Video Port Interface (VPIF)
Supported Use Cases
The following describes supported VPIF use cases. Actual VPIF performance may vary between devices
designs because of system-level limitations.
The VPIF module has two input channels and two output channels. All channels can be activated
simultaneously (see
). The module uses four 512 byte buffers to cache data.
•
Channels 0 and 1 are prepared only for input.
•
Channels 2 and 3 are prepared only for output.
As shown in
, both NTSC and PAL formats are supported. The supported VBI format is be
based on ITU-BT.1364.
