4.2.2.3
VoSPI Stream
A VoSPI stream is simply a continuous sequence of VoSPI frames following a synchronization event. Provided that
synchronization is maintained, a VoSPI stream can continue indefinitely. Note that the frame rate of the stream of
packets is nominally just below 27 Hz, allowing easy interface to a display system without the need for host-side
frame buffering. However, the rate of unique frames is just below 9 Hz to comply with US export restrictions. For
each unique 80x60 frame, two duplicates follow in the VoSPI stream. This pattern is illustrated in
Error! Not a
valid bookmark self-reference.
, with unique frames shown in blue and duplicates shown in gray. In some
applications, it might be beneficial to identify the first of the three identical frames (the frame with the least
latency). The 32-bit frame counter provided in the telemetry lines (see
) can be used
for this purpose. It only increments on new frames, which is also illustrated in
Error! Not a valid bookmark
self-reference.
.
