Video Port  
1.1 Video Port  
The video port peripheral can operate as a video capture port, video display port, or transport channel  
interface (TCI) capture port.  
It provides the following functions:  
Video capture mode:  
Capture rate of up to 80 MHZ.  
Two channels of 8-bit digital video input from a digital camera or an analog camera (using a video  
decoder). Digital video input is in YCbCr 4:2:2 format with 8-bit resolution multiplexed in ITU-R  
BT.656 format.  
One channel of Y/C 16-bit digital video input in YCbCr 4:2:2 format on separate Y and Cb/Cr inputs.  
Supports SMPTE 260M, SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M, ITU-BT.1120, etc., as well as older  
CCIR601 interfaces.  
YCbCr 4:2:2 to YCbCr 4:2:0 horizontal conversion and 1/2 scaling in 8-bit 4:2:2 modes.  
Direct interface for two channels of up to 8-bit or one channel of up to 16-bit raw video from A/D  
converters.  
Video display mode:  
Display rate of up to 110 MHZ.  
One channel of continuous digital video output. Digital video output is YCbCr 4:2:2 co-sited pixel  
data with 8-bit resolution multiplexed in ITU-R BT.656 format.  
One channel of Y/C 16-bit digital video output in YCbCr 4:2:2 format on separate Y and Cb/Cr  
outputs. (Supports SMPTE 260M, SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M, ITU-BT.1120, etc.)  
YCbCr 4:2:0 to YCbCr 4:2:2 horizontal conversion and 2x scaling of output in 8-bit 4:2:2 modes.  
Programmable clipping of BT.656 and Y/C mode output values.  
One channel of raw data output up to 16-bits for interface to RAMDACs. Two channel synchronized  
raw data output.  
Synchronizes to external video controller or another video display port.  
Using the external clock, the frame timing generator provides programmable image timing that  
includes horizontal and vertical blanking, start of active video (SAV) and end of active video (EAV)  
code insertion, and horizontal and frame timing pulses.  
Generates horizontal and vertical synchronization and blanking signals and a frame synchronization  
signal.  
TCI capture mode: Transport channel interface (TCI) from a front-end device (such as demodulator) or  
a forward error correction device in 8-bit parallel format at up to 30 Mbytes/sec.  
The port generates up to three events per channel in BT656 and Y/C Mode, one event per channel in  
RAW and TCI mode and one interrupt to the DSP.  
A high-level block diagram of the video port is shown in Figure 1-1. The port consists of two channels: A  
and B. You can split a 5120-byte capture/display buffer between the two channels. The entire port (both  
channels) is always configured for either video capture or display only. Separate data pipelines control the  
parsing and formatting of video capture or display data for each of the BT.656, Y/C, raw video, and TCI  
modes.  
For video capture operation, the video port may operate as two 8-bit channels of BT.656 or raw video  
capture; or as a single channel of 8-bit BT.656, 8-bit raw video, 8-bit Y/C video, 16-bit raw video, or 8-bit  
TCI.  
For video display operation, the video port may operate as a single channel of 8-bit BT.656, 8-bit raw  
video, 8-bit Y/C video, or 16-bit raw video. It may also operate in a two channel 8-bit raw mode in which  
the two channels are locked to the same timing. Channel B is not used during single channel operation.  
It is important to note that the VideoPort Data pin numbering is compatible with TMS320DM642 DSP  
chip.In case of a 8-bit channel the suffixes for the data pins are mentioned as VDOUT[9-2]for  
display/output port and VDIN[9-2]for capture/input port. In case of a 16-bit channel the suffixes for the data  
pins are mentioned as VDOUT[19-2]for display/output port and VDIN[19-2]for capture/input port.

Video Port FIFO  
1.2 Video Port FIFO  
The video port includes a FIFO to store data coming into or out from the video port. The video port  
operates in conjunction with EDMA transfers to move data between the video port FIFO and external or  
on-chip memory. You can program threshold settings so that EDMA events generate when the video port  
FIFO reaches a certain fullness (for capture) or goes below a certain fullness (for display). You set up  
EDMA Channels that are required to service the FIFO independently and are key to correct operation of  
the video port. The FIFO size is relatively large to allow time for EDMA Channels to service the transfer  
requests, since the device typically has many peripheral interfaces, including five video ports.  
The following sections briefly describe the interaction with the EDMA and different FIFO configurations  
that are used to support the various modes of the video port.  
1.2.1 EDMA Interface  
Video port data transfers take place using EDMA Channels. EDMA requests are based on buffer  
thresholds. Since the video port does not directly source the transfer, it can not adjust the transfer size  
based on buffer empty/full status. This means the EDMA transfer size is essentially fixed in the  
user-programmed EDMA parameter table. The preferred transfer size is often one entire line of data  
because this allows the most flexibility in terms of frame buffer line pitch (in RAM). Some modes of  
operation for the highest display rates may require more frequent EDMA requests, such as on a half or  
quarter line basis.  
All requests are based on buffer thresholds. EDMA requests are made whenever the number of samples  
in the buffer reaches the threshold value in video capture mode. In order to ensure that all data from a  
capture field/frame gets emptied from the buffer, the transfer size must be equal to the threshold and the  
total amount of field/frame data must be a multiple of the transfer size.  
For video display operation, EDMA requests are made whenever there is at least the threshold number of  
double words free in the FIFO. This means that the transfer size must be equal or smaller than the  
threshold so that it fits into the available space. The field/frame size must still be a multiple of the transfer  
size or there are pixels left in the buffer at the end of the field (which appear at the start of the next field).

Video Port FIFO  
1.2.2 Video Capture FIFO Configurations  
During video capture operation, the video port FIFO has one of four configurations depending on the  
capture mode. For BT.656 operation, the FIFO is split into channel A and B, as shown in Figure 1-2. Each  
FIFO is clocked independently with the channel A FIFO receiving data from the VDIN[9-2] half of the bus  
and the channel B FIFO receiving data from the VDIN[19-12] half of the bus. Each channel's FIFO is  
further split into Y, Cb, and Cr buffers with separate write pointers and read registers (YSRCx, CBSRCx,  
and CRSRCx).

1.3 Video Port Registers  
The video port configuration register space is divided into several different sections with registers grouped  
by function including top-level video port control, video capture control, video display control, and GPIO.  
The registers for controlling the video port are in Section 2.4.  
The registers for controlling the video capture mode of operation are shown in Section 3.13. An additional  
space is dedicated for FIFO read pseudo-registers as shown in Section 3.14. This space requires  
high-speed access and is not mapped to the register access bus.  
The registers for controlling the video display mode of operation are shown in Section 4.12. An additional  
space is dedicated for FIFO write pseudo-registers as shown in Section 4.14. This space requires  
high-speed access and is not mapped to the register access bus.  
The registers for controlling the general-purpose input/output (GPIO) are shown in Section 5.1.

1.5 Video Port Pin Multiplexing  
None of the five Video Port have dedicated pins associated with them. Each of the Video Port has its pins  
multiplexed with other peripherals. In order to use a desired Video Port either in Capture or Display Mode,  
the user would first need to program the Pin Mux Register (PINMUX) appropriately to ensure that the  
multiplexed pins work as VideoPort pins. Refer to the device-specific data manual to know details of the  
PINMUX Register.  
1.6 VideoPort Clocking  
Each of the Video Ports have a LPSC associated with them. The LPSC provides the module clock and  
reset control. On power up, the LPSC's associated with Video Ports do not gate the clock required for the  
Video Port to function. User would need to appropriately program the LPSC associated with Video Port to  
provide the clock to the desired Video Port before trying a data transfer operation. Refer to the  
device-specific manual to know LPSC Video Port association and details of LPSC registers.

Reset Operation  
2.1 Reset Operation  
The video port has several sources and types of resets. The actions performed by these resets and the  
state of the port following the resets is described in the following sections.  
2.1.1 Power-On Reset  
Power-on reset is an asynchronous hardware reset caused by a chip-level reset operation. The reset is  
initiated by a power-on reset input to the video port. When the input is active, the port places all I/Os  
(VD[19-2], VCTL1, VCTL2, VCTL3, and VCLK1) in a high-impedance state.  
2.1.2 Peripheral Bus Reset  
Peripheral bus reset is a synchronous hardware reset caused by a chip-level reset operation. The reset is  
initiated by a peripheral bus reset input to the video port. This reset can be used internally (continuously  
asserted) to disable the video port for low-power operation. When the input is active, the port does the  
following:  
Places (keeps) all I/Os (VD[19-2], VCTL1, VCTL2, VCTL3, and VCLK1) in a high-impedance state.  
Flushes the FIFOs (resets pointers)  
Resets all port, capture, display, and GPIO registers to their default values. These may not complete  
until the appropriate module clock (VCLK1, STCLK) edges occur to synchronously release the logic  
from reset.  
Clears PEREN bit in PCR to 0.  
Sets VPHLT bit in VPCTL to 1.  
While the peripheral remains disabled (PEREN = 0):  
VCLK1, VCLK2, and STCLK are gated off to save peripheral power.  
Peripheral bus accesses are acknowledged (RREADY/WREADY returned) to prevent EDMA lock-up.  
(Any value returned on reads, data accepted or discarded on writes.)  
Peripheral bus MMR interface allows access to GPIO registers only (PID, PCR, PFUNC, PDIR, PIN,  
PDOUT, PDSET, PDCLR, PIEN, PIPOL, PISTAT, and PICLR).  
Port I/Os (VD[19-2], VCTL1, VCTL2, VCTL3, and VCLK2) remain in a high-impedance state unless  
enabled as GPIO by the PFUNC bits.  
If software sets the PEREN bit in PCR but the VPHLT bit in VPCTL remains set:  
VCLK1, VCLK2, and STCLK are enabled to the port (allowing logic reset to complete).  
Peripheral bus accesses are acknowledged (RREADY/WREADY returned) to prevent EDMA lock-up.  
(Any value returned on reads, data accepted or discarded on writes.)  
Peripheral bus MMR interface allows access to all registers.  
Port I/Os (VD[19-2], VCTL1, VCTL2, VCTL3, and VCLK2) remain in a high-impedance state unless  
enabled as GPIO by the PFUNC bits.  
VPCTL bits may be set (until the VPHLT bit is cleared).  
2.1.3 Software Port Reset  
A software port reset may be performed on the entire video port by setting the VPRST bit in VPCTL. This  
behaves identically to the peripheral bus reset except that it does not clear the PEREN bit in PCR. This  
reset:  
Performs a reset on all port logic (channel logic may stay in reset until port input clock pulses occur).  
Self-clears the VPRST bit to 0 but leaves the VPHLT bit set. The VCLK1 input must be clocking in  
order for this reset to take effect.

www.ti.com  
Interrupt Operation  
Note: The VPRST bit may take several clock cycles to clear to 0. The VPRST bit should be  
polled to make sure the bit is cleared prior to writing to the video port registers.  
Once the port is configured and the VPHLT bit is cleared, the setting of other VPCTL bits  
(except VPRST) is disabled. The VCLK2 output may also be driven at this time, if display  
mode is selected. VCTL1-3 must remain in a high-impedance state unless enabled as  
GPIO, since internal/external sync is selected through VDCTL.  
2.1.4 Capture Channel Reset  
A software reset may be performed on a single capture channel by setting the RSTCH bit in VCxCTL. This  
reset requires that the channel VCLKIN be transitioning. On capture channel reset:  
No new EDMA events are generated.  
Peripheral bus accesses are acknowledged (RREADY returned) to prevent EDMA lock-up. (Any value  
returned on reads).  
Channel capture registers are set to their default values.  
Channel capture FIFO is flushed (pointers reset).  
The VCEN bit in VCxCTL is cleared to 0.  
The RSTCH bit self-clears to 0 after completion of the above.  
Once the port is configured and the VCEN bit is set, the setting of other VCxCTL bits (except VCEN,  
RSTCH, and BLKCAP) is prohibited and the capture counters begin counting. When BLKCAP is cleared,  
data capture and event generation may begin.  
2.1.5 Display Channel Reset  
A software reset may be performed on the display channel by setting the RSTCH bit in VDCTL. This reset  
requires that the channel VCLKIN be transitioning. On display channel reset:  
No new EDMA events are generated.  
Peripheral bus accesses are acknowledged (WREADY returned) to prevent EDMA lock-up. (Write data  
may be written into the FIFO or discarded.)  
Channel display registers are set to their default values.  
Channel display FIFO is flushed (pointers reset).  
The VDEN bit in VDCTL is cleared to 0.  
The RSTCH bit self-clears to 0 after completion of the above.  
Once the port is configured and the VDEN bit is set, the setting of other VDCTL bits (except VDEN,  
RSTCH, and BLKDIS) is prohibited and the display counters begin counting. Data outputs are driven (with  
default value, blanking, and control codes as appropriate and any control outputs are driven). When the  
BLKDIS bit is cleared, event generation may begin and FIFO data displayed.  
2.2 Interrupt Operation  
The video port generates an interrupt to the DSP core after any of the following events occur:  
Capture complete (CCMPx) bit is set.  
Capture overrun (COVRx) bit is set.  
Synchronization byte error (SERRx) bit is set.  
Vertical interrupt (VINTxn) bit is set.  
Short field detect (SFDx) bit is set.  
Long field detect (LFDx) bit is set.  
STC absolute time (STC) bit is set.  
STC tick counter expired (TICK) bit is set.  
Display complete (DCMP) bit is set.  
Display under-run (DUND) bit is set.

EDMA Operation  
Display complete not acknowledged (DCNA) bit is set.  
GPIO interrupt (GPIO) bit is set.  
The interrupt signal is a pulse only and does not hold state. The interrupt pulse is generated only when the  
number of set flags in VPIS transitions from none to one or more. Another interrupt pulse is not generated  
by setting additional flag bits.  
Interrupts can be masked via the video port interrupt enable register (VPIE) using individual interrupt  
enables and the VIE global enable bit. The interrupts are cleared in the video port interrupt status register  
(VPIS) using the individual status bits. Writing a 1 to the appropriate bit clears the interrupt. The clearing  
of an interrupt flag reenables the generation of another interrupt pulse, if other flags are still set. In other  
words, pulse generation is reenabled by writing a 1 to any set bit of VPIS.  
Upon receiving an interrupt you should:  
1. Read VPIS.  
2. Perform the service routine for whatever bits are set.  
3. Clear appropriate bits by writing a 1 to their VPIS locations.  
4. Upon return from the ISR, if VPIS bits have been (or remain) set, then another interrupt will occur.  
2.3 EDMA Operation  
The video port uses up to three EDMA events per channel for a total of six possible events. Each EDMA  
event uses a dedicated event output. The outputs are:  
VPYEVTA  
VPCbEVTA  
VPCrEVTA  
VPYEVTB  
VPCbEVTB  
VPCrEVTB  
2.3.1 Capture EDMA Event Generation  
Capture EDMA events are generated based on the state of the capture FIFO(s). If no EDMA event is  
currently pending and the FIFO crosses the value specified by VCTHRLDn, an EDMA event is generated.  
Once an event has been requested, another EDMA event may not be generated until the servicing of the  
outstanding event has begun (as indicated by the first read of the FIFO by the EDMA event service). If the  
capture FIFO level exceeds 2x the VCTHRLDn value before the requested EDMA event completes, then  
another EDMA event may be generated. Thus, up to one EDMA event may be outstanding.  
An outgoing data counter counts data read by the EDMA. This counter is loaded with the VCTHRLDn  
value whenever a new EDMA service begins. The counter then counts down for each double-word read  
from the FIFO by the EDMA. The EDMA is complete when the counter reaches zero.  
For BT.656 and Y/C modes, there are three FIFOs, one for each of the Y, Cb, and Cr color components.  
Each FIFO generates its own EDMA event; therefore, the EDMA event state and FIFO thresholds for each  
FIFO are tracked independently. The Cb and Cr FIFOs use a threshold value of 1/2 (VCTHRLDn +  
VCTHRLDnmod 2).  
Because the capture FIFOs may hold multiple thresholds worth of data, a problem arises at the  
boundaries between fields. Since Field 1 and Field 2 may have different threshold values, the amount of  
data in the FIFO required to generate the EDMA event changes depending on the current capture field  
and the field of any outstanding EDMA requests. Similarly, the threshold value loaded in the outgoing data  
counter needs to change depending on which field's EDMA event is being serviced (not which field is  
currently being captured). To prevent confusion at the field boundaries, the VCxEVTCT register is  
programmed to indicate the number of events to generate for each field. An event counter tracks how  
many events have been generated and indicates which threshold value to use in event generation and in  
the outgoing data counter. After the last Field 1 event has been generated, the EDMA logic looks for FIFO  
> THRSHLD1 + THRSHLD2 to pre-generate the first Field 2 event. Once the last Field 1 event completes,  
the logic looks for FIFO > 2x THRSHLD2 (assuming a Field 2 event is outstanding).

