15.4. Clocked Video Output IP Interfaces
The IP has up to three video input interfaces:
- An AXI4-S video input for the primary pixel data input, axi4s_vid_in
- An optional AXI4-S video Input for the test pattern generator pixel data input, axi4s_tpg_in
- An optional AXI4-S full-raster input for the real-time video raster data, axi4s_fr_timing_in
The IP has one video output interface, an AXI4-S full-raster bus, axi4s_fr_vid_out
The IP has one optional CPU interface, av_mm_cpu_agent
The CPU interface is asynchronous to the video output interface. Assume the video clock can be unstable when you select a new standard, which can cause unreliable behavior if used for the CPU interface.
The proprietary Intel FPGA streaming full-raster protocol is compatible with AMBA AXI4-stream interfaces to connect components that exchange video data. The protocols allow interfaces to Intel FPGA video IPs or other AXI4-Stream compliant third-party video IPs. Table 4 provides a description for each of the conduits on the output and input interfaces.
The video clock and CPU clock are assumed to be asynchronous to each other. Internally, the Clocked Video Output IP includes clock domain crossing (CDC) circuits for both single bit and data bus signal cases, which allows safe data exchange between the two asynchronous clock domains. The Clocked Video Output IP also includes an embedded entity .sdc file, which provides all the necessary information to the Timing Analyzer. For system integration, when you instantiate the Clocked Video Output IP in a design, the only constraints required are:
- Clock frequency constraints for the timing reference input clock (fr_clock_clk)
- Clock frequency constraints for the primary video clock (vid_clock_clk)
- Clock frequency constraints for the test pattern input video clock (tpg_clock_clk)
- Clock frequency constraints for the CPU clock (cpu_clock_clk)
