Introduction
Three distinct ITU-R 656 modes are supported:
• Active video only - The PPI does not read in any data between the
End of Active Video (EAV) and Start of Active Video (SAV) pre-
amble symbols, or any data present during the vertical blanking
intervals. In this mode, the control byte sequences are not stored to
memory; they are filtered by the PPI.
• Vertical blanking only - The PPI only transfers Vertical Blanking
Interval (VBI) data, as well as horizontal blanking information and
control byte sequences on VBI lines.
• Entire field - The entire incoming bitstream is read in through the
PPI. This includes active video, control preamble sequences, and
ancillary data that may be embedded in horizontal and vertical
blanking intervals.
Though not explicitly supported, ITU-R 656 output functionality can be
achieved by setting up the entire frame structure (including active video,
blanking, and control information) in memory and streaming the data out
the PPI in a frame sync-less mode. The processor’s 2D DMA features
facilitate this transfer by allowing the static frame buffer (blanking and
control codes) to be placed in memory once, and simply updating the
active video information on a per-frame basis.
The general-purpose modes of the PPI are intended to suit a wide variety
of data capture and transmission applications. The modes are divided into
four main categories, each allowing up to 16 bits of data transfer per
PPI_CLK
cycle:
• Data receive with internally generated frame syncs
• Data receive with externally generated frame syncs
• Data transmit with internally generated frame syncs
• Data transmit with externally generated frame syncs