EDMA Operation  
2.3.2 Display EDMA Event Generation  
Display EDMA events are generated based on the amount of room available in the FIFO. The VDTHRLDn  
value indicates the level at which the FIFO has room to receive another EDMA. If the FIFO has at least  
VDTHRLDn locations available, a EDMA event is generated. Once an E EDMA event has been  
requested, another EDMA event may not be generated until the servicing of the first EDMA event has  
begun (as indicated by the first write to the FIFO by the EDMA event service). If there is at least 2x the  
threshold space still available in the FIFO after the first EDMA service is begun (and the display event  
counter has not expired) then another EDMA event may be generated. Thus, up to one EDMA request  
may be outstanding.  
An incoming data counter is loaded with the VDTHRLDn (or VDTHRLDn/2 for Cb and Cr FIFOs) value at  
the beginning of each EDMA event service and counts down the incoming EDMA double words When the  
counter reaches 0, the EDMA event is complete.  
An EDMA event counter is used to track the number of EDMA events generated in each field as  
programmed in the VDDISPEVT register. The DISPEVT1 or DISPEVT2 value (depending on the current  
display field) is loaded at the start of each field. The event counter then decrements with each EDMA  
event generation until it reaches 0, at which point no more EDMA events are generated until the next field  
begins. Once the last line of data for a field has been requested, the EDMA logic stops generating events  
until the field is complete in case the CPU needs to modify the EDMA address pointers.  
For BT.656 and Y/C modes, there are three FIFOs, one for each of the Y, Cb, and Cr color components.  
Each FIFO generates its own EDMA event; therefore, the EDMA event state and FIFO thresholds for each  
FIFO are tracked independently. (The Cb and Cr FIFOs use a threshold value of 1/2 VDTHRLD).  
2.3.3 EDMA Size and Threshold Restrictions  
The video port FIFOs are 64-bits wide and always read or write 64 bits at a time. For this reason, EDMA  
accesses must always be an even number of words in length. It is expected that in most cases the  
threshold size is set to the line length (rounded up to the next double word). This always works because  
different lines are not packed together within a double word and the Cb and Cr thresholds  
(1/2 VCTHRLDx/VDTHRLD) are always rounded up to the double word.  
For example, in 8-bit BT.656 capture mode with a line length of 712 (Y), setting the threshold to the line  
length results in a VCTHRLD of 712 pixels x 1 bytes/pixel x double word/8 bytes = 89 double words. The  
Cb and Cr FIFOs contain half the data (44.5 double words) so their thresholds are set to 45 double words.  
Therefore, the Cb and Cr EDMAs each transmit an extra 4 bytes at the end of each line.  
If a multi-horizontal line length threshold is desired (2 lines, for example) then the chosen line length must  
round up to an even number of double words so that it is evenly divisible by 2. If this is not the case, then  
the Cb and Cr FIFO transfers are corrupted. For the multiline case, consider the same 8-bit BT.656  
capture mode with a line length of 712 (Y). If the threshold is set for 2 lines, this results in a VCTHRLD  
value of 2 x 89 = 178 double words. The actual Cb/Cr line length is 44.5 double words that requires a  
length of 45. To transfer 2 lines requires 2 x 45 = 90 double words. However, for this VCTHRLD, the  
EDMA logic would calculate the Cb/Cr threshold size as 178/2 = 89 double words, which is 1 double word  
off. This can be corrected by increasing the line length to 720 pixels (and ignoring the extra captured  
pixels) or decreasing it to 704 pixels.  
Similarly if a sub-horizontal line length is desired (1/2 line, for example), then the line length and threshold  
must be chosen such that the threshold is divisible by 2. (This can also be stated as the line length must  
be an even multiple of #EDMAs/line x 8). For the subline case, consider the 8-bit BT.656 capture mode  
with a line length of 624 (Y). If the threshold is set for 1/2 the line length, this results in VCTHRLD =  
(624/2)/8 = 39 double words. The EDMA logic would calculate the Cb/Cr threshold as 39/2 = 20 double  
words. However, two such Cb/Cr EDMA events would result in a transfer of 40 double words, which is  
larger than the actual Cb/Cr line length of (624/2)/8 = 39 double words. This can be corrected by changing  
the line size to 640 pixels or 608 pixels, or by changing the threshold to be 1/3 the line length (VCTHRLD  
= (624/3)/8 = 26 double words and the Cb/Cr threshold is 26/2 = 13 double words. 3 x 13 = 39 double  
words, which is exactly the Cb/Cr line length.)

Video Port Control Registers  
2.3.4 EDMA Interface Operation  
When the video port is configured for capture (or TCI) mode, it only accepts read requests from the EDMA  
interface. Write requests are false acknowledged (so the bus does not stall) and the data is discarded.  
When the video port is configured for display mode, it only accepts write requests. Read requests are  
false acknowledged (so the bus does not stall) and an arbitrary data value is returned.  
When the video port is in reset, is not enabled (PEREN bit cleared), halted (VPHALT bit is set), or the  
active mode is not enabled (VCEN or VDEN bit is cleared), then the port will false acknowledge all EDMA  
accesses to prevent bus lockup.  
The video port EDMA event generation logic is very tightly coupled to the EDMA interface accesses. An  
incorrectly programmed EDMA size causes the EDMA and FIFO to become misaligned causing  
aberrations in the captured or displayed data and likely resulting in an eventual FIFO overflow or  
underflow. In the same manner, if another system EDMA incorrectly addresses the video port during  
active capture or display, the video port has no way of determining that this is an errant EDMA because all  
it monitors is a EDMA access so it must perform the FIFO read or write. Such an errant EDMA eventually  
causes the FIFO to be over-read or overwritten.

2.4.4 Video Port Interrupt Status Register (VPIS)  
The video port interrupt status register (VPIS) displays the status of video port interrupts to the DSP. The  
interrupt is only sent to the DSP if the corresponding enable bit in VPIE is set. All VPIS bits are cleared by  
writing a 1, writing a 0 has no effect.  
The video port interrupt status register (VPIS) is shown in Figure 2-4 and described in Table 2-6.

Video Capture Port  
Video capture works by sampling video data on the input pins and saving it to the video  
port FIFO. When the amount of captured data reaches a programmed threshold level,  
an EDMA is performed to move data from the FIFO into DSP memory. In some cases,  
color separation is performed on the incoming video data requiring multiple FIFOs and  
EDMAs to be used.  
The video port enables capture of both interlaced and progressive scan data. Interlaced  
capture can be performed on either a field-by-field or a frame-by-frame basis. A capture  
window specifies the data to be captured within each field. Frame and field  
synchronization can be performed using embedded sync codes or configurable control  
inputs allowing glueless interface to various encoders and ADCs.

Video Capture Mode Selection  
3.1 Video Capture Mode Selection  
The video capture module operates in one of five modes as listed in Table 3-1. The transport channel  
interface (TCI) selection is made using the TCI bit in the video port control register (VPCTL). The CMODE  
bits are in the video capture channel x control register (VCxCTL). The Y/C and 16-bit raw capture modes  
may only be selected for channel A and only if the DCDIS bit in VPCTL is cleared to 0.  
When operating as a raw video capture channel, no data selection or data interpretation is performed. The  
16-bit raw capture mode is designed to accept data from A/D converters with resolution higher than eight  
bits (used, for example, in medical imaging).

TCI Capture

3.2 BT.656 Video Capture Mode  
The BT.656 capture mode captures 8-bit 4:2:2 luma and chroma data multiplexed into a single data  
stream. Video data is conveyed in the order Cb, Y, Cr, Y, Cb, Y, Cr, etc. where the sequence Cb, Y, Cr  
refers to co-sited luma and chroma samples and the following Y value corresponds to the next luminance  
sample. The data stream is de-multiplexed and each component is written in packed form into separate  
FIFOs for transfer into Y, Cb, and Cr buffers in DSP memory. (This is commonly called planar format).  
In BT.656 video capture mode, data bytes in which the 8 bits are all set to 1 (FFh) or are all set to 0 (00h)  
are reserved for data identification purposes and consequently, only 254 of the possible 256 8-bit words  
may be used to express signal value.  
3.2.1 BT.656 Capture Channels  
In dual channel operation, the video port can support capture of two BT.656 data streams or one BT.656  
data stream and one raw data stream. In the latter case, the BT.656 stream may occur on either Channel  
A or Channel B. In either case, the BT.656 stream(s) must have embedded timing reference codes and  
the appropriate VCTL input must be used as a CAPEN signal.  
If the port is configured for single channel operation, capture will take place on Channel A only. The  
unused half of the VDATA bus may be used for GPIO or for another peripheral function. For single  
channel operation, non-standard BT.656 data streams without embedded timing reference codes are  
supported through the use of the timing control (VCTL) input signals.  
3.2.2 BT.656 Timing Reference Codes  
For standard digital video, there are two reference signals, one at the beginning of each video data block  
(start of active video, SAV), and one at the end of each video block (end of active video, EAV).  
(Technically each line begins with the EAV code and ends just before the subsequent EAV code.) Each  
timing reference signal consists of a four sample sequence in the following format: FFh, 00h, 00h, XYh.  
(The FFh and 00h values are reserved for use in these timing reference signals.) The first three bytes are  
a fixed preamble. The fourth byte contains information defining field identification, the state of field  
blanking and state of line blanking. The assignment of these bits within the timing reference signal is listed  
in Table 3-2.

The protection bits allow the port to implement a DEDSEC (double error detection, single error correction)  
function on the received video timing reference code. The corrected values for the F, H, and V bits based  
on the protection bit values are shown in Table 3-4. The - entries indicate detected double bit errors that  
cannot be corrected. Detection of these errors causes the SERRx bit in the video port interrupt status  
register (VPIS) to be set.

3.2.3 BT.656 Image Window and Capture  
The BT.656 format is an interlaced format consisting of two fields. The video port allows capture of one or  
both fields. The captured image is a subset of each field and can be larger or smaller than the active video  
region. The captured image position is defined by the VCxSTRT1 and VCxSTOP1 registers for field 1, and  
the VCxSTRT2 and VCxSTOP2 registers for field 2. The VCXSTART and VCXSTOP bits set the  
horizontal window position for the field relative to the HCOUNT pixel counter. The VCYSTART and  
VCYSTOP bits set the vertical position relative to the VCOUNT line counter. This is shown in Figure 3-1.  
HCOUNT increments on every chroma sample period (every other VCLKIN rising edge) for which capture  
is enabled. Once VCOUNT = YSTART, line capture begins when HCOUNT = XSTART. It continues until  
HCOUNT = XSTOP. A field's capture is complete when HCOUNT = VCXSTOP and VCOUNT =  
VCYSTOP.

For the BT.656 video capture mode, the FIFO buffer is divided into three sections (three buffers). One  
section is 1280 bytes deep and is dedicated for storage of Y data samples. The other two sections are  
dedicated for storage of Cb and Cr data samples, respectively. The buffers for Cb and Cr samples are  
each 640 bytes deep. The incoming video data stream is separated into Y, Cb, and Cr data streams,  
scaled (if selected), and the Y, Cb, and Cr buffers are filled. Each of the three buffers has a  
memory-mapped location associated with it; YSRC, CBSRC, and CRSRC. The YSRC, CBSRC, and  
CRSRC locations are read only and are used by EDMAs to access video data samples stored in the  
FIFOs.  
If video capture is enabled (BLKCAP bit in VCxCTL is cleared), pixels in the capture window are captured  
in the Y, Cb, and Cr buffers. The video capture module uses the YEVT, CbEVT, and CrEVT events to  
notify the EDMA controller to copy data from the capture buffers to the DSP memory. The number of  
double words required to generate the events is set by the VCTHRLDn bits in VCxTHRLD. On every  
YEVT, the EDMA should move data from the Y buffer to DSP memory using the YSRC location as the  
source address. On every CbEVT, the EDMA should move data from the Cb buffer to DSP memory using  
the CBSRC location as the source address. On every CrEVT, the EDMA should move data from the Cr  
buffer to DSP memory using the CRSRC location as the source address. Note that transfer size from the  
Cb and Cr buffers is half of the transfer size from the Y buffer since for every four Y samples, there are  
two Cb and two Cr samples.  
3.2.4 BT.656 Data Sampling  
Incoming data (including timing codes) are sampled and the HCOUNT counter advanced only on clock  
cycles for which the CAPEN input is active. Inputs when CAPEN is inactive are ignored. The timing  
reference codes are recognized only when three sequential samples with CAPEN valid are the FFh, 00h,  
00h sequence. A non-00h sample after the FFh or after the first 00h causes the timing reference  
recognition logic to be reset and to look for FFh again. (Unsampled data; those with CAPEN inactive; in  
the middle of a timing reference do not cause the recognition logic to be reset since these are not  
considered to be valid inputs.)  
3.2.5 BT.656 FIFO Packing  
Captured data is always packed into 64-bits before being written into the capture FIFO(s).By default, data  
is packed into the FIFO from right to left.  
The 8-bit BT.656 mode uses three FIFOs for color separation. Samples are packed into each word as  
shown in Figure 3-2.

3.3 Y/C Video Capture Mode  
The Y/C capture mode is similar to the BT.656 capture mode but captures 8-bit 4:2:2 data on separate  
luma and chroma data streams. One data stream contains Y samples and the other stream contains  
multiplexed Cb and Cr samples co-sited with every other Y sample. The Y samples are written into a Y  
FIFO and the chroma samples are de-multiplexed and written into separate Cb and Cr FIFOs for transfer  
into Y, Cb, and Cr buffers in DSP memory.  
The Y/C capture mode supports HDTV standards such as SMPTE260, SMPTE296, and BT.1120 with  
embedded EAV and SAV codes. It also supports SDTV YCbCr modes that use separate control signals  
(sometimes called CCIR601 mode)  
As with the BT.656 capture mode, data bytes where the 8 most-significant bits are all set to 1 (FFh) or are  
all cleared to 0 (00h) are reserved for data identification purposes and consequentially only 254 of the  
possible 256 8-bit words may be used to express signal value.  
3.3.1 Y/C Capture Channels  
Because Y/C mode requires the entire VDATA bus, only single channel operation is supported. If the  
DCHDIS bit in VPCTL is set, then Y/C mode cannot be selected. Y/C capture takes place on channel A  
only. Both embedded timing references and external control inputs are supported.  
3.3.2 Y/C Timing Reference Codes  
Many high-resolution Y/C interface standards provide for embedded timing reference codes. These codes  
are identical to those used in the BT.656 standard except that they appear on both the luma (Y) and  
chroma (CbCr) data streams in parallel.  
3.3.3 Y/C Image Window and Capture  
The SDTV Y/C format (CCIR601) is an interlaced format consisting of two fields just like BT.656. HDTV  
Y/C formats may be interlaced or progressive scan. For interlaced capture, the capture windows are  
programmed identically to BT.656 mode. For progressive scan formats, only field1 is used.  
In Y/C mode, HCOUNT increments on every luma sample period (every VCLKINA rising edge) for which  
capture is enabled. Once YCOUNT = YSTART, line capture begins when HCOUNT = XSTART. It  
continues until HCOUNT = XSTOP. A field's capture is complete when HCOUNT = VCXSTOP and  
VCOUNT = VCYSTOP.

BT.656 and Y/C Mode Field and Frame Operation  
For the Y/C video capture mode, the FIFO buffer is divided into three sections (three buffers). One section  
is 2560 bytes deep and is dedicated for storage of Y data samples. The other two sections are dedicated  
for storage of Cb and Cr data samples, respectively. The buffers for Cb and Cr samples are each 1280  
bytes deep. The incoming video data stream is separated into Y, Cb, and Cr data streams, scaled (if  
selected) and the Y, Cb, and Cr buffers are filled. Each of the three buffers has a memory-mapped  
location associated with it; YSRC, CBSRC, and CRSRC. The YSRC, CBSRC, and CRSRC locations are  
read only and are used by EDMAs to access video data samples stored in the FIFOs. Reads must always  
be 64 bits.  
If video capture is enabled, pixels in the capture window are captured in the Y, Cb, and Cr buffers. The  
video capture module uses the YEVT, CbEVT, and CrEVT events to notify the EDMA controller to copy  
data from the capture buffers to the DSP memory. The number of pixels required to generate the events is  
set by the VCTHRLDn bits in VCxCTL (the VCTHRLDn value must be an even number for Y/C mode).  
The capture module generates the events after VCTHRLD new pixels have been received. On every  
YEVT, the EDMA should move data from the Y buffer to DSP memory using the YSRC register as the  
source address. On every CbEVT, the EDMA should move data from the Cb buffer to DSP memory using  
the CBSRC register as the source address. On every CrEVT, the EDMA should move data from the Cr  
buffer to DSP memory using the CRSRC register as the source address. Note that transfer size from the  
Cb and Cr buffers is half of the transfer size from the Y buffer since for every four Y samples, there are  
two Cb and two Cr samples.  
The three EDMA events are generated simultaneously when VCTHRLD is reached. Each event is  
reenabled when the first read of the respective FIFO by the requested EDMA begins.  
3.3.4 Y/C FIFO Packing  
Captured data is always packed into 64 bits before being written into the capture FIFO(s). By default, data  
is packed into the FIFO from right to left.  
The 8-bit Y/C mode uses three FIFOs for color separation. Samples are packed into each word as shown  
in Figure 3-3.

3.4 BT.656 and Y/C Mode Field and Frame Operation  
Because EDMAs are used to transfer data from the capture FIFOs to memory, there is a large amount of  
flexibility in the way that capture fields and frames are transferred and stored in memory. In some cases,  
for example a EDMA structure can be created to provide a set of ping-pong or round-robin memory buffers

BT.656 and Y/C Mode Field and Frame Operation  
to which a continuous stream of fields are stored without DSP intervention. In other cases, the DSP may  
need to modify EDMA pointer addresses after each field or frame is captured. In some applications, only  
one field may be captured and the other ignored completely, or a frame may need to be ignored in order  
to have time to process a previous frame. The video port addresses these issues by providing  
programmable control over different aspects of the capture process.  
3.4.1 Capture Determination and Notification  
The video port treats the capture of every field as a separate operation. In order to accommodate various  
capture scenarios, EDMA structures, and processing flows, the video port employs a flexible capture and  
DSP notification method. This is programmed using the CON, FRAME, CF1, and CF2 bits in VCxCTL.  
The CON bit controls the capture of multiple fields or frames. When CON = 1, continuous capture is  
enabled, the video port captures incoming fields (assuming the VCEN bit is set) without the need for DSP  
interaction. It relies on a EDMA structure with circular buffering capability to service the capture FIFOs.  
When CON = 0, continuous capture is disabled, the video port sets a field or frame capture complete bit  
(F1C, F2C, or FRMC) in VCxSTAT upon the capture of each field as determined by the state of the other  
capture control bits (FRAME, CF1, and CF2). Once the capture complete bit is set, at most, one more field  
or frame can be received before capture operation is halted. This prevents subsequent data from  
overwriting previous fields until the DSP has a chance to update EDMA pointers or process those fields.  
When a capture halt occurs, the video port stops capturing data (for the halted field). It then checks the  
appropriate capture complete bit at the start of each subsequent field and resumes capture if the bit has  
been cleared.  
The CON, FRAME, CF1, and CF2 bits encode the capture operations as listed in Table 3-6.

