signal can be mainly classified into input, monitor output, and print output blocks.
The block in which a trouble occurs can be supposed from the trouble state.
1. Both the print result and monitor display are abnormal.
In this trouble state, a trouble occurs in the input block.
2. The print result is normal and the monitor display is abnormal.
In this trouble state, a trouble occurs in the monitor output block.
3. The print result is abnormal and the monitor display is normal.
In this trouble state, a trouble occurs in the print output block.
Each block is described below.
For more details, refer to the block diagram, schematic diagram, and circuit operation description of each
board.
UP-20/21MD V1
5-1
Input Block
In the input block, the flow of a signal is as follows:
Signal input terminal (IF-851) - ADC (VPR-74) - DRAM (VPR-74)
If a trouble is judged to occur in the input block, check the state of a video trouble fully. For fine
symptoms in dots, a trouble may occur in a digital processing system [ADC (around IC350 to IC352) DRAM (around IC801)]. In other states, a trouble may occur in an analog processing system [IF-851 Decoder (around IC204) - ADC].
In the trouble of an analog processing system, the place where a trouble occurs can be more narrowed
down by checking the state of each signal (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and RGB).
Monitor Output Block
In the monitor output block, the flow of a signal is as follows:
DRAM (VPR-74) - Encoder (VPR-74) - Signal output terminal (IF-851)
Like an input processing block, it can be supposed to some degree by the trouble state whether the block
where a trouble occurs is a digital processing system [DRAM - encoder (around IC407)] or analog
processing system (encoder - IF-851).
The place where a trouble occurs can be more narrowed down by the state of each monitor output signal
(VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and RGB).
Print Output Block
In the print output block, the flow of a signal is as follows:
DRAM (VPR-74) - Masking (VPR-74) - Head control (SY-299) - Thermal head
The data output from DRAM on the VPR-74 board is input through the masking circuit (around IC902
and IC903) on the VPR-74 board to the head control circuit (around IC401, IC402, and IC403) on the
SY-299 board.
Moreover, the print signal that was converted from serial to parallel in the head control block is output
through a harness from CN401 on the SY-299 board to the thermal head.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem,
perform the following safety checks before
releasing the set to the customer :
Check the metal trim, metallized knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to
earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to
any exposed metal part having a return to
chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA. Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three
methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the
Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the
manufacturers instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The
Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is
suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor
by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC
voltmeter. The limit indication is 0.5 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM
that is suitable. (See Fig. A)
