37.1. About the Video Frame Reader IP

The IP reads frames or frames of video stored in external memory and writes them on an Intel FPGA streaming video output. The frame reader has a host Avalon memory-mapped interface to allow connection to an external memory interface and an agent Avalon memory-mapped interface to allow run-time control.

The frame reader supports:

  • Maximum frame resolutions of 16,384 by 16,384 pixels with 1 to 8 pixels in parallel and any color space
  • Reading of progressive frames or interlaced fields
  • Configurable memory packing scheme
  • Runtime configurable frame location in memory
  • Configurable number of buffer sets
  • Continuous,single-shot, and frame sync modes over a single buffer set or multiple buffer sets
  • Configurable interrupt on read completion

The IP is available as full or lite variants. For more information on full and lite, refer to the Intel FPGA Streaming Video Protocol Specification. The Video Frame Reader IP takes resolution information from the configurable buffer set registers.

An Avalon memory-mapped interface allows you to configure buffer sets and change the operating mode at run time. You must have this interface for both full and lite variants.

For details about latency and reset behavior for the Video Frame Reader, refer to Video and Vision IPs Functional Description.