3.4.2 Vertical Synchronization  
The video port uses a capture window to determine which incoming data samples to capture in each field.  
The capture module uses a vertical line counter (VCOUNT) to track which video line is currently being  
received. The line counter is compared to the appropriate capture window start (VCYSTART1 or  
VCYSTART2) and stop (VCYSTOP1 or VCYSTOP2) values for the current field to determine if the current  
line is within the capture window. In order to correctly align the capture window within the field, the capture  
module must know which line should correspond to the first line of the field, that is, when to reset the line  
counter. This point may vary depending on the type of capture being performed and the signals available  
for vertical synchronization. The video port allows the vertical counter reset trigger to be determined by  
programming the EXC and VRST bits in VCxCTL. The encoding of these bits is shown in Table 3-7. Note  
that VModes 2 and 3 are only available for single channel operation (channel A).

VMode 0 is used for BT.656 or Y/C capture (with embedded control) and corresponds to most digital video  
standards that number lines beginning with the start of vertical blanking. VMode 1 can also be used for  
BT.656 or Y/C capture but counts from the first active video line. This makes field detection more  
straightforward in some instances (see Section 3.4.4) and allows the VCYSTARTn bit to be set to 1, but  
also has the effect of associating vertical blanking periods with the end of the previous field rather than the  
beginning of the current field. (This could be an issue when capturing VBI data.) VCOUNT operation for  
VMode 0 and VMode 1 is shown in Figure 3-4.

BT.656 and Y/C Mode Field and Frame Operation  
3.4.3 Horizontal Synchronization  
Horizontal synchronization determines when the horizontal pixel/sample counter is reset. The EXC and  
HRST bits in VCxCTL allow you to program the event that triggers the start of a line. The encoding of  
these bits is shown in Table 3-8.

EAV code (H=1) - beginning of horizontal blanking.

period. (VCTL1 must be configured as a horizontal control signal.)

VCTL1 input inactive edge - first active pixel on line or end of horizontal sync.  
(VCTL1 must be configured as a horizontal control signal.)  
HMode 0 is used for BT.656 or Y/C capture (with embedded control) and corresponds to the idea that  
each line begins with the horizontal blanking period. It does not align with most standards that start  
counting with the first active pixel; therefore, is only useful if capturing of HANC data before the SAV code  
is desired. HMode 1 is the default mode and corresponds to most digital video standards by making the  
first active pixel pixel0. It has the effect of associating horizontal blanking periods with the end of the  
previous line rather than the beginning of the line, but this is only an issue if you try to capture HANC data.  
In either mode, HCOUNT increments on every VCLKIN edge for Y/C operation and on every other  
VCLKIN edge for BT.656 operation but only when CAPEN is active. HCOUNT operation for HMode 1 and  
HMode 2 is shown in Figure 3-5.  
HMode 2 and HMode 3 are used for BT.656 or Y/C capture without embedded EAV/SAV code and allow  
alignment with either the beginning of the horizontal blanking period or the first active pixel, or the  
beginning or end of horizontal sync depending on the VCTL1 input. When VCTL1 is configured as a  
horizontal control input, no external CAPEN signal is available so the CAPEN signal is considered to  
always be active. HCOUNT operation for HMode 3 and HMode 4 is shown in Figure 3-6 for VCTL  
operating as either HSYNC or AVID.

3.4.4 Field Identification  
In order to properly synchronize to the source data stream and capture the correct fields, field  
identification needs to be performed. Field identification is made using one of three methods: EAV, field  
indicator input, or field detect logic. The field identification method is determined by the EXC, FLDD, and  
FINV bits in VCxCTL.

In the BT.656 standard and in many Y/C standards, a field identification (F) bit is contained in EAV and  
SAV codes embedded in the data stream. In the EAV field detect method, the F bit in the EAV of the first  
line of every field is checked. If F = 0, then the current field is defined as field 1. If F = 1, then the current  
field is defined as field 2. Depending on how the first line of a field is defined (as determined by the VRST  
bit in VCxCTL) and the video stream being captured, the F value at the start of a field may not reflect the  
actual field being supplied. The FINV bit in VCxCTL allows the detected field value to be inverted. (For  
example, in BT.656 525/60 operation, the F bit changes to 0 to indicate field 1 on the fourth line of the  
field. If the VRST bit is set so the line counter begins counting at line 1 of the field (the first EAV where V  
is 1), then the F bit still indicates field 2 (F = 1) and needs to be inverted. If the VRST bit is set to start  
counting lines beginning with the first active line (the first EAV where V is 0), the F value will have already  
changed to indicate field 1 (F = 0) and no inversion is necessary.)

Video Input Filtering  
The field indicator method uses the FID input directly to determine the current field. This is useful for Y/C  
data streams that do not have embedded EAV and SAV codes. The FID input is sampled at the start of  
each field. If FID = 0, then field 1 is starting; if FID = 1, then field 2 is starting. The start of each field is  
defined by the VRST bit in VCxCTL and is either the start or end of vertical blanking as determined by the  
VBLNK input. The FINV bit may be used in this method in systems where the FID input has the opposite  
polarity or where the field identification change lags the start of the field.  
The field detect method uses HYSNC and VSYNC based field detect logic. This is used for BT.656 or Y/C  
systems that provide only HSYNC and VSYNC. The field detect logic samples the state of the HSYNC  
input on the VSYNC active edge. If HSYNC is active on the active VSYNC edge, then field 1 is detected; if  
HSYNC is inactive on the active VSYNC edge, then field 2 is detected. Because of slight timing variations,  
the VSYNC transition may not coincide exactly with the HSYNC transition. The detection logic should  
implement a ±64 clock detection window around HSYNC. If both HSYNC and VSYNC leading edges occur  
within 64 cycles of each other, then field 1 is detected; otherwise, field 2 is assumed. This is shown in  
Figure 3-7 for active-low sync signals.

3.4.5 Short and Long Field Detect  
The short and long field detect logic is used to notify the DSP when a captured field shorter or longer than  
expected. Detection is enabled by the SFDE and LFDE bits in VCxCTL. The SFD and LFD bits in VPIS  
indicate when a short or long field occurred and trigger an interrupt to the DSP if enabled.  
If a vertical blanking period is detected before the end of the capture field, a short field is detected . If EAV  
is used for vertical sync (EXC = 0), then a short field is detected when an EAV with V = 1 occurs on or  
before VCOUNT = VCYSTOPn. If the VCTL2 input is used for vertical sync (EXC = 1), then a short field is  
detected if a VCTL2 active edge occurs before VCOUNT = (VCYSTOPn).  
If a vertical blanking period occurs more than 1 line past the end of the capture field, a long field is  
detected. A long field is detected when VCOUNT = VCYSTOPn + 1. (A long field is only detected when  
the VRST bit in VCxCTL is cleared to 0; when VRST = 1, a long field is always detected.) Long field  
detection cannot be used if the capture window is a vertical subset of the field that crops lines at the  
bottom. Such a window would always result in a long field detection. If VCTL2 is used for vertical sync,  
then the VCTL2 signal must represent VBLNK (vertical blank) for proper long field detect. If VCTL2 is a  
VSYNC (vertical sync) input, then a long field is always detected. (Even if VCYSTOPn is set to the last  
active line, VCOUNT usually increments past VCYSTOPn + 1 while it counts the vertical front porch lines  
that occur prior to VSYNC active.) Long field detection is only available when VRST is configured to be  
reset at the start of vertical blanking(VRST=0 in VCX_CTL).  
3.5 Video Input Filtering  
The video input filter performs simple hardware scaling and re-sampling on incoming 8-bit BT.656 or 8-bit  
Y/C data. Filtering hardware is always disabled during raw data capture modes. For proper filter operation,  
the channel's EXC bit in VCxCTL must be cleared to 0 (embedded timing reference codes used) and the  
CAPEN input must not go inactive during the active video window.

Video Input Filtering  
3.5.1 Input Filter Modes  
The input filter has four modes of operation: no-filtering, ½ scaling, chrominance re-sampling, and ½  
scaling with chrominance re-sampling. Filter operation is determined by the CMODE, SCALE, and  
RESMPL bits of VCxCTL.  
Table 3-10 shows the input filter mode selection. When 8-bit BT.656 or Y/C capture operation is selected  
(CMODE = x00), scaling is selected by setting the SCALE bit and chrominance re-sampling is selected by  
setting the RESMPL bit. If 8-bit BT.656 or Y/C capture is not selected (CMODE x00), filtering is  
disabled.

3.5.2 Chrominance Re-sampling Operation  
Chrominance re-sampling computes chrominance values at sample points midway between the input  
luminance samples based on the input co-sited chrominance samples. This filter performs the horizontal  
portion of a conversion between YCbCr 4:2:2 format and YCbCr 4:2:0 format. The vertical portion of the  
conversion must be performed in software.  
The chrominance re-sampling filters calculate the implied value of Cb and Cr in between luminance  
sample points based upon nearby co-sited Cb and Cr samples. The resulting values are clamped to  
between 01h and FEh and sent to the Cb and Cr capture buffers. Chrominance re-sampling is shown in  
Figure 3-8.

3.5.3 Scaling Operation  
The 1/2 scaling mode is used to reduce the horizontal resolution of captured luminance and chrominance  
data by a factor of two. For applications that require only CIF or lower resolutions, this reduces the video  
capture buffer memory requirements (and the bandwidth needed to write the buffer) by a factor of two.  
Vertical scaling must be performed in software. (The bandwidth to load in the buffer is again reduced by  
50% over the non-horizontal scaled case.)

Video Input Filtering  
The filtering for the luminance portion of the scaling filter changes depending on if chrominance  
re-sampling is also enabled. (By changing the luminance filter, the chrominance filters can remain the  
same.) The resulting values are clamped to between 01h and FEh and sent to the Y, Cb, and Cr capture  
buffers. Scaling for co-sited capture is shown in Figure 3-9 and scaling for chrominance re-sampling is  
shown in Figure 3-10.

Note that because input scaling is limited to 1/2, true CIF horizontal resolution is not achieved if the full  
BT.656 horizontal line (720 pixels) is captured. A CIF size line can be captured by selecting a 704  
pixel-sized window within the BT.656 line. This window size and location on the line are programmed  
using the VCXSTARTn and VCXSTOPn bits.  
Note that when 1/2 scaling is selected, horizontal timing applies to the incoming data (before scaling). The  
VCTHRLD value applies to the data written into the FIFO after scaling.  
Also note when using the scalar, standard BT.601 values should be used for the luma and chroma  
(16-240) data. Using values beyond this range may result in overflow and underflow. The scalar does not  
saturate the data; therefore, data going below 00h or above FFh will not be clipped, resulting in image  
degradation.  
3.5.4 Edge Pixel Replication  
Because the filters make use of preceding and trailing samples, filtering artifacts can occur at the  
beginning of the BT.656 or Y/C active line because no samples exist before the SAV code, and at the end  
of the BT.656 active line because no samples exist after the EAV code. In order to minimize artifacts, the  
first m samples after sample 0 (where m is the maximum number of preceding samples used by any of the  
filters) are mirrored to the left of sample 0 and the last m samples before the last sample are mirrored to  
the right of the last sample.  
Figure 3-11 shows edge pixel replication assuming an m value of 3. Sample a is the first sample after the  
SAV code. Therefore, samples b-d are mirrored to the left of sample a to provide values for the filter  
calculations on the first few pixels in the line. Likewise, samples n - 1 to n - 3 are mirrored to the right of  
the last sample n to provide values for the last few pixels on the line.

Ancillary Data Capture  
Note that edge pixel replication only comes into effect when the full BT.656 stream is being captured. If  
VCXSTART is greater than 0, then only some of the leading edge replicated pixels are used by the filter. If  
VCXSTART is greater than m, then none of the leading edge replicated pixels are used. Similarly, if  
VCXSTOP is less than the number of samples before EAV, then none or only some of the trailing edge  
replicated pixels are used by the filters.

Figure 3-12 shows an example of a capture window that is smaller than the BT.656 active line. Sample a  
is the first sample in the horizontal capture window and sample n is the last sample. In this case, any  
filtering done on the first sample location uses the m leading edge captured pixels (m is 3 in this example),  
and any filtering done on the last sample location uses the m trailing captured pixels. (From an  
implementation standpoint, the mirroring and filtering can still begin and end with SAV and EAV, but the  
samples before VCXSTART or after VCXSTOP must not be saved to the YCbCr buffers.)

3.6 Ancillary Data Capture  
The BT.656 and some Y/C specifications includes provision for carrying ancillary (non-video) data within  
the horizontal and vertical blanking regions. Horizontal ancillary (HANC) data appears between the EAV  
code and SAV codes. Vertical ancillary (VANC) data, also called vertical blanking interval (VBI) data,  
appears during the active horizontal line portion of vertically blanking (for example, after an SAV with  
V = 1). Ancillary data blocks are always preceded by an ancillary data header 00h, FFh, FFh.

Raw Data Capture Mode  
3.6.1 Horizontal Ancillary (HANC) Data Capture  
No special provisions are made for the capture of HANC data. HANC data may be captured using the  
normal video capture mechanism by programming VCXSTRT to occur before the SAV (when HCOUNT is  
reset by the EAV code) or by programming VCXSTOP to occur past the EAV code (when HCOUNT is  
reset by the SAV code). Note that the EAV code and any subsequent HANC data will still be YCbCr  
separated. Software must parse the Y, Cb, and Cr memory buffers to determine any HANC data presence  
and to reconstruct the HANC data. The VCTHRLD value and EDMA size must be programmed to  
comprehend the additional samples. You must disable scaling and chroma re-sampling when including the  
capture of HANC data to prevent data corruption.  
3.6.2 Vertical Ancillary (VANC) Data Capture  
VANC (or VBI) data is commonly used for such features as teletext and closed-captioning. No special  
provisions are made for the capture of VBI data. VBI data may be captured using the normal capture  
mechanism by programming VCYSTART to occur before the first line of active video on the first line of  
desired VBI data. (VCOUNT must be reset by an EAV with V = 1). Note that the VBI data will be YCbCr  
separated. Software must parse the Y, Cb, and Cr memory buffers to determine any VBI data presence  
and to reconstruct the VBI data. You must disable scaling and chroma re-sampling when the capture of  
VBI data is desired or the data will be corrupted by the filters.  
3.7 Raw Data Capture Mode  
In the raw data capture mode, the data is sampled by the interface only when the CAPEN signal is active.  
Data is captured at the rate of the sender's clock, without any interpretation or start/stop of capture based  
on the data values.  
To ensure initial capture synchronization to the beginning of a frame, an optional setup synchronization  
enable (SSE) bit is provided in VCxSTRT1. If the SSE bit is set, then when the VCEN bit is set to 1, the  
video port will not start capturing data until after detecting two vertical blanking intervals. If the SSE bit is  
cleared to 0, capture begins immediately when the VCEN bit is set.  
The incoming digital video capture data is stored in the FIFO, which is 2560-bytes (in dual-channel  
operation) or 5120-bytes deep (in single-channel operation). The memory-mapped location YSRCx is  
associated with the Y buffer. The YSRCx location is a read-only register and is used to access video data  
samples stored in the buffer.  
The captured data set size(image size) is set by VCxSTOPn. The VCXSTOP and VCYSTOP bits set the  
24-bits of data set size(VCXSTOP sets the lower 12 bits and VCYSTOP sets the upper 12 bits). Capture  
is complete and the appropriate F1C, F2C, or FRMC bit is set when the captured data size reaches the  
combined VCYSTOP and VCXSTOP value. The CAPEN signal must go inactive for a minimum of two  
VPCLK cycles after the pixel count has expired. Keeping the CAPEN signal active after the pixel count  
expires may cause a loss of pixels; therefore, it is not recommended to permanently enable the CAPEN  
signal during raw data capture mode.  
The video port generates a YEVT after the specified number of new samples has been captured in the  
buffer. The number of samples required to generate YEVTx is programmable and is set in the VCTHRLDn  
bits of VCxTHRLD. On every YEVT, the EDMA should move data from the buffer to the DSP memory.  
When moving data from the buffer to the DSP memory, the EDMA should use the YSRCx location as a  
source address.  
3.7.1 Raw Data Capture Notification  
Raw data mode captures a single data packet of information using only CAPEN for control. Field  
information is available only for channel A operation using the FID input on VCTL3. If the RDFE bit in  
VCACTL is set, then the video port samples the FID input at the start of each data block (when DCOUNT  
= 0 and CAPENA is active) to determine the current field. In this case, the CON, FRAME, CF1, and CF2  
bits in VCxCTL are used in a manner identical to BT.656 mode (see Section 3.4.1).

Raw Data Capture Mode  
For channel B operation or when the RDFE bit in VCACTL is not set, no field information is available.  
Some flexibility in capture and DSP notification is still provided in order to accommodate various EDMA  
structures and processing flows. Each raw data packet is treated similar to a progressive scan video  
frame. The raw data mode uses the CON and FRAME bits of VCxCTL in a slightly different manner, as  
listed in Table 3-11.

The CON bit controls the capture of multiple frames. When CON = 1, continuous capture is enabled, the  
video port captures incoming frames (assuming the VCEN bit is set) without the need for DSP interaction.  
It relies on a EDMA structure with circular buffering capability to service the capture FIFO. When CON = 0,  
continuous capture is disabled, the video port sets the frame capture complete bit (FRMC) in VCxSTAT  
upon the capture of each frame. Once the capture complete bit is set, at most, one more frame can be  
received before capture operation is halted (as determined by the FRAME bit state). This prevents  
subsequent data from overwriting previous frames until the DSP has a chance to update EDMA pointers  
or process those fields.  
3.7.2 Raw Data FIFO Packing  
Captured data is always packed into 64-bits before being written into the capture FIFO(s). By default, data  
is packed into the FIFO from right to left.  
The 8-bit raw-data mode stores all data in a single FIFO. Samples are packed together as shown in  
Figure 3-13.

