TACTICAL  DITEG  MODULE  (TDM)

TABULAR   VIDEO   GENERATOR.—  T h e tabular  video  generator  forms  the  composite  video signals  to  display  text  data  on  six  TV  monitors.  The tabular  video  generator  can  create  video  in  one  of three  video  formats.  The  video  formats  are  40  x  80 x  9,  40  x  80  x  8,  and  48  x  16  x  9.  The  character information  to  be  displayed  is  received  from  the  PIO data   and   address   buses,   converted   to   a   video   bit stream   and   then   to   the   analog   composite   video signal  that  is  sent  to  the  TV  monitors. I-DATA   TRANSMITTERS.—   The   I-data transmitters   interface   the   system   computer   with   the I/O   controller. The   I-data   transmitters   receive computer  input  data  from  the  I/O  controller  and level  shift  the  data  for  transmission  over  the  system I/O   cables. C-DITEG   Video   Drawer The   C-DITEG   video   drawer   receives   the formatted  video  data  from  the  processor  drawer  and generates  the  composite  video  signals  for  the  display control  console  and  large  screen  displays.  Display data  for  hard-copy  display  is  sent  from  the  video drawer  to  the  processor  drawer.  The  video  drawer is  capable  of  driving  six  display  control  consoles and   two   large   screen   displays.   The   video   drawer consists   of   the   following   functional   areas: Timing   synchronizer Bit   map   memory   and   control   function Video   multiplexer Tactical  video  generator TIMING   SYNCHRONIZER.—  The   timing synchronizer   generates   the   clocks,   sync   signals, blanking  signals,  and  shift  controls  needed  by  the video   drawer   for   video   generation. BIT   MAP   MEMORY   AND   CONTROL FUNCTION.—  The  bit  map  memory  and  control function   consists   of   44   or   48   1024   x   1024-bit Cartesian   coordinate   memory   planes.   Video   drawers with   field   change   2   installed   have   48   memory planes.   These   memory   planes   store   the   images   that are   to   be   displayed   on   the   DCC   and   LSD.   Images are   written   on   the   memory   plane   by   the   processor drawer   using   the   same   coordinates   as   if   they   were being   displayed   on   a   screen.   The   display   data   is read  out  of  the  memory  planes  as  serial  bit  streams and   sent   to   the   video   multiplexer   for   eventual display. V I D E O    M U L T I P L E X E R . —    The   video multiplexer  receives  the  48  bit  streams  from  the  bit map  memory  and  creates  serial  data  streams  for  use by   the   tactical   video   generator. The   video multiplexer  also  provides  the  data  for  a  hard-copy printout   to   the   processor   drawer. TACTICAL   VIDEO   GENERATOR.—   The tactical   video   generator   converts   the   data   streams from   the   video   multiplexer   into   composite   video. The   tactical   video   generator   can   generate   color video  for  six  color  tactical  display  channels  and  two monochrome   large   screen   display   channels.   Color is   not   currently   used   in   the   AN/UYQ-21(V)   system and  the  six  tactical  color  outputs  normally  drive  the OJ-535(V)/UYQ-21(V)   display   control   consoles. Pixel  data  from  the  data  streams  and  sync  signals from  the  timing  synchronizer  are  combined  in  the tactical   video   generator   to   produce   a   composite video   output. The  video  output  is  modified  for 1075   lines   per   screen   with   1024   displayable   lines. There  are  two  modes  of  video  output  for  the  tactical video  channels:  1024  pixels  per  line  or  1280  pixels per   line.   In   the   1280   pixel   per   line   mode,   the additional   256   pixels   are   used   to   paint   the   VFK labels   on   the   DCCs.   The   LSD   video   is   always output  in  the  1024  pixel  per  line  mode. DIGITAL   TELEVISION   GRAPHICS GENERATOR   (DITEG) The   digital   television   graphics   generator (DITEG)   is   an   electronics   drawer   that   provides   the circuitry   required   to   display   graphics   data   on   a single   PPU   or   DCC.   One   DITEG   can   drive   one PPU.   In   addition,   the   DITEG   provides   the   interface for  ball  tab  information  from  a  DCC  to  be  displayed on   the   DITEG   display   screen. The   DITEG generates   the   composite   video   for   display   on   the PPU  in  a  manner  similar  to  that  described  for  the C-DITEG. 4-24
