3.5. Dynamic Range and Mastering (HDR) InfoFrame Insertion and Filtering
HDMI Specification version 2.0b allows Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame to be transmitted through HDMI auxiliary stream. In the demonstration, the Auxiliary Data Insertion block supports the HDR insertion. You need only to format the intended HDR InfoFrame packet as specified in the module’s signal list table and use the provided AUX Insertion Control module to schedule the insertion of the HDR InfoFrame once every video frame.
In this example configuration, in instances where the incoming auxiliary stream already includes HDR InfoFrame, the streamed HDR content is filtered. The filtering avoids conflicting HDR InfoFrames to be transmitted and ensures that only the values specified in the HDR Sample Data module are used.

Disabling HDR Insertion and Filtering
Disabling HDR insertion and filter enables you to verify the retransmission of HDR content already available in the source auxiliary stream without any modification in the RX-TX Retransmit design example.
To disable HDR InfoFrame insertion and filtering:
- Set block_ext_hdr_infoframe to 1’b0 in the rxtx_link.v file to prevent the filtering of the HDR InfoFrame from the Auxiliary stream.
- Set multiplexer_in0_valid of the avalon_st_multiplexer instance in the altera_hdmi_aux_hdr.v file to 1'b0 to prevent the Auxiliary Packet Generator from forming and inserting additional HDR InfoFrame into the TX Auxiliary stream.