3.8 TCI Capture Mode  
The transport channel interface (TCI) capture mode captures MPEG-2 transport data.  
3.8.1 TCI Capture Features  
The video port TCI capture mode supports the following features:  
Supports SYNC detect using the PACSTRT input from a front-end device.  
Data capture at the rising edge of incoming VCLK1.  
Parallel data reception.  
Maximum data rate of 30 Mbytes/second.  
Programmable packet size.  
Hardware counter mechanism to timestamp incoming packet data.  
Programmable filtering of packets with errors.  
Interrupt to the DSP, based on absolute system time or system time clock cycles.  
The video port does not perform following functions; these functions should be performed in software:  
PID filtering  
Data parsing  
De-scrambling of data  
3.8.2 TCI Data Capture  
Eight-bit parallel data is received on the input data bus. Data is captured on the rising edge of VCLKIN.  
The data consists typically of 188-byte packets, with the first byte a SYNC byte (also called a preamble).  
The capture packet length is determined by the value of VCASTOP.  
Data on the data bus is considered valid and captured only when the CAPEN signal is active. TCI data  
capture begins with a SYNC byte as indicated by PACSTRT (and CAPEN) active. (The SYNC byte may  
have any value.) Data is captured on each VCLK rising edge when CAPEN is active until the entire packet  
has been captured, irrespective of additional PACSTRT transitions. The end-of-packet condition occurs  
when the 24-bit capture byte counter (as reflected by the VCYPOS and VCXPOS bits of VCASTAT)  
equals the value in the VCYSTOP and VCXSTOP bits of VCASTOP. The captured data includes both  
SYNC byte and the data payload as shown in Figure 3-15.  
After a packet is captured, the video port waits for the next active PACSTRT to begin capture of another  
packet. Received packet data is packed into 64 bits before being written to the FIFO.

3.8.3 TCI Capture Error Detection  
The video port checks for two types of errors during TCI capture. The first is a packet error on the  
incoming packet as indicated by an active PACERR signal. If PACERR is active during any of the first  
eight bytes of a packet and error packet filtering is enabled (ERRFILT bit in TCICTL is set), then the video  
port will ignore (not capture) the incoming data until the next PACSTRT is received. If error packet filtering  
is not enabled or if PACERR becomes active sometime after the first eight bytes of the packet, the entire  
packet is captured and the PERR bit is set in the timestamp inserted at the end of the packet.  
The second error detected is an early PACSTRT error. This occurs when an active PACSTRT is detected  
before an entire packet (as determined by the packet size programmed in VCASTOP) has been captured.  
The port will continue to capture the expected packet size but will set the PSTERR bit in the timestamp  
inserted at the end of the packet. After capture completion, the port will wait for a subsequent PACSTRT  
before beginning capture of another packet.  
3.8.4 Synchronizing the System Clock  
Note: When you are using TCI capture mode, you must clock the STCLK input. If you do not  
need to synchronize to the system clock, you should clock STCLK via the VPxCLK0 input.  
Synchronization is an important aspect of decoding and presenting data in real-time digital data delivery  
systems. This is addressed in MPEG-2 transport packets by transmitting timing information in the  
adaptation fields of selected data packets. This value serves as a reference for timing comparison in the  
receiving system. The program clock reference (PCR) header, shown in Figure 3-16, is a 48-bit field (six  
bits are reserved). A 42-bit value is transmitted within the 48-bit stream and consists of a 33-bit PCR field  
that represents a 90-kHz clock sample and a 9-bit PCR extension field that represents a 27-MHz clock  
sample. The PCR indicates the expected time at the completion of reading the field from the bit stream at  
the transport decoder. The transport data packets are in-sync with the encoder time clock.

PCR extension  
The video port, in conjunction with the VCXO interpolated control (VIC), allows a combined hardware and  
software solution to synchronize the local system time clock (STC) with the encoder time clock reference  
transmitted in the bit stream.  
The video port maintains a hardware counter that counts the system time. The counter is driven by a  
system time clock (STCLK) input driven by an external VCXO. The counter is split into two fields: a 33-bit  
field (PCR base) that counts at 90 kHz and a 9-bit field (PCR extension) that counts at 27 MHz. The 9-bit

counter counts from 0 to 299 at 27 MHz. Each time the 9-bit counter rolls over to 0, the 33-bit counter is  
incremented by 1. This is equivalent to the PCR timestamp transmitted in the bit-stream. The 33-bit field  
can also be programmed to count at 27 MHz for compatibility with the MPEG-1 32-bit PCR, by setting the  
CTMODE bit in VCCTL to 1; in which case, the PCR extension portion of the counter is not used.  
Figure 3-17 shows the system time clock counter operation.

PCR Extension  
On reception of a packet (during the sync byte), a snapshot of the counter is captured. This snapshot, or  
timestamp, is inserted in the receiving FIFO at the end of each data packet. Software uses this timestamp,  
to determine the deviation of the local system time clock from the encoder time clock. Any time a packet  
with a PCR header is received, the timestamp for that packet is compared with the PCR value by  
software. A PLL is implemented in software to synchronize the STCLK with the encoder time clock value  
in the PCR. This algorithm then drives the VIC, which drives the VDAC output to the external VCXO,  
which supplies STCLK.  
The system time clock counter is initialized by software with the PCR of the first packet with a PCR  
header. After initialization, the counter can be reinitialized by software upon detecting a discontinuity in  
subsequent packet PCR header values.  
The system time is made available to the DSP at any time through the system time clock registers  
(TCISTCLKL and TCISTCLKM). The DSP can program the video port to interrupt the DSP whenever a  
specific system time is reached or whenever a specific number of system time clock cycles have elapsed.  
3.8.5 TCI Data Capture Notification  
Since TCI mode captures only data packets, there is no need for field control. Some flexibility in capture  
and DSP notification is still provided in order to accommodate various EDMA structures and processing  
flows. Each TCI data packet is treated similar to a progressive scan video frame. The TCI mode uses the  
CON and FRAME bits of VCACTL in a slightly different manner, as listed in Table 3-12.  
The CON bit controls the capture of multiple packets. When CON = 1, continuous capture is enabled, the  
video port captures incoming data packets (assuming the VCEN bit is set) without the need for DSP  
interaction. It relies on a EDMA structure with circular buffering capability to service the capture FIFO.  
When CON = 0, continuous capture is disabled, the video port sets the frame capture complete bit  
(FRMC) in VCASTAT upon the capture of each packet. Once the capture complete bit is set, at most, one  
more frame can be received before capture operation is halted (as determined by the FRAME bit state).  
This prevents subsequent data from overwriting previous packets until the DSP has a chance to update  
EDMA pointers or process those packets.

3.8.6 Writing to the FIFO  
The captured TCI packet data and the associated time stamps are written into the receive FIFO. The  
packet data is written first, followed by the timestamp. The FIFO controller controls both data writes and  
timestamp writes into the FIFO. The FIFO data packing is shown in Figure 3-18.

the timestamp data and the packet data onto the FIFO write data bus. The timestamp and packet error  
information are inserted after each packet in the FIFO .The format for the timestamp is shown in  
Figure 3-19.

3.8.7 Reading from the FIFO  
The YSRCA location is associated with the TCI capture buffer. The YSRCA location is a read-only  
pseudo-register and is used to access the TCI data samples stored in the buffer.  
The captured data packet size is set by VCASTOP. The VCXSTOP and VCYSTOP bits set the 24-bits of  
TCI packet size (VCXSTOP sets the lower 12 bits and VCYSTOP sets the upper 12 bits). Capture is  
complete and the FRMC bit is set when the data counter equals the combined VCYSTOP and VCXSTOP  
value.

Capture Line Boundary Conditions  
The video port generates a YEVT after the specified number of new samples has been captured in the  
buffer. The number of samples required to generate YEVT is programmable and is set in the VCTHRLD1  
bits of VCATHRLD. VCTHRLD1 should be set to the packet size plus 8 bytes of timestamp. On every  
YEVT, the EDMA should move data from the buffer to the DSP memory. When moving data from the  
buffer to the DSP memory, the EDMA should use the memory address of the YSRCA location as a source  
address.  
3.9 Capture Line Boundary Conditions  
In order to simplify EDMA transfers, FIFO double words must not contain data from more than one capture  
line. This means that a FIFO write must be performed whenever 8 bytes have been received or when the  
line complete condition (HCOUNT = VCXSTOP) occurs. Thus, every captured line begins on a double  
word boundary and non-double word length lines are padded at the end. An example is shown in  
Figure 3-20.  
In Figure 3-20 (8-bit Y/C mode), the line length is not a double word. When the condition HCOUNT =  
VCXSTOP occurs, the FIFO location is written even though 8 bytes have not been received. The next  
capture line then begins in the next FIFO location at byte 0. This operation extends to all capture modes.  
In the case of TCI and raw data modes, there are no lines. In these modes, a final write at the end of the  
packet must be performed when the packet data count equals the 24-bit combined value of VCXCOUNT  
and VCYCOUNT.

3.10 Capturing Video in BT.656 or Y/C Mode  
In order to capture video in the BT.656 or Y/C format, the following steps are needed:  
1. To use the desired Video Port, program the Pin Mux register (PINMUX) appropriately to ensure that  
the multiplexed pins work as Video Port Pins. Refer to the device-specific data manual for details about  
PINMUX register.  
2. Program the VPx_CTL register appropriately to use the desired Video Port as a Capture Port.  
3. Set the PEREN bit in the video port peripheral control register (PCR).  
4. Set the last pixel to be captured in VCxSTOP1 and VCxSTOP2 (set the VCXSTOP and VCYSTOP  
bits).  
5. Set the first pixel to be captured in VCxSTRT1 and VCxSTRT2 (set the VCXSTART and VCYSTART  
bits).  
6. Write to VCxTHRLD to set the capture threshold. The threshold needs to be set in units of double  
word. One double word is equal to 8 bytes. Every time the number of received bytes reaches the

Capturing Video in Raw Data Mode  
number specified by the threshold fields (VCTHRLDx) in the threshold register, a YEVTx, CbEVTx, and  
CrEVTx are generated by the video capture module.  
7. Configure an EDMA channel to move data from YSRCx to a destination in the DSP memory. The  
channel transfers should be triggered by the YEVTx. The size of the transfers should be set  
appropriately during the configuration of the EDMA channel parameters. The EDMA must start on a  
double word boundary and move an even number of words.  
8. Configure a EDMA channel to move data from CBSRCx to a destination in the DSP memory. The  
channel transfers should be triggered by the CbEVTx. The size of the transfers should be set  
appropriately during the configuration of the EDMA channel parameters. The EDMA must start on a  
double word boundary and move an even number of words.  
9. Configure a EDMA channel to move data from CRSRCx to a destination in the DSP memory. The  
channel transfers should be triggered by the CrEVTx. The size of the transfers should be set  
appropriately during the configuration of the EDMA channel parameters. The EDMA must start on a  
double-word boundary and move an even number of words.  
10. Write to the video port interrupt enable register (VPIE) to enable overrun (COVRx) and capture  
complete (CCMPx) interrupts, if desired.  
11. Write to VCxCTL to:  
Set capture mode (CMODE = 0x0 for BT.656 input, 0x4 for Y/C input).  
Set desired field/frame operation (CON, FRAME, CF2, CF1 bits).  
Set sync and field ID control (VRST, HRST, FDD, FINV, VCTL1 bits).  
Enable scaling (SCALE and RESMPL bits), if desired and using 8-bit data.  
Set VCEN bit to enable capture.  
12. Capture is enabled at the start of the first frame after VCEN = 1 and begins at the start of the first  
selected field. EDMA events are generated as triggered by VCxTHRLDx. When a selected field has  
been captured (VCXPOS = VCXSTOP and VCYPOS = VCYSTOP), the F1C, F2C, or FRMC bits in  
VCxSTAT are set and cause the CCMPx bit in VPIS to be set. This generates a DSP interrupt, if the  
CCMPx bit is enabled in VPIE.  
13. If continuous capture is enabled, the video port begins capturing again at the start of the next selected  
field or frame. If noncontinuous field 1 and field 2 or frame capture is enabled, the next field or frame is  
captured, during which the DSP must clear the appropriate completion status bit or further capture is  
disabled. If single frame capture is enabled, capture is disabled until the DSP clears the FRMC bit.  
3.10.1 Handling FIFO Overrun in BT.656 or Y/C Mode  
In case of a FIFO overrun, the COVRx bit is set in VPIS. This condition initiates an interrupt to the DSP, if  
the overrun interrupt is enabled (setting the COVR bit in VPIE enables overrun interrupt).  
The overrun interrupt routine should set the BLKCAP bit in VCxCTL and it should reconfigure EDMA  
channel settings. The EDMA channel must be reconfigured for capture of the next frame since the current  
frame transfer failed. Setting the BLKCAP bit flushes the capture FIFO and blocks EDMA events for the  
channel. As long as the BLKCAP bit is set, the video capture channel ignores the incoming data with  
exception of SAV and EAV codes but the internal counters continue counting.  
The BLKCAP bit should be cleared to 0 in order to continue capture. Clearing the BLKCAP bit takes effect  
in the subsequent video field (EDMA events are still going to be blocked in the video field in which the  
BLKCAP bit is cleared.)  
3.11 Capturing Video in Raw Data Mode  
In order to capture video in the raw data mode, the following steps are needed:  
1. To use the desired Video Port, program the Pin Mux Register (PINMUX) appropriately to ensure that  
the multiplexed pins work as Video Port Pins. Refer to the device-specific data manual for details about  
PINMUX register.  
2. Program the VPx_CTL Register appropriately to use the desired Video Port as a Capture Port.  
3. Set the PEREN bit in the video port peripheral control register (PCR).  
4. Set VCxSTOP1 to specify size of an image to be captured (VCXSTOP sets the lower 12 bits and  
VCYSTOP sets the upper 12 bits of the captured image size in bytes).

Capturing Data in TCI Capture Mode  
5. Write to VCxTHRLD to set the capture threshold. The threshold needs to be set in units of double  
word. One double word is equal to 8 bytes. Every time the number of received bytes reaches the  
number specified by the threshold fields (VCTHRLDx) in the threshold register, a YEVTx is generated  
by the video capture module.  
6. Configure a EDMA channel to move data from YSRCx to a destination in the DSP memory. The  
channel transfers should be triggered by the YEVTx. The size of the transfers should be set  
appropriately during the configuration of the EDMA channel parameters. The EDMA must start on a  
double word boundary and move an even number of words.  
7. Write to the video port interrupt enable register (VPIE) to enable overrun (COVRx) and capture  
complete (CCMPx) interrupts, if desired.  
8. If raw data synchronization is desired, set the startup synchronization enable (SSE) bit in VCxSTRT1.  
9. Write to VCxCTL to:  
Set capture mode (CMODE = x1x for raw data mode).  
Choose capture operation (CON, FRAME bits).  
Set VCEN bit to enable capture.  
10. Capture starts when the ICAPEN signal is asserted and VCEN = 1. Data is captured on every  
VCLKINx rising edge when CAPENx is active. EDMA events (YEVTx) are generated as triggered by  
VCxTHRLD1. When a complete data block has been captured (DCOUNT = VCYSTOP and VCXSTOP  
combined value), the FRMC bit in VCxSTAT is set causing the CCMPx bit in VPIS to be set. This  
generates a DSP interrupt, if CCMPx is enabled in VPIE.  
11. If continuous capture is enabled, the video port begins capturing again on the next VCLKIN rising  
edge when CAPEN is valid. If noncontinuous capture is enabled, the next data block is captured during  
which the DSP must clear the FRMC bit or further capture is disabled. If single frame capture is  
enabled, capture is disabled until the DSP clears the FRMC bit (at which point, raw data sync must  
again be performed if enabled).  
3.11.1 Handling FIFO Overrun Condition in Raw Data Mode  
In case of a FIFO overrun, the COVRx bit is set in VPIS. This condition initiates an interrupt to the DSP, if  
the overrun interrupt is enabled (setting the COVRx bit in VPIE enables overrun interrupt).  
The overrun interrupt routine should set the BLKCAP bit in VCxCTL and it should reconfigure EDMA  
channel settings. The EDMA channel must be reconfigured for capture of the next frame since the current  
frame transfer failed. Setting the BLKCAP bit flushes the capture FIFO and blocks EDMA events for the  
channel. As long as the BLKCAP bit is set, the video capture channel ignores the incoming data but the  
internal data counter continues counting.  
The BLKCAP bit should be cleared to 0 in order to continue capture. Clearing the BLKCAP bit takes effect  
in the subsequent frame after a raw data sync period is detected on CAPENx. (EDMA events are still  
going to be blocked in the frame in which the BLKCAP bit is cleared.)  
3.12 Capturing Data in TCI Capture Mode  
In order to capture data in TCI capture mode, the following steps are needed:  
1. Set VCASTOP1 to specify size of a data packet to be captured (VCXSTOP sets the lower 12 bits and  
VCYSTOP sets the upper 12 bits of the data packet).  
2. Write to VCxTHRLD to set the capture threshold to the data packet size. Every time the number of  
received bytes reaches the number specified by the VCTHRLD1 bits, a YEVTx is generated by the  
video capture module.  
3. Configure an EDMA channel to move data from YSRCA to a destination in the DSP memory. The  
channel transfers should be triggered by the YEVT. The size of the transfers should be set to the data  
packet size + 8 bytes of timestamp information. The EDMA must start on a double-word boundary and  
move an even number of words.  
4. Write to TCICTL to:  
Set TCI capture mode (TCMODE = 0 for parallel data, 1 for serial data).  
Select counter mode (TCMODE).  
Enable error packet filtering (ERRFILT) if desired.

5. Write to TCISTCMPL, TCISTCMPM, TCISTMSKL, and TCISTMSKM if needed to initiate an interrupt,  
based on STC absolute time.  
6. Write to TCITICKS if an interrupt is desired every x cycles of STC.  
7. Write to VPCTL to select TCI capture operation (TCI = 1).  
8. Write to VPIE to enable overrun (COVRA) and capture complete (CCMPA) interrupts, if desired.  
9. Write to VCACTL to set capture mode (CMODE = 010).  
10. Set VCEN bit in VCACTL to enable capture.  
11. Capture begins on the first VCLKINA rising edge when CAPENA and PACSTRT are valid. A EDMA  
event is generated as triggered by VCATHRLD1. When the entire packet has been captured  
(DCOUNT = VCYSTOP and VCXSTOP combined value), the FRMC bit in VCASTAT is set causing the  
CCMPx bit in VPIS to be set. This generates a DSP interrupt, if CCMPx is enabled in VPIE.  
12. If continuous capture is enabled, the video port begins capturing again on the next VCLKIN rising  
edge when CAPEN and PACSTRT are valid. If noncontinuous capture is enabled, the next data packet  
is captured during which the DSP must clear the FRMC bit or further capture is disabled. If single  
frame capture is enabled, capture is disabled until the DSP clears the FRMC bit.  
3.12.1 Handling FIFO Overrun Condition in TCI Capture Mode  
In case of a FIFO overrun, the COVRx bit is set in VPIS. This condition initiates an interrupt to the DSP, if  
the overrun interrupt is enabled (setting the COVRx bit in VPIE enables overrun interrupt).  
The overrun interrupt routine should set the BLKCAP bit in VCxCTL and it should reconfigure EDMA  
channel settings. The EDMA channel must be reconfigured for capture of the next frame since the current  
frame transfer failed. Setting the BLKCAP bit flushes the capture FIFO and blocks EDMA events for the  
channel. As long as the BLKCAP bit is set, the video capture channel ignores the incoming data but the  
internal data counter continues counting.  
The BLKCAP bit should be cleared to 0 in order to continue capture. Clearing the BLKCAP bit takes effect  
on the next PACSTRT. (EDMA events are still going to be blocked in the TCI packet in which the BLKCAP  
bit is cleared.)

3.13.1 Video Capture Channel x Status Register (VCASTAT, VCBSTAT)  
The video capture channel x status register (VCASTAT, VCBSTAT) indicates the current status of the  
video capture channel.  
In BT.656 capture mode, the VCXPOS and VCYPOS bits indicate the HCOUNT and VCOUNT values,  
respectively, to track the coordinates of the most recently received pixel. The F1C, F2C, and FRMC bits  
indicate completion of fields or frames and may need to be cleared by the DSP for capture to continue,  
depending on the selected frame capture operation (see Section 3.4.1).  
In raw data and TCI modes, the VCXPOS and VCYPOS bits reflect the lower and upper 12 bits,  
respectively, of the 24-bit data counter that tracks the number of received data samples. The FRMC bit  
indicates when an entire data packet has been received and may need to be cleared by the DSP for  
capture to continue, depending on the selected frame operation (see Section 3.7.1 and Section 3.8.5).  
The video capture channel x status register (VCxSTAT) is shown in Figure 3-21 and described in  
Table 3-14.

3.13.3 Video Capture Channel x Field 1 Start Register (VCxSTRT1)  
The captured image is a subset of the incoming image. The video capture channel x field 1 start register  
(VCASTRT1, VCBSTRT1) defines the start of the field 1 captured image. Note that the size is defined  
relative to incoming data (before scaling).  
In BT.656 or Y/C modes, the horizontal (pixel) counter is reset (to 0) by the horizontal event (as selected  
by the HRST bit in VCxCTL) and the vertical (line) counter is reset (to 1) by the vertical event (as selected  
by the VRST bit in VCxCTL). Field 1 capture starts when HCOUNT = VCXSTART, VCOUNT =  
VCYSTART, and field 1 capture is enabled.  
In raw capture mode, the VCVBLNKP bits defines the minimum vertical blanking period. If CAPEN stays  
de-asserted longer than VCVBLNKP clocks, then a vertical blanking interval is considered to have  
occurred. If the SSE bit is set when the capture first begins (the VCEN bit is set in VCxCTL), the capture  
does not start until two intervals are counted. This allows the video port to synchronize its capture to the  
top of a frame when first started.  
In TCI capture mode, the capture starts when the CAPEN signal is asserted, the FRMC bit (in VCxSTAT)  
is cleared, and a SYNC byte is detected.  
The video capture channel x field 1 start register (VCxSTRT1) is shown in Figure 3-23 and described in  
Table 3-16.

The video capture channel x field 1 stop register (VCxSTOP1) defines the end of the field 1-captured  
image or the end of the raw data or TCI packet.  
In raw capture mode, the horizontal and vertical counters are combined into a single counter that keeps  
track of the total number of samples received.  
In TCI capture mode, the horizontal and vertical counters are combined into a single data counter that  
keeps track of the total number of bytes received. The capture starts when a SYNC byte is detected. The  
data counter counts bytes as they are received. The FRMC bit (in VCxSTAT) gets set each time a packet  
has been received.  
The video capture channel x field 1 stop register (VCxSTOP1) is shown in Figure 3-24 and described in  
Table 3-17.

3.13.5 Video Capture Channel x Field 2 Start Register (VCxSTRT2)  
The captured image is a subset of the incoming image. The video capture channel x field 2 start register  
(VCASTRT2, VCBSTRT2) defines the start of the field 2 captured image. (This allows different window  
alignment or size for each field.) Note that the size is defined relative to incoming data (before scaling).  
In BT.656 or Y/C modes, the horizontal (pixel) counter is reset by the horizontal event (as selected by the  
HRST bit in VCxCTL) and the vertical (line) counter is reset by the vertical event (as selected by the VRST  
bit in VCxCTL). Field 2 capture starts when HCOUNT = VCXSTART, VCOUNT = VCYSTART, and field 2  
capture is enabled.  
These registers are not used in raw data mode or TCI mode because their capture sizes are completely  
defined by the field 1 start and stop registers.  
The video capture channel x field 2 start register (VCxSTRT2) is shown in Figure 3-25 and described in  
Table 3-18.

Video Capture Registers  
3.13.7 Video Capture Channel x Vertical Interrupt Register (VCxVINT)  
The video capture channel x vertical interrupt register (VCAVINT, VCBVINT) controls the generation of  
vertical interrupts in each field.  
In BT.656 or Y/C mode, an interrupt can be generated upon completion of the specified line in a field (end  
of line when VCOUNT = VINTn). This allows the software to synchronize to the frame or field. The  
interrupt can be programmed to occur in one or both fields (or not at all) using the VIF1 and VIF2 bits. The  
VINTn bits also determine when the FSYNC bit in VCxSTAT is cleared. If FSCL2 is 0, then the FSYNC bit  
is cleared in field 1 when VCOUNT = VINT1; if FSCL2 is 1, then the FSYNC bit is cleared in field 2 when  
VCOUNT = VINT2.  
The video capture channel x vertical interrupt register (VCxVINT) is shown in Figure 3-27 and described in  
Table 3-20.

Video Capture Registers  
3.13.8 Video Capture Channel x Threshold Register (VCATHRLD, VCBTHRLD)  
The video capture channel x threshold register (VCATHRLD, VCBTHRLD) determines when EDMA  
requests are sent.  
The VCTHRLD1 bits determine when capture EDMA events are generated. Once the threshold is  
reached, generation of further EDMA events is disabled until service of the previous event(s) begins (the  
first FIFO read by the EDMA occurs).  
In BT.656 and Y/C modes, every two captured pixels represent 2 luma values in the Y FIFO and 2 chroma  
values (1 each in the Cb and Cr FIFOs). Depending on the data size each value may be a byte (8-bit  
BT.656 or Y/C) within the FIFOs. Therefore, the VCTHRLD1 double word number represents 8 pixels in  
8-bit modes. Since the Cb and Cr FIFO thresholds are represented by ½ VCTHRLD1, certain restrictions  
are placed on what VCTHRLD1 values are valid (see Section 2.3.3).  
In raw data mode, each data sample may occupy a byte (8-bit raw mode), 2bytes (16-bit raw mode),  
within the FIFO, depending on the data size. Therefore, the VCTHRLD1 double word number represents 8  
samples, 4 samples respectively.  
In TCI mode, VCTHRLD1 represents groups of 8 samples with each sample occupying a byte in the FIFO.  
The VCTHRLD2 bits behave identically to VCTHRLD1, but are used during field 2 capture. It is only used  
if the field 2 EDMA size needs to be different from the field 1 EDMA size for some reason (for example,  
different captured line lengths in field 1 and field 2). If VT2EN is not set, then the VCTHRLD1 value is  
used for both fields.  
Note that the VCTHRLDn applies to data being written into the FIFO. In the case of 8-bit BT.656 or Y/C  
modes, this means the output of any selected filter.  
The video capture channel x threshold register (VCxTHRLD) is shown in Figure 3-28 and described in  
Table 3-21.

3.13.9 Video Capture Channel x Event Count Register (VCxEVTCT)  
The video capture channel x event count register (VCxEVTCT) is programmed with the number of EDMA  
events to be generated for each capture field.  
An event counter tracks how many events have been generated and indicates which threshold value  
(VCTHRLD1 or VCTHRLD2 in VCxTHRLD) to use in event generation and in the outgoing data counter.  
Once the CAPEVTCTn number of events have been generated, the EDMA logic switches to the other  
threshold value. See Section 2.3.1.  
The video capture channel x event count register (VCxEVTCT) is shown in Figure 3-29 and described in  
Table 3-22.

3.13.12 TCI Clock Initialization LSB Register (TCICLKINITL)  
The transport stream interface clock initialization LSB register (TCICLKINITL) is used to initialize the  
hardware counter to synchronize with the system time clock. .  
On receiving the first packet containing a program clock reference (PCR) and the PCR extension value,  
the DSP writes the 32 least-significant bits (LSBs) of the PCR into TCICLKINITL. This initializes the  
counter to the system time clock. TCICLKINITL should also be updated by the DSP whenever a  
discontinuity in the PCR field is detected.  
To ensure synchronization and prevent false compare detection, the software should disable the system  
time clock interrupt (clear the STEN bit in TCICTL) prior to writing to TCICLKINITL. All bits of the system  
time counter are initialized whenever either TCICLKINITL or TCICLKINITM are written.  
The TCI clock initialization LSB register (TCICLKINITL) is shown in Figure 3-32 and described in

3.13.13 TCI Clock Initialization MSB Register (TCICLKINITM)  
The transport stream interface clock initialization MSB register (TCICLKINITM) is used to initialize the  
hardware counter to synchronize with the system time clock. .  
On receiving the first packet containing a program clock reference (PCR) header, the DSP writes the  
most-significant bit (MSB) of the PCR and the 9-bit PCR extension into TCICLKINITM. This initializes the  
counter to the system time clock. TCICLKINITM should also be updated by the DSP whenever a  
discontinuity in the PCR field is detected.  
To ensure synchronization and prevent false compare detection, the software should disable the system  
time clock interrupt (clear the STEN bit in TCICTL) prior to writing to TCICLKINITM. All bits of the system  
time counter are initialized whenever either TCICLKINITL or TCICLKINITM are written.

3.13.14 TCI System Time Clock LSB Register (TCISTCLKL)  
The transport stream interface system time clock LSB register (TCISTCLKL) contains the 32  
least-significant bits (LSBs) of the program clock reference (PCR). The system time clock value is  
obtained by reading TCISTCLKL and TCISTCLKM.  
TCISTCLKL represents the current value of the 32 LSBs of the base PCR that normally counts at a  
90-kHz rate. Since the system time clock counter continues to count, the DSP may need to read  
TCISTCLKL twice in a row to ensure an accurate value.  
The TCI system time clock LSB register (TCISTCLKL) is shown in Figure 3-34 and described in  
Table 3-27.

3.13.16 TCI System Time Clock Compare LSB Register (TCISTCMPL)  
The transport stream interface system time clock compare LSB register (TCISTCMPL) is used to generate  
an interrupt at some absolute time based on the STC. TCISTCMPL holds the 32 least-significant bits  
(LSBs) of the absolute time compare (ATC). Whenever the value in TCISTCMPL and TCISTCMPM match  
the unmasked bits of the time kept by the STC hardware counter and the STEN bit in TCICTL is set, the  
STC bit in VPIS is set. .  
To prevent inaccurate comparisons caused by changing register bits, the software should disable the  
system time clock interrupt (clear the STEN bit in TCICTL) prior to writing to TCISTCMPL.

3.13.20 TCI System Time Clock Ticks Interrupt Register (TCITICKS)  
The transport stream interface system time clock ticks interrupt register (TCITICKS) is used to generate  
an interrupt after a certain number of ticks of the 27-MHz system time clock. When the TICKCT value is  
set to X and the TCKEN bit in TCICTL is set, the TICK bit in VPIS is set every X + 1 STCLK cycles. Note  
that the tick interrupt counter and comparison logic function are separate from the PCR logic and always  
count STCLK cycles regardless of the value of the CTMODE bit in TCICTL.  
A write to TCITICKS resets the tick counter 0. Whenever the tick counter reaches the TICKCT value, the  
TICK bit in VPIS is set and the counter resets to 0.  
To prevent inaccurate comparisons caused by changing register bits, the software should disable the tick  
count interrupt (clear the TCKEN bit in TCICTL) prior to writing to TCITICKS.  
The TCI system time clock ticks interrupt register (TCITICKS) is shown in Figure 3-40 and described in

Video Capture FIFO Registers  
3.14 Video Capture FIFO Registers  
The capture FIFO mapping registers are listed in Table 3-34. These registers provide read access to the  
capture FIFOs. These pseudo-registers should be mapped into DSP memory space rather than  
configuration register space in order to provide high-speed access. See the device-specific datasheet for  
the memory address of these registers. The function of the video capture FIFO mapping registers is listed  
in Table 3-35.

In BT.656 or Y/C capture mode, three EDMAs move data from the Y, Cb, and Cr capture FIFOs to the  
DSP memory by using the memory-mapped YSRCx, CBSRCx, and CRSRCx registers. The EDMA  
transfers are triggered by the YEVT, CbEVT, and CrEVT events, respectively.  
In raw capture mode, one EDMA channel moves data from the Y capture FIFO to the DSP memory by  
using the memory-mapped YSRCx register. The EDMA transfers are triggered by a YEVT event.  
The video port packs receive data into 64-bit words in the FIFO and the EDMA should always move  
64-bit-wide data from YSRCx, CBSRCx, and CRSRCx to the memory.

4.1.1 Image Timing  
Display devices generate interlaced images by controlling the vertical retrace timing. The video display  
module emits a data stream used to generate a displayed image. An NTSC-compatible interlaced image  
with field and line information is shown in Figure 4-1. A progressive-scan image (SMPTE 296M  
compatible) is shown in Figure 4-2.  
The active video area represents the pixels visible on the display. The active video area begins after the  
horizontal and vertical blanking intervals. The image area output by the video display module can be a  
subset of the active area. The relationship between frame, active video area, and image area is presented  
in Figure 4-3 for interlaced video and in Figure 4-4 for progressive video. The video display module  
generates timing for frames, active video areas within frames, and images within the active video area.

4.1.2 Video Display Counters  
To generate the image timing, the video display module uses five counters:  
Frame line counter (FLCOUNT)  
Frame pixel counter (FPCOUNT)  
Image line counter (ILCOUNT)  
Image pixel counter (IPCOUNT)  
Video clock counter (VCCOUNT)  
The frame line counter (FLCOUNT) counts the total number of lines per frame including vertical blanking  
intervals. The frame pixel counter (FPCOUNT) counts the total number of pixels per line including  
horizontal blanking intervals. FLCOUNT begins counting at the start of the vertical blanking interval of the  
first field. FPCOUNT begins counting at the end of the horizontal blanking interval of each line. They are  
reset when they reach their stop values as specified in the video display frame size register (VDFRMSZ).  
The image line counter (ILCOUNT) and the image pixel counter (IPCOUNT) track the visible image within  
the field. ILCOUNT begins counting at the first display image line in each field. IPCOUNT begins counting  
at the first displayed image pixel on each line. They stop counting when they reach the image height and  
image width as specified in the video display field n image size register (VDIMGSZn).  
The video clock counter (VCCOUNT) counts VCLKIN transitions to determine when to increment  
FPCOUNT and IPCOUNT as determined by the video display mode. In Y/C mode, FPCOUNT and  
IPCOUNT increment on each VCLKIN rising edge. In BT.656 mode, FPCOUNT and IPCOUNT increment  
on every other VCLKIN rising edge. In raw mode, FPCOUNT and IPCOUNT increment on every 1 to 16  
VCLKIN cycles as programmed by the INCPIX bits in the video display threshold register (VDTHRLD).  
FPCOUNT and FLCOUNT are compared to various values to determine when to assert and negate  
various control signals. The 12-bit FPCOUNT is used to determine where to enable and disable horizontal  
sync and blanking information along each scan line. The state of FPCOUNT is reflected in the VDXPOS  
bits of the video display status register (VDSTAT).

The 12-bit FLCOUNT counts which scan line is being generated. The FLCOUNT is reset to 1 after  
reaching the count specified in VDFRMSZ. (For BT.656 operation, the FRMHIGHT would be set to 525  
(525/60 operation) or 625 (625/50 operation).) The state of FLCOUNT is reflected in the VDYPOS bits of  
VDSTAT. Figure 4-6 shows how the vertical blanking, vertical synchronization, and field identification  
signals are triggered. (VBLNK and VSYNC are shown active high.)  
Note that the signals can transition at any place along the video line (specified by the XSTART and  
XSTOP bits of the appropriate registers). In this case, VBLNK starts at horizontal count VBLNKXSTART2  
= 429 on scan line VBLNKYSTART2 = 263 (565/60 operation).

BT.656 Video Display Mode  
4.1.3 Sync Signal Generation  
The video display module must generate a number of control signals for both internal and external use. As  
seen in Section 4.1.2, the HSYNC, HBLNK, VSYNC, VBLNK, and FLD signals are generated directly from  
the pixel and line counters and comparison registers. Several additional signals are also generated  
indirectly for use in external control.  
A composite blank (CBLNK) signal is generated as the logical-OR of the HBLNK and VBLNK signals. A  
composite sync (CSYNC) signal is also generated as the logical-OR of the HSYNC and VSYNC signals.  
(This is not a true analog CSYNC, which must include serration pulses during VSYNC and equalization  
pulses during vertical front and back porch periods.) Finally, an active video (AVID) signal is generated.  
AVID is the inverted CBLNK signal indicating when active video data is being output.  
Up to three of the eight sync signals may be output on VCTL1, VCTL2, and VCTL3 as selected by the  
video display control register (VDCTL). Each signal may be output in its non-inverted or inverted form, as  
selected by the VCTnP bits in the video port control register (VPCTL).  
4.1.4 External Sync Operation  
The video display module may be synchronized with an external video source using external sync signals.  
VCTL1 may be configured as an external horizontal sync input. When the external HSYNC is asserted,  
FPCOUNT is loaded with the HRLD value and VCCOUNT is loaded with the CRLD value. VCTL2 may be  
configured as an external vertical sync input. When the external VSYNC is asserted during field 1,  
FLCOUNT is loaded with the VRLD value. Field determination is made using either VCTL3 as an external  
FLD input or by field detect logic using the VSYNC and HSYNC inputs.  
4.1.5 Port Sync Operation  
The video display module may be synchronized with the video display module of another video port on the  
device. This mode is provided to enable the output of 24-bit RGB data (for example, 8 bits of R and 8 bits  
of G on video port 0 operating in dual-channel synched 8-bit raw mode, and 8 bits of B on video port 1  
operating in 8-bit raw mode with VP1 synched to VP0.) The slave port must have the same VCLKIN and  
programmed register values as the master port. The master port provides the control signals necessary to  
reset the slave port counters so that they maintain synchronization. Each video port may only synchronize  
to the previous videoport(the one with a lower number). An example for a three port device is shown in  
Figure 4-7.

4.2 BT.656 Video Display Mode  
The BT.656 display mode outputs 8-bit 4:2:2 co-sited luma and chroma data multiplexed into a single data  
stream. Pixels are output in pairs with each pair consisting of two luma samples and two chroma samples.  
The chroma samples are associated with the first luma pixel of the pair. Output pixels are valid on the  
positive edge of VCLKOUT in the sequence CbYCrY as shown in Figure 4-8.

BT.656 Video Display Mode  
4.2.1 Display Timing Reference Codes  
The end active video (EAV) code and start active video (SAV) code are issued at the start of each video  
line. EAV and SAV codes have a fixed format. The format is shown in Table 3-2 . The EAV and SAV  
codes define the end and start of the horizontal-blanking interval, respectively, and they also indicate the  
current field number and the vertical blanking interval. The SAV and EAV codes have a 4-bit protection  
field to ensure valid codes. The video display module generates these protection bits as part of the SAV  
and EAV codes. Table 3-3 shows possible combinations of valid SAV and EAV codes with their protection  
bits. The video display pipeline generates SAV and EAV sync codes and inserts them into the output  
video stream according to the BT.656 specification.  
The BT.656 line timing is shown in Figure 4-9 and Figure 4-10. Each line begins with an EAV code, a  
blanking interval, an SAV code, followed by the line of active video. The EAV code indicates the end of  
active video for the previous line, and the SAV code indicates the start of active video for the current line.

BT.656 Video Display Mode  
SAV and EAV codes are identified by a 3-byte preamble of FFh, 00h, and 00h. This combination must be  
avoided in the video data output by the video port to prevent accidental generation of an invalid sync  
code. The video display module provides programmable maximum and minimum value clipping on the  
video data to prevent this possibility.  
The typical values for H, V, and F on different lines are shown in Table 4-2 and Figure 4-11.  
F and V are only allowed to change at EAV sequences. The EAV and SAV sequences must occupy the  
first four words and the last four words of the digital horizontal-blanking interval, respectively. The EAV  
code is inserted when FPCOUNT = HBLNKSTART. The SAV code is inserted when FPCOUNT =  
HBLNKSTOP.

BT.656 Video Display Mode  
4.2.2 Blanking Codes  
The time between the EAV and SAV code on each line represents the horizontal blanking interval. During  
this time, the video port outputs digital video blanking values. These values are 10.0h for luma (Y)  
samples and 80.0h for chroma (Cb/Cr) samples. These values are also output during the active line period  
of vertical blanking (between SAV and EAV when V = 1). In addition, if the DVEN bit in VDCTL is cleared  
to 0, the blanking values are output during the portion of active video lines that are not a part of the  
displayed image.  
4.2.3 BT.656 Image Display  
For BT.656 display mode, the FIFO buffer is divided into three sections. One FIFO is 2560-bytes deep and  
is used for the storage of Y output samples; the other two FIFOs are each 1280-bytes deep and are  
dedicated for storage of Cb and Cr samples. Each FIFO has a memory-mapped location associated with  
it; YDST, CBDST, and CRDST. The pseudo-registers are write-only and are used by EDMAs to fill the  
FIFOs with output data. The video display module multiplexes the data from the three FIFOs to generate  
the output CbYCrY data stream.  
If video display is enabled, the video display module uses the YEVT, CbEVT, and CrEVT events to notify  
the EDMA controller that data needs to be placed into the display FIFOs. The number of pixels required to  
generate the events is set by the threshold field bits in VDTHRLD register. The video display module  
generates the event signals when the display buffer holds less than the threshold number of pixels and the  
display event counter has not expired. On every YEVT, the EDMA should move data from DSP memory to  
the Y buffer, using the Y FIFO destination register (YDST) content as the destination address. On every  
CbEVT, the EDMA should move data from DSP memory to the Cb buffer, using the Cb FIFO destination  
register (CBDST) content as the destination address. On every CrEVT, the EDMA should move data from  
DSP memory to the Cr buffer, using the Cr FIFO destination register (CRDST) content as the destination  
address. The EDMA transfer size for the Y buffer is twice the size of the EDMA for the Cb or Cr buffers.  
4.2.4 BT.656 FIFO Unpacking  
Display data is always packed into the FIFOs in 64-bit words and must be unpacked before being sent to  
the video display data pipeline. By default, data is unpacked from right to left.  
The 8-bit BT.656 mode uses three FIFOs for color separation. Samples are unpacked from each word as  
shown in Figure 4-12.

Y/C Video Display Mode  
4.3 Y/C Video Display Mode  
The Y/C display mode is similar to the BT.656 display mode but outputs 8-bit data on separate luma and  
chroma data streams. One data stream contains Y samples and the other stream contains multiplexed Cb  
and Cr samples co-sited with every other luminance sample. The Y samples are read from the Y FIFO  
and the Cb and Cr samples are read from the Cb and Cr FIFOs and combined on the chroma output.  
The Y/C display mode can generate HDTV standard output such as BT.1120, SMPTE260, or SMPTE296  
with embedded EAV and SAV codes. It can also output separate control signals.  
Because 16 bits are used for data output, the Y/C output mode requires both halves of the video port data  
bus. If the DCHDIS bit in VPCTL is set, then Y/C mode cannot be selected.  
4.3.1 Y/C Display Timing Reference Codes  
The EAV and SAV embedded timing codes are identical to those output in BT.656 mode and timing is  
controlled in the same manner. In Y/C mode, however, the codes must be output on both the Y and C  
data streams (VDOUT[9-2] and VDOUT[19-12]). An example of BT.1120 line timing is shown in  
Figure 4-13.

4.3.2 Y/C Blanking Codes  
The time between the EAV and SAV code on each line represents the horizontal blanking interval. During  
this time, the video port outputs the digital video blanking values. These values are 10h for luma (Y)  
samples and 80h for chroma (Cb/Cr) samples. These values are also output during the active line period  
of vertical blanking (between SAV and EAV when V = 1), unless replaced by VBI data. In addition, if the  
DVEN bit in VDCTL is 0, the blanking values are output during the portion of active video lines that are not  
a part of the displayed image.  
4.3.3 Y/C Image Display  
Many of the standards supported by the Y/C display mode provide for both interlaced and progressive  
scan formats. For interlaced display, the display controls are programmed identically to BT.656 mode. For  
progressive scan formats, the frame size is programmed to the size of a single field and only field 1 is  
used.  
The Y/C display mode uses the same FIFO organization as the BT.656 display mode and generates  
EDMA events in the same manner.

4.4 Video Output Filtering  
The video output filter performs simple hardware scaling and re-sampling on outgoing 8-bit BT.656 or 8-bit  
Y/C data. Filtering hardware is disabled during raw data display modes.  
4.4.1 Output Filter Modes  
The output filter has four modes of operation: no-filtering, 2x scaling, chrominance re-sampling, and 2x  
scaling with chrominance re-sampling. Filter operation is determined by the DMODE, SCALE, and  
RESMPL bits of the VDCTL.  
Table 4-3 shows the output filter mode selection. When 8-bit BT.656 or Y/C display operation is selected,  
(DMODE = x00), scaling is selected by setting the SCALE bit and chrominance re-sampling is selected by  
setting the RESMPL bit. If 8-bit BT.656 or Y/C display is not selected (DMODE x00), filtering is disabled.

Video Output Filtering  
4.4.2 Chrominance Re-sampling Operation  
Chrominance re-sampling computes chrominance values at sample points corresponding to output  
luminance samples based on the input interspersed chrominance samples. This filter performs the  
conversion between interspersed YCbCr 4:2:2 format and co-sited YCbCr 4:2:2 format. The vertical  
portion of the conversion from YCbCr 4:2:0 to interspersed YCbCr 4:2:2 must be performed in software.  
The chrominance re-sampling filters calculate the implied value of Cb and Cr co-sited with luminance  
sample points based upon nearby interspersed Cb and Cr samples. The resulting values are clamped to  
between 01h and FEh before being output. Chrominance re-sampling is shown in Figure 4-15.

4.4.3 Scaling Operation  
The 2x -scaling mode is used to double the horizontal resolution of output luminance and chrominance  
data. This allows processed CIF resolution images to be output at full size. Vertical scaling must be  
performed in software. Scaling for co-sited source is shown in Figure 4-16 and scaling for interspersed  
source is shown in Figure 4-17.  
For a co-sited source, the source luminance pixels are output unchanged for every even pixel (a, b, c,  
etc., in Figure 4-16). Odd luminance pixels (a', b', c', etc.) are generated from neighboring source (even)  
pixels using a four tap filter. The chrominance source pixels are output unchanged for every other even  
pixel (a, c, e, etc.). Other even output pixel (b, d, f, etc.) chrominance values are generated from  
neighboring source chrominance pixels using a four tap filter.  
For an interspersed source, the luminance is output identically to the co-sited case. Chrominance output is  
generated using a four tap filter with one of two different coefficient sets depending on which source  
chrominance pixel the output pixel is closest.  
Note that because input scaling is limited to 2x, full BT.656 width output is not achieved from CIF source  
images. The horizontal location of the reduced image can be adjusted using HOFFSET.

4.4.4 Edge Pixel Replication  
Because four tap filters are used on the output, the first and last two pixels on each line must be mirrored.

4.5 Ancillary Data Display  
The following sections discuss ancillary data display. No special provisions are made for the display of  
horizontal ancillary (HANC) or vertical ancillary (VANC), also called vertical blanking interval (VBI), data.  
4.5.1 Horizontal Ancillary (HANC) Data Display  
HANC data can be displayed using the normal video display mechanism by programming IMGHSIZEn to  
occur prior to the SAV code. The HANC data including the ancillary data header must be part of the  
YCbCr separated data in the FIFOs. The VCTHRLD value and EDMA size must be programmed to  
comprehend the additional samples. You must disable scaling and chroma re-sampling when including the  
display of HANC data to prevent data corruption.  
4.5.2 Vertical Ancillary (VANC) Data Display  
VANC (or VBI) data is commonly used for such features as teletext and closed-captioning. No special  
provisions are made for the display of VBI data. VBI data may be displayed using the normal display  
mechanism by programming IMGVOFF to occur before the first line of active video on the first line of  
desired VBI data. Note that the VBI data must be YCbCr separated. You must disable scaling and chroma  
re-sampling when the display of VBI data is desired or the data will be corrupted by the filters.  
4.6 Raw Data Display Mode  
The raw data display modes are intended to output data to a RAMDAC or other D/A-type device. This is  
typically RGB formatted data. No timing information is inserted into the output data stream; instead,  
selectable control signals are output to indicate timing. Raw data display includes a synchronized dual  
channel option. This allows channel B to output a separate data stream using the same clock and control  
as channel A. This mode is useful when used with a second video port in systems that require 24-bit RGB  
output.  
The raw data mode uses a single FIFO of 5120 bytes for storage of output data. The FIFO is filled by  
EDMAs writing to the Y FIFO destination register A (YDSTA). EDMAs are requested using the YEVTA  
event. In raw sync mode (RSYNC bit is set), the FIFO is split into 2560-byte channel A and B buffers. The  
channel B FIFO is filled by EDMAs using the Y FIFO destination register B (YDSTB) as a destination.  
Both YEVTA and YEVTB events are generated using the channel A timing control.

Raw Data Display Mode  
4.6.1 Raw Mode RGB Output Support  
The raw data display mode has a special pixel count feature that allows the FPCOUNT increment rate to  
be set. FPCOUNT increments only when INCPIX samples have been sent out. This option allows proper  
tracking of the display pixels when sending out sequential RGB samples. (INCPIX would be set to three in  
this case, to indicate that a single pixel is represented by three output samples.)  
Sequential RGB samples output are also supported through a special FIFO unpacking mode. When the  
8-bit raw 3/4 unpacking is selected (RGBX bit in VDCTL), three output bytes are selected from each word  
and the fourth byte is ignored. This allows the video port to correctly output data formatted as 24-bit RGB  
(or RGBα) words in memory.  
4.6.2 Raw Data FIFO Unpacking  
Display data is always packed into the FIFOs in 64-bit words and must be unpacked before being sent to  
the display data pipeline. By default, data is unpacked from right to left .  
The 8-bit raw mode uses a single data FIFO. Samples are unpacked as shown in Figure 4-21.

Video Display Field and Frame Operation  
4.7 Video Display Field and Frame Operation  
As a video source, the video port always outputs entire frames of data and transmits continuous video  
control signals. Depending on the EDMA structure, however, the video port may need to interrupt the DSP  
on a field or frame basis to allow it to update video port registers or EDMA parameters. To achieve this,  
the video port provides programmable control over the display process.  
4.7.1 Display Determination and Notification  
In order to accommodate various display scenarios, EDMA structures, and processing flows, the video  
port employs a flexible display and DSP notification system. This is programmed using the CON, FRAME,  
DF1, and DF2 bits in VDCTL.  
The CON bit controls the display of multiple fields or frames. When CON = 1, continuous display is  
enabled, the video port displays outgoing fields (assuming the VDEN bit is set) without the need for DSP  
interaction. It relies on a single display buffer in memory or on a EDMA structure with circular buffering  
capability to service the display FIFOs. When CON = 0, continuous display is disabled, the video port sets  
a field or frame display complete bit (F1D, F2D, or FRMD) in VDSTAT upon the display of each field as  
determined by the state of the other display control bits (FRAME, CD1, and CD2). Once the display  
complete bit is set, the processor must update the appropriate EDMA parameters within the allotted time  
frame or a subsequent field or frame may output invalid data. In this case, the video port continues to  
generate EDMA requests but it issues a DCNA (display complete not acknowledged) interrupt to indicate  
that the EDMA parameters may not have been updated and bad data is being sent to the video port.  
When a field or frame has not been enabled for display, no EDMA events are sent for that field or frame.  
The video port still generates all timings for the field but outputs the default data values rather than data  
from the display FIFO during the display image window.  
The CON, FRAME, DF1, and DF2 bits encode the display operations as listed in Table 4-4.

to continuous field 1 display mode except the FRMD bit is used instead of the  
F1D bit.) If external control signals are used, they must follow progressive  
format.

4.7.2 Video Display Event Generation  
The display FIFOs are filled using EDMAs as requested by the video port EDMA events. The VDTHRLD  
value indicates the level at which the FIFO has enough room to receive another EDMA block of data.  
Depending on the size of the EDMA, the FIFO may have room for multiple transfers before reaching the  
VDTHRLD level. Once the threshold is reached, another EDMA event is generated as soon as the FIFO  
again falls below the VDTHRLD level.  
Once an entire field worth of data has been sent to the FIFO, the video port may need to stop generating  
events in order to allow the DSP to change EDMA. Since display may not yet be complete (the FIFO  
continues to empty after falling below VDTHRLD), a display event counter (DEVTCT) is provided to track  
the number of requested YEVT events. The counter is loaded with the number of events needed in a  
display field (DISPEVT1 or DISPEVT2) and is decremented each time the event is requested. Once the  
counter reaches 0, further display events are inhibited. At the start of the next field, DEVTCT is reloaded  
and display events are reenabled.  
4.8 Display Line Boundary Conditions  
In order to simplify EDMA transfers, FIFO double words do not contain data from more than one display  
line. This means that a FIFO read must be performed whenever 8-bytes have been output or when the  
line complete condition (IPCOUNT = IMGHSIZE) occurs. Thus, every display line begins on a double word  
boundary and non-double word length lines are truncated at the end. An example is shown in Figure 4-24.  
In Figure 4-24 (8-bit Y/C mode), the line length is not a double word. When the condition IPCOUNT =  
IMGHSIZE occurs, the remaining bytes of the FIFO double word are ignored and the output switches to  
the default output value (or the EAV code followed by blanking, if the end of the active video line has been  
reached). The next display line then begins in the next FIFO location at byte 0. This operation extends to  
all display modes.

4.9 Display Timing Examples  
The following are examples of display output for several modes of operation.  
4.9.1 Interlaced BT.656 Timing Example  
This section shows an example of BT.656 display output for a 704 x 408 interlaced output image as might  
be generated by MPEG decoding.  
The horizontal output timing is shown in Figure 4-25. This diagram assumes that there is a two VCLK  
pipeline delay between the internal counter changing and the output on external pins. The actual delay  
can be longer or shorter as long as it is consistent within any display mode. The BT.656 active line is  
720-pixels wide. Figure 4-25 shows the 704-pixel image window centered in the screen that results in an  
IMGHOFFx of 8 pixels.  
The HBLNK and HSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active-low operation. Note that  
only one of the two signals is actually available externally. The HBLNK inactive edge occurs either on  
sample 856 coincident with the start of SAV or on sample 0 (after SAV) if the HBDLA bit is set. For true  
BT.656 operation, neither HBLNK nor HSYNC would be used.  
The IPCOUNT operation follows the description in Section 4.1.2. IPCOUNT resets to 0 at the first  
displayed pixel (FPCOUNT = IMGHOFFx) and stops counting at the last displayed pixel (IPCOUNT =  
IMGHSIZEx). The operation during non-display time is not a requirement, it could continue counting until  
the next FPCOUNT = IMGHOFFx point or it could reset immediately after IMGHSIZEx or when FPCOUNT  
is reset.  
VDOUT shows the output data and switching between EAV, Blanking Data, SAV, Default Data, and FIFO  
Data. It is assumed that the DVEN bit in VDCTL is set to enable the default output.

Display Timing Examples  
The interlaced BT.656 vertical output timing is shown in Figure 4-26. The BT.656 active field 1 is 244-lines  
high and active field 2 is 243-lines high. This example shows the 480-line image window centered in the  
screen. This results in an IMGVOFFn of 3 lines and also results in a non-data line at the end of field 1 due  
to its extra active line.  
The VBLNK and VSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active-low operation. Note that  
only one of the two signals is actually available externally. The VBLNK and VSYNC edges for field 1 occur  
at the end of an active line so their XSTART/XSTOP values are set to 720 (start of blanking). For field 2,  
VBLNK and VSYNC edges occur during the middle of the active horizontal line so their XSTART/XSTOP  
values are set to 360. Note that, from an analog standpoint, vertical blanking begins a half-line before  
digital blanking so that VBLNKYSTART2 is set to 263 (with VBLNKXSTART2 set to 360) while VBITSET2  
is programmed to 264. For true BT.656 operation, neither VBLNK nor VSYNC would be used.  
The FLD output is setup to transition at the start of each analog field (start of vertical blanking). Since  
EAV[F] transitions on lines 4 and 266, this requires programming FBITCLR to 4, FBITSET to 266,  
FLD1YSTART to 1, and FLD2YSTART to 263. Note that FLD2XSTRT is 360 so that the field indicator  
output changes halfway through the line.  
The ILCOUNT operation follows the description in Section 4.1.2. ILCOUNT resets to 1 at the first  
displayed line (FLCOUNT = VBLNKSTOPx + IMGVOFFx) and stops counting at the last displayed pixel  
(IPCOUNT = IMGVSIZEx). The operation during non-display time is not a requirement, it could continue  
counting until the next FLCOUNT = VBLNKSTOPx + IMGVOFFx point or it could reset immediately after  
IMGVSIZEx or when FLCOUNT is reset.  
The active horizontal output column shows the output data during the active portion of the horizontal line.  
It is assumed that the DVEN bit in VDCTL is set to enable the default output.

4.9.2 Interlaced Raw Display Example  
This section shows an example of raw display output for the same 704 x 408 interlaced image.  
The horizontal output timing is shown in Figure 4-27. This diagram assumes that there is a two VCLK  
pipeline delay between the internal counter changing and the output on external pins. The actual delay  
can be longer or shorter as long as it is consistent within any display mode. The active line is 720-pixels  
wide. Figure 4-27 shows the 704-pixel image window centered in the screen that results in an IMGHOFFx  
of 8 pixels.  
The HBLNK and HSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active-low operation. Note that  
only one of the two signals is actually available externally. The HBLNK inactive edge occurs on sample 0.  
The IPCOUNT operation follows the description in Section 4.1.2. IPCOUNT resets to 0 at the first  
displayed pixel (FPCOUNT = IMGHOFFx) and stops counting at the last displayed pixel (IPCOUNT =  
IMGHSIZEx). Both the IPCOUNT and FPCOUNT counters increment on every third VCLKIN rising edge,  
as programmed by the INCPIX bits in VDTHRLD with a value of 3.  
VDOUT shows the output data and switching between Default Data, and FIFO Data. Three values are  
output sequentially on VDOUT for each pixel count. Note that the default value is output during both the  
blanking and non-display image active video regions.

Display Timing Examples  
The vertical output timing for raw mode is shown in Figure 4-28. This example outputs the same 480-line  
window. Note that the raw display mode is typically noninterlaced for output to a monitor. This example  
shows the more complex interlaced case. The active field 1 is 242.5-lines high and active field 2 is  
242.5-lines high. This example shows the 480-line image window centered in the screen. This results in  
an IMGVOFF1 of 2 lines and an IMGVOFF2 of 3 lines and also results in a non-data half-line at the end of  
field 1 and at the beginning of field 2 due to their non-integer line lengths.  
The VBLNK and VSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active-low operation. Note that  
only one of the two signals is actually available externally. The VBLNK and VSYNC edges for field 1 occur  
at the end of an active line so their XSTART/XSTOP values are set to 720 (start of blanking). For field 2,  
VBLNK and VSYNC edges occur during the middle of the active horizontal line so their XSTART/XSTOP  
values are set to 360.  
The FLD output is setup to transition at the start of each analog field (start of vertical blanking). There is  
no EAV[F] bit in raw mode, so FLD1YSTRT is set to 1, FLD2YSTART is set to 263, FBITCLR and  
FBITSET are ignored. Note that FLD2XSTRT is 360 so that the field indicator output changes halfway  
through the line.  
The active horizontal output column shows the output data during the active portion of the horizontal line.  
Note that in raw mode there is no blanking data value so the default value is output for the active portion  
of all non-image window lines.

Display Timing Examples  
4.9.3 Y/C Progressive Display Example  
This section shows an example of progressive display operation. The output format follows SMPTE  
296M-2001 specifications for a 1280 x 720/60 system. The example is for a 1264 x 716 progressive output  
image.  
The horizontal output timing is shown in Figure 4-29. This diagram assumes that there is a two VCLK  
pipeline delay between the internal counter changing and the output on external pins. The actual delay  
can be longer or shorter as long as it is consistent within any display mode. The SMPTE 296M 60-Hz  
active line is 1650-pixels wide. Figure 4-29 shows the 1264-pixel image window centered in the screen  
that results in an IMGHOFFx of 8 pixels.  
The HBLNK and HSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active-low operation. Note that  
only one of the two signals is actually available externally. The HBLNK inactive edge occurs either on  
sample 1646 coincident with the start of SAV or on sample 0 (after SAV) if the HBDLA bit is set. For true  
SMPTE 296M operation, neither HBLNK nor HSYNC would be used.  
The IPCOUNT operation follows the description in Section 4.1.2. IPCOUNT resets to 0 at the first  
displayed pixel (FPCOUNT = IMGHOFFx) and stops counting at the last displayed pixel (IPCOUNT =  
IMGHSIZEx). The operation during non-display time is not a requirement, it could continue counting until  
the next FPCOUNT = IMGHOFFx point or it could reset immediately after IMGHSIZEx or when FPCOUNT  
is reset.  
VDOUT shows the output data and switching between EAV, Blanking Data, SAV, Default Data, and FIFO  
Data. It is assumed that the DVEN bit in VDCTL is set to enable the default output.

Display Timing Examples  
The vertical output timing is shown in Figure 4-30. SMPTE 296M has a single active field 1 that is  
720-lines high. This example shows the 716-line image window with an IMGVOFFn of 3 lines and also  
results in a non-data line at the end of the field.  
The VBLNK and VSYNC signals are shown as they would be output for active-low operation. Note that  
only one of the two signals is actually available externally. The VBLNK and VSYNC edges occur at the  
end of an active line so their XSTART/XSTOP values are set to 1280 (start of blanking). The field 2  
vertical timing start and stop registers are programmed to a value greater than 750. Since this value is  
never reached by FLCOUNT, no extra VBLNK or VSYNC transitions occur. For true SMPTE 296M  
operation, neither VBLNK nor VSYNC would be used.  
The FLD output is setup to transition low at the start of each frame. Since the FLD2YSTART value is  
never reached by FLCOUNT, the FLD output remains always low.  
The ILCOUNT operation follows the description in Section 4.1.2. ILCOUNT resets to 1 at the first  
displayed line (FLCOUNT = VBLNKSTOPx + IMGVOFFn) and stops counting at the last displayed pixel  
(IPCOUNT = IMGVSIZEx). The operation during non-display time is not a requirement, it could continue  
counting until the next FLCOUNT = VBLNKSTOPx + IMGVOFFn point or it could reset immediately after  
IMGVSIZEx or when FLCOUNT is reset.  
The active horizontal output column shows the output data during the active portion of the horizontal line.  
It is assumed that the DVEN bit in VDCTL is set to enable the default output.

22. Wait for 2 or more frame times, to allow the display counters and control signals to become properly  
synchronized.  
23. Write to VDCTL to clear the BLKDIS bit.  
24. Display is enabled at the start of the first frame after BLKDIS = 0 and begins with the first selected  
field. EDMA events are generated as triggered by VDTHRLD and the DEVTCT counter. When a  
selected field has been displayed (FLCOUNT = FRMHEIGHT and FPCOUNT = FRMWIDTH), the  
appropriate F1D, F2D, or FRMD bits are set and cause the DCMP bit in VPIS to be set. This generates  
a DSP interrupt, if the DCMP bit is enabled in VPIE.  
25. If continuous display is enabled, the video port begins displaying again at the start of the next field or  
frame. If noncontinuous field 1 and field 2 or frame display is enabled, the next field or frame is  
displayed, during which the DSP must clear the appropriate completion status bit or a DCNA interrupt  
occurs and incorrect data may be output.  
4.11 Displaying Video in Raw Data Mode  
In order to display video in the raw data mode, the following steps are needed:  
1. To use the desired Video Port, program the Pin Mux Register (PINMUX) appropriately to ensure that

25. Set the video display field 1 timing. Specify the first line and pixel of field 1 in VDFLDT1.  
26. Display is enabled at the start of the first frame after BLKDIS = 0 and begins with the first selected  
field. EDMA events are generated as triggered by VDTHRLD and the DEVTCT counter. When a  
selected field has been displayed (FLCOUNT = FRMHEIGHT and FPCOUNT = FRMWIDTH), the  
appropriate F1D, F2D, or FRMD bits are set and cause the DCMP bit in VPIS to be set. This generates  
a DSP interrupt, if the DCMP bit is enabled in VPIE.  
27. If continuous display is enabled, the video port begins displaying again at the start of the next field or  
frame. If noncontinuous field 1 and field 2 or frame display is enabled, the next field or frame is  
displayed, during which the DSP must clear the appropriate completion status bit or a DCNA interrupt  
occurs and incorrect data may be output.  
4.11.1 Handling Under-run Condition of the Display FIFO  
A FIFO under-run occurs when the display FIFO is empty during an active display line because a pending  
EDMA request failed to load the data in time. In case of a FIFO under-run condition, the DUND bit in VPIS  
is set. This condition initiates an interrupt to the DSP, if the under-run interrupt is enabled (the DUND bit in  
VPIE is set).  
Because video display is typically a continuous real-time output, data output is not halted when a FIFO  
under-run occurs. (To output a blanking of default value is just as catastrophic to a display as outputting  
an old data value.) Instead, the FIFO read pointer continues to advance and (old) data continues to be  
output from the FIFO. This means that if the pending EDMA is only slightly late, the data transfer has a  
chance to catch the FIFO back up to the read pointer and correct data output resumes. If the pending  
EDMA does not complete service within a threshold's worth of output data, then the EDMA request  
sequence is broken and the remainder of the display field is corrupted.  
The under-run interrupt routine should set the BLKDIS bit in VDCTL and it should reconfigure the EDMA  
channel settings. Setting the BLKDIS bit flushes the channel display FIFO and prevents channel EDMA  
events from reaching the EDMA controller. The EDMA must be reconfigured correctly for the next frame  
display since the current frame transfer failed. The frame line and frame pixel counters continue counting  
and, from a pin standpoint, the video display module appears to continue to function normally (SAV/EAV  
codes are generated in the BT.656 or Y/C mode and the default data value is sent out). The BLKDIS bit  
should then be cleared to reenable EDMA events. Clearing the BLKDIS bit does not enable EDMA events  
during the frame where the bit is cleared. Clearing this bit to zero enables EDMA events in the frame that  
follows the frame where the bit is cleared.

4.12.1 Video Display Status Register (VDSTAT)  
The video display status register (VDSTAT) indicates the current display status of the video port.  
The VDXPOS and VDYPOS bits track the coordinates of the most-recently displayed pixel. The F1D, F2D,  
and FRMD bits indicate the completion of fields or frames and may need to be cleared by the DSP to  
prevent a DCNA interrupt from being generated, depending on the selected frame operation. The F1D,  
F2D, and FRMD bits are set when the final pixel from the appropriate field has been sent to the output  
pad.  
The video display status register (VDSTAT) is shown in Figure 4-31 and described in Table 4-6.

BLKDIS  
OF(value)  
Block display events bit. BLKDIS functions as a display FIFO reset without affecting  
the current programmable register values.  
The video display module continues to function normally, the counters count, control  
outputs are generated, EAV/SAV codes are generated for BT.656 and Y/C modes,  
and default or blanking data is output during active display time. No data is moved to  
the display FIFOs because no events occur. The F1D, F2D, and FRMD bits in  
VDSTAT are still set when fields or frames are complete.  
CLEAR  
0
Clearing BLKDIS does not enable EDMA events during the field in which the bit is  
cleared. EDMA events are enabled at the start of the next frame after the one in  
which the bit is cleared. This allows the EDMA to always be synced to the proper  
field.

4.12.3 Video Display Frame Size Register (VDFRMSZ)  
The video display frame size register (VDFRMSZ) sets the display channel frame size by setting the  
ending values for the frame line counter (FLCOUNT) and the frame pixel counter (FPCOUNT).  
The FPCOUNT starts at 0 and counts to FRMWIDTH - 1 before restarting. The FLCOUNT starts at 1 and  
counts to FRMHEIGHT before restarting.  
The video display frame size register (VDFRMSZ) is shown in Figure 4-33 and described in Table 4-8.

4.12.4 Video Display Horizontal Blanking Register (VDHBLNK)  
The video display horizontal blanking register (VDHBLNK) controls the display horizontal blanking.  
Every time the frame pixel counter (FPCOUNT) is equal to HBLNKSTART, HBLNK is asserted.  
HBLNKSTART also determines where the EAV code is inserted in the BT.656 and Y/C output.  
Every time FPCOUNT = HBLNKSTOP, the HBLNK signal is de-asserted (this is shown in Figure 4-5). In  
BT.656 and Y/C modes, HBLNKSTOP determines the SAV code insertion point and HBLNK de-assertion  
point. The HBLNK inactive edge may optionally be delayed by 4 pixel clocks using the HBDLA bit.  
The video display horizontal blanking register (VDHBLNK) is shown in Figure 4-34 and described in  
Table 4-9

VBLNKYSTART1 and the frame pixel counter (FPCOUNT) is equal to VBLNKXSTART1 (this is shown in  
Figure 4-6).  
In BT.656 and Y/C mode, VBLNK is asserted whenever FLCOUNT = VBLNKYSTART1 and FPCOUNT =  
VBLNKXSTART1. This VBLNK output control is completely independent of the timing control codes. The  
V bit in the EAV/SAV codes for field 1 is controlled by the VDVBIT1 register.  
The video display field 1 vertical blanking start register (VDVBLKS1) controls the start of vertical blanking  
in field 1.  
The video display field 1 vertical blanking start register (VDVBLKS1) is shown in Figure 4-35 and

The video display field 1 image offset register (VDIMGOFF1) defines the field 1 image offset and specifies  
the starting location of the displayed image relative to the start of the active display.  
The image line counter (ILCOUNT) is reset to 1 on the first image line (when FLCOUNT =  
VBLNKYSTOP1 + IMGVOFF1). If the NV bit is set, ILCOUNT is reset to 1 when FLCOUNT =  
VBLNKYSTOP1 - IMGVOFF1. Display image pixels are output in field 1 beginning on the line where  
ILCOUNT = 1. The default output values or blanking values are output during active lines prior to  
ILCOUNT = 1. For a negative offset, IMGVOFF1 must not be greater than VBLNKYSTOP1. The field 1  
active image must not overlap the field 2 active image.  
The image pixel counter (IPCOUNT) is reset to 0 at the start of an active line image. Once ILCOUNT = 1,  
image pixels from the FIFO are output on each line in field 1 beginning when FPCOUNT = IMGHOFF1. If  
the NH bit is set, IPCOUNT is reset when FPCOUNT = FRMWIDTH - IMGHOFF1. The default output  
values or blanking values are output during active pixels prior to IMGHOFF1.  
The video display field 1 image offset register (VDIMGOFF1) is shown in Figure 4-39 and described in  
Table 4-14.

4.12.15 Video Display Threshold Register (VDTHRLD)  
The video display threshold register (VDTHRLD) sets the display FIFO threshold to determine when to  
load more display data.  
The VDTHRLDn bits determines how much space must be available in the display FIFOs before the  
appropriate EDMA event may be generated. The Y FIFO uses the VDTHRLDn value directly while the Cb  
and Cr values use ½ the VDTHRLDn value rounded up to the next double word (½ (VDTHRLDn +  
VTHRLDn mod 2). The EDMA transfer size must be less than the value used for each FIFO. Typically,  
VDTHRLDn is set to the horizontal line length rounded up to the next double word boundary. For non-line  
length thresholds, the display data unpacking mechanism places certain restrictions of what VDTHRLDn  
values are valid (see Section 2.3.3).  
The VDTHRLD2 bits behaves identically to VDTHRLD1, but are used during field 2 capture. It is used only  
if the field 2 EDMA size needs to be different from the field 1 EDMA size for some reason (for example,  
different display line lengths in field 1 and field 2).  
In raw display mode, the INCPIX bits determine when the frame pixel counter (FPCOUNT) is incremented  
. If, for example, each output value represents the R, G, or B portion of a display pixel, then the INCPIX  
bits are set to 3h so that the pixel counter is incremented only on every third output clock. An INCPIX  
value of 0h represents a count of 16 rather than 0.  
The video display threshold register (VDTHRLD) is shown in Figure 4-45 and described in Table 4-20.

4.12.23 Video Display Clipping Register (VDCLIP)  
The video display module in the BT.656 and Y/C modes performs programmable clipping. The clipping is  
performed as the last step of the video pipeline. It is applied only on the image areas defined by  
VDIMGSZn and VDIMGOFFn inside the active video area (blanking values are not clipped).  
VDCLIP allows output values to be clamped within the specified values. The default values are the  
BT.601-specified peak black level of 16 and peak white level of 235 for luma and the maximum  
quantization levels of 16 and 240 for chroma. For 10-bit operation, the clipping is applied to the 8 MSBs of  
the value with the 2 LSBs cleared. (For example, a Y value of FF.8h is clipped to EB.0h and a Y value of  
0F.4h is clipped to 10.0h.)  
The video display clipping register (VDCLIP) is shown in Figure 4-53 and described in Table 4-28.

4.12.24 Video Display Default Display Value Register (VDDEFVAL)  
The video display default display value register (VDDEFVAL) defines the default value to be output during  
the portion of the active video window that is not part of the displayed image.  
The default value is output during the non-image display window portions of the active video. This is the  
region between ILCOUNT = 0 and ILCOUNT = IMGVOFFn vertically, and between IPCOUNT = 0 and  
IPCOUNT = IMGHOFFn horizontally. In BT.656 mode, CBDEFVAL, YDEFVAL, and CRDEFVAL are  
multiplexed on the output in the standard CbYCrY manner. In Y/C mode, YDEFVAL is output on the  
VDOUT[9-2] bus and CBDEFVAL and CRDEFVAL are multiplexed on the VDOUT[19-12] bus. In all  
cases, the default values are output on the 8 MSBs of the bus ([9-2] or [19-12]) and the 2 LSBs ([1-0] or  
[11-10]) are driven as 0s.  
In raw data mode, the least significant 8, 10, 16, or 20 bits of DEFVAL are output depending on the bus  
width. The default value is also output during the horizontal and vertical blanking periods in raw data  
mode.  
The default value is also output during the entire active video region when the BLKDIS bit in VDCTL is set  
and the FIFO is empty.  
The video display default display value register (VDDEFVAL) is shown in Figure 4-54 for the BT.656 and  
Y/C modes and in Figure 4-55 for the raw data mode, and described in Table 4-29.

4.12.25 Video Display Vertical Interrupt Register (VDVINT)  
The video display vertical interrupt register (VDVINT) controls the generation of vertical interrupts in field 1  
and field 2.  
An interrupt can be generated upon completion of the specified line in a field (when FLCOUNT = VINTn).  
This allows the software to synchronize itself to the frame or field. The interrupt can be programmed to  
occur in one, both, or no fields using the VIF1 and VIF2 bits.  
The video display field bit register (VDVINT) is shown in Figure 4-56 and described in Table 4-30.

4.12.26 Video Display Field Bit Register (VDFBIT)  
The video display field bit register (VDFBIT) controls the F bit value in the EAV and SAV timing control  
codes.  
The FBITCLR and FBITSET bits control the F bit value in the EAV and SAV timing control codes. The F  
bit is cleared to 0 (indicating field 1 display) in the EAV code at the beginning of the line whenever the  
frame line counter (FLCOUNT) is equal to FBITCLR. It remains a 0 for all subsequent EAV/SAV codes  
until the EAV at the beginning of the line when FLCOUNT = FBITSET where it changes to 1 (indicating  
field 2 display). The F bit operation is completely independent of the FLD control signal.  
For interlaced operation, FBITCLR and FBITSET are typically programmed such that the F bit changes  
coincidently with or some time after the V bit transitions from 1 to 0 (as determined by VBITCLR1 and  
VBITCLR2 in VDVBITn). For progressive scan operation no field 2 output occurs, so FBITSET should be  
programmed to a value greater than FRMHEIGHT so that the condition FLCOUNT = FBITSET never  
occurs and the F bit is always 0.  
The video display field bit register (VDFBIT) is shown in Figure 4-57 and described in Table 4-31.

4.12.27 Video Display Field 1 Vertical Blanking Bit Register (VDVBIT1)  
The video display field 1 vertical blanking bit register (VDVBIT1) controls the V bit value in the EAV and  
SAV timing control codes for field 1.  
The VBITSET1 and VBITCLR1 bits control the V bit value in the EAV and SAV timing control codes. The  
V bit is set to 1 (indicating the start of field 1 digital vertical blanking) in the EAV code at the beginning of  
the line whenever the frame line counter (FLCOUNT) is equal to VBITSET1. It remains a 1 for all  
EAV/SAV codes until the EAV at the beginning of the line on when FLCOUNT = VBITCLR1 where it  
changes to 0 (indicating the start of the field 1 digital active display). The V bit operation is completely  
independent of the VBLNK control signal.  
The VBITSET1 and VBITCLR1 bits should be programmed so that FLCOUNT becomes set to 1 during  
field 1 vertical blanking. The hardware only starts generating field 1 EDMA events when FLCOUNT = 1.  
The video display field 1 vertical blanking bit register (VDVBIT1) is shown in Figure 4-58 and described in  
Table 4-32.

4.12.28 Video Display Field 2 Vertical Blanking Bit Register (VDVBIT2)  
The video display field 2 vertical blanking bit register (VDVBIT2) controls the V bit in the EAV and SAV  
timing control words for field 2. The VDVBIT2 is shown in Figure 4-59 and described in Table 4-33.  
The VBITSET2 and VBITCLR2 bits control the V bit value in the EAV and SAV timing control codes. The  
V bit is set to 1 (indicating the start of field 2 digital vertical blanking) in the EAV code at the beginning of  
the line whenever the frame line counter (FLCOUNT) is equal to VBITSET2. It remains a 1 for all  
EAV/SAV codes until the EAV at the beginning of the line on when FLCOUNT = VBITCLR2 where it  
changes to 0 (indicating the start of the field 2 digital active display). The V bit operation is completely  
independent of the VBLNK control signal.  
For correct interlaced operation, the region defined by VBITSET2 and VBITCLR2 must not overlap the

Video Display FIFO Registers  
4.14 Video Display FIFO Registers  
The display FIFO mapping registers are listed in Table 4-35. These registers provide EDMA write access  
to the display FIFOs. These pseudo-registers should be mapped into DSP memory space rather than  
configuration register space in order to provide high-speed access. See the device-specific datasheet for  
the memory address of these registers.  
The function of the video display FIFO mapping registers is listed in Table 4-36.

In BT.656 or Y/C display mode, three EDMAs move data from the DSP memory to Y, Cb, and Cr display  
FIFOs by using the memory-mapped YDSTx, CBDST, and CRDST registers. The EDMA transfers are  
triggered by the YEVT, CbEVT, and CrEVT events, respectively.  
In raw display mode, one EDMA channel moves data from the DSP memory to the Y display FIFO by  
using the memory-mapped YDSTx register. The EDMA transfers are triggered by a YEVT event.  
The video display FIFO registers are write-only locations. Reads of these addresses returns arbitrary  
values and do not affect the status of the display FIFOs.

GPIO Registers  
5.1.2 Video Port Peripheral Control Register (PCR)  
The video port peripheral control register (PCR) determines operation during emulation.  
Normal operation is to not halt the port during emulation suspend. This allows a displayed image to remain  
visible during suspend. However, this will only work if one of the continuous capture/display modes is  
selected because non-continuous modes require CPU intervention for EDMAs to continue indefinitely (and  
the CPU is halted during emulation suspend).  
When FREE = 0, emulation suspend can occur. Clocks and counters continue to run in order to maintain  
synchronization with external devices. The video port waits until a field boundary to halt EDMA event  
generation, so that upon restart the video port can begin generating events again at the precise point it left  
off. After exiting suspend, the video port waits for the correct field boundary to occur and then reenables  
EDMA events. The EDMA pointers will be at the correct location for capture/display to resume where it left  
off. The emulation suspend operation is similar to the BLKCAP or BLKDISP operation with the difference  
being that BLKCAP and BLKDISP operations take effect immediately rather than at field completion and  
rely on you to reset the EDMA mechanism before they are cleared.  
There is no separate emulation suspend mechanism on the video capture side. The field and frame  
operation (see Table 3-6 ) can be used as emulation suspend.  
The video port peripheral control register (PCR) is shown in Figure 5-2 and described in Table 5-3.

GPIO Registers  
5.1.3 Video Port Pin Function Register (PFUNC)  
The video port pin function register (PFUNC) selects the video port pins as GPIO. Each bit controls either  
one pin or a set of pins. When a bit is set to 1, it enables the pin(s) that map to it as GPIO. The GPIO  
feature should not be used for pins that are used as part of the capture or display operation. For pins that  
have been muxed out for use by another peripheral, the PFUNC bits will have no effect.  
The VDATA pins are broken into two functional groups: VDATA[9-2] and VDATA[19-12]. Thus, each entire  
half of the data bus must be configured as either functional pins or GPIO pins. In the case of single  
BT.656 or raw 8-bit mode, the upper 10 VDATA pins (VDATA[19-12]) can be used as GPIOs. If the video  
port is disabled, all pins can be used as GPIO.  
The video port pin function register (PFUNC) is shown in Figure 5-3 and described in Table 5-4.

GPIO Registers  
5.1.6 Video Port Pin Data Output Register (PDOUT)  
The bits of PDOUT determine the value driven on the corresponding GPIO pin, if the pin is configured as  
an output. Writes do not affect pins not configured as GPIO outputs. The bits in PDOUT are set or cleared  
by writing to this register directly. A read of PDOUT returns the value of the register not the value at the  
pin (that might be configured as an input). An alternative way to set bits in PDOUT is to write a 1 to the  
corresponding bit of PDSET. An alternative way to clear bits in PDOUT is to write a 1 to the corresponding  
bit of PDCLR.  
PDOUT has these aliases:  
PDSET — writing a 1 to a bit in PDSET sets the corresponding bit in PDOUT to 1; writing a 0 has no  
effect and keeps the bits in PDOUT unchanged.  
PDCLR — writing a 1 to a bit in PDCLR clears the corresponding bit in PDOUT to 0; writing a 0 has no  
effect and keeps the bits in PDOUT unchanged.  
The video port pin data output register (PDOUT) is shown in Figure 5-6 and described in Table 5-7.

GPIO Registers  
5.1.9 Video Port Pin Interrupt Enable Register (PIEN)  
The GPIOs can be used to generate DSP interrupts or EDMA events. The PIEN selects which pins may  
be used to generate an interrupt. Only pins whose corresponding bits in PIEN are set may cause their  
corresponding PISTAT bit to be set.  
Interrupts are enabled on a GPIO pin when the corresponding bit in PIEN is set, the pin is enabled for  
GPIO in PFUNC, and the pin is configured as an input in PDIR.  
The video port pin interrupt enable register (PIEN) is shown in Figure 5-9 and described in Table 5-10.

GPIO Registers  
5.1.11 Video Port Pin Interrupt Status Register (PISTAT)  
PISTAT is a read-only register that indicates the GPIO pin that has a pending interrupt.  
A bit in PISTAT is set when the corresponding GPIO pin is configured as an interrupt (the corresponding  
bit in PIEN is set, the pin is enabled for GPIO in PFUNC, and the pin is configured as an input in PDIR)  
and the appropriate transition (as selected by the corresponding PIPOL bit) occurs on the pin. Whenever a  
PISTAT bit is set to 1, the GPIO bit in VPIS is set. The PISTAT bits are cleared by writing a 1 to the  
corresponding bit in PICLR. Writing a 0 has no effect. Clearing all the PISTAT bits does not clear the  
GPIO bit in VPIS, it must be explicitly cleared. If any bits in PISTAT are still set when the GPIO bit is  
cleared, the GPIO bit is set again.  
The video port pin interrupt status register (PISTAT) is shown in Figure 5-11 and described in Table 5-12.

5.1.12 Video Port Pin Interrupt Clear Register (PICLR)  
PICLR is an alias of the video port pin interrupt status register (PISTAT) for writes only. Writing a 1 to a bit  
of PICLR clears the corresponding bit in PISTAT. Writing a 0 has no effect. Register reads return all 0s.  
The video port pin interrupt clear register (PICLR) is shown in Figure 5-12 and described in Table 5-13.

Overview  
6.1 Overview  
The VCXO interpolated control (VIC) port provides single-bit interpolated VCXO control with resolution  
from 9 bits to up to 16 bits. The frequency of interpolation is dependent on the resolution needed.  
When the video port is used in transport stream interface (TCI) mode, the VIC port is used to control the  
system clock, VCXO, for MPEG transport stream (Figure 6-1).  
The VIC port supports following features:

Operational Details  
6.3 Operational Details  
Synchronization is an important aspect of decoding and presenting data in real-time digital data delivery  
systems. This is addressed in the MPEG transport packets by transmitting timing information in the  
adaptation fields of selected data packets. This serves as a reference for timing comparison in the  
receiving system. A sample of the 27-MHz clock, the program clock reference (PCR) header is shown in  
Figure 6-2, is transmitted within the bit stream, which indicates the expected time at the completion of  
reading the field from the bit stream at the transport decoder. The sample is a 42-bit field, 9 bits cycle from  
0 to 299 at 27 MHz, while the other 33-bit field is incremented by 1 each time the 9-bit field reaches a  
value of 299. The transport data packets are in sync with the server system clock.

PCR extension  
The video port in conjunction with the VIC port uses a combined hardware and software solution to  
synchronize the transport system time clock (STC) with the clock reference transmitted in the bit stream.  
The video port maintains a hardware counter that counts the system time. The counter is driven by system  
time clock (STCLK) input driven by an external VCXO, controlled by the VIC port.  
On reception of a packet, the video port captures a snapshot of the counter. Software uses this timestamp  
to determine the deviation of the system time clock from the server clock, and drives VCTL output of the  
VIC port to keep it synchronized.  
Any time a packet with a PCR is received, the timestamp for that packet is compared with the PCR value  
in software. A PLL is implemented in software to synchronize the STCLK with the system time clock. The  
DSP updates the VIC input register (VICIN) using the output from this algorithm, which in turn drives the  
VCTL output that controls the system time clock VCXO.  
If fis the frequency of PCRs in the incoming bit stream, the interpolation rate R of the VCTL output is given  
in Equation 6-1, where k is determined by the precision β specified by you.

Enabling VIC Port  
6.4 Enabling VIC Port  
Perform the following steps to enable the VIC port.  
1. Clear the GO bit in the VIC control register (VICCTL) to 0.  
2. Set the PRECISION bits in VICCTL to the desired precision.  
3. Set the VIC clock divider register (VICDIV) bits to appropriate value based on the precision and  
interpolation frequency.  
4. Set the GO bit in VICCTL to 1.  
5. The VIC input register (VICIN) is written into every time a new input code is available for interpolation.  
Repeat step Step 1 as often as needed.  
6.5 VIC Port Registers  
The VIC port registers are listed in Table 6-3. See the device-specific datasheet for the memory address

The VICDIV and VICCTL registers can be written to without affecting the operation of  
the VIC port. All the logic in the VIC port is held in reset state and a 0 is output on the  
VCTL output line. A write to VICCTL bits as well as setting GO to 1 is allowed in a  
single write operation. The VICCTL bits change and the GO bit is set, disallowing any  
further changes to the VICCTL and VICDIV registers.

The VICDIV and VICCTL (except for the GO bit) registers cannot be written. If a write  
is performed to the VICDIV or VICCTL registers when the GO bit is set, the values of  
these registers remain unchanged. If a write is performed that clears the GO bit to 0  
and changes the values of other VICCTL bits, it results in GO = 0 while keeping the  
rest of the VICCTL bits unchanged. The VIC port is in its normal working mode in this  
state.

VIC Port Registers  
6.5.3 VIC Clock Divider Register (VICDIV)  
The VIC clock divider register (VICDIV) defines the clock divider for the VIC interpolation frequency. The  
VIC interpolation frequency is obtained by dividing the module clock. The divider value written to VICDIV  
is:  
ƪ
]
ń
Divider + Round DCLK R  
where DCLK is the CPU clock divided by 2, and R is the desired interpolation frequency. The interpolation  
frequency depends on precision β.  
The default value of VICDIV is 0001h; 0000h is an illegal value. The VIC module uses a value of 0001h  
whenever 0000h is written to this register.  
The DSP can write to VICDIV only when the GO bit in VICCTL is cleared to 0. If a write is performed when  
the GO bit is set to 1, the VICDIV bits remain unchanged.  
The VIC clock divider register (VICDIV) is shown in Figure 6-5 and described in Table 6-6.
