11.2. Advanced Test Pattern Generator IP Parameters
Parameter | Values | Description |
---|---|---|
General | ||
Interface Configuration |
||
Lite mode | On or Off | Turn on to use the Lite variant of the Intel FPGA Streaming Video protocol.
|
Bits per color sample | 8 to 16 | Selects the number of bits per color sample |
Number of pixels in parallel | 1 to 8 | Selects the number of pixels transmitted per clock cycle. If either YCbCr422 or YCbCr420 is selected as the Color space, then this must be 1 or even. |
Color space | RGB444, YCbCr444, YCbCr422, YCbCr420, Monochrome | Selects the output color space. RGB444, YCbCr444 and YCbCr420 have 3 color channels. YCbCr422 has 2 color channels. Monochrome has 1 color channel. |
General Settings | ||
Memory mapped control interface | On or Off | Turn on for the Avalon memory-mapped control agent interface and allow run-time configuration via the register map. |
Debug features | On or Off | Turn on to read back from any writable registers and read-only registers. If off, you cannot read back from any writable registers. However you can still read any read-only registers. |
Separate clock for control interface | On or Off | Enable a separate clock for the Memory mapped control agent interface |
Pipeline ready signals | On or Off | Enable to add extra pipeline registers to AXI4-S tready signals. |
Number of test patterns |
2 to 8 | Select the number of test patterns. |
Video Configuration | ||
Fixed field width | 1 to 16384 | Only if Memory-mapped control interface is off. Select the width of the frames and fields produced at the output. If the selected Color space is YCbCr 4:2:2 or YCbCr 4:2:0, the frame width must be a multiple of 2. |
Fixed field height | 1 to 16384 | Only if Memory-mapped control interface is off. Select the height of fields produced at the output. If the selected Color space is YCbCr 4:2:0, the field height must be a multiple of 2. |
Fixed interlace | 0 to 15 | Only if Memory-mapped control interface is off. If Lite mode is off, this value populates the interlace nibble field in the output image info packets.
|
Pattern X Pattern X is repeated for all patterns 0 to 7, where X is the pattern number. |
||
Pattern X test pattern | Bars Constant color SDI pathological Zone plate Digital clock |
Sets the test pattern for pattern X. |
Pattern X Dimensions, Offsets, and Alpha These parameters are only available if Memory mapped control interface is off. Otherwise, refer to the register map for control of these settings. Pattern 0 is the base layer and uses Fixed frame width, Fixed frame height, Fixed frame interlacing instead of these parameters listed here. |
||
Pattern width | 1 to 16384 | Sets the width of pattern X. |
Pattern height | 1 to 16384 | Sets the height of pattern X. |
Alpha value | 0 to (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1 | Sets the alpha value (transparency) used to blend pattern X with |
Horizontal offset | 0 to 16383 | Sets the horizontal offset for pattern X. |
Vertical offset | 0 to 16383 | Sets the vertical offset for pattern X. |
Pattern X Pattern Configuration |
||
Constant color R/Cr | 0 – (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1 | Sets the value that the IP uses for the R color plane if output is RGB, or Cr color plane if output is YCbCr. 17 |
Constant color G/Y | 0 – (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1 | Sets the value that the IP uses for the G color plane if output is RGB, or Y color plane if output is YCbCr. 17 |
Constant color B/Cb | 0 – (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1 | Sets the value that the IP uses for the B color plane if output is RGB, or Cb color plane if output is YCbCr. 17 |
Bars mode | Color Greyscale Black and White Mixed |
Sets which variant of the bars pattern to use. Only if pattern X is bars test pattern. |
Zone plate Origin x-coordinate | 0 to 16383 | Set to configure the x-coordinate of the zone plate origin. 18 |
Zone plate Origin y-coordinate | 0 to 16383 | Set to configure the y-coordinate of the zone plate origin.18 |
Zone plate Coarse scaling factor | 1 to 31 | Set to configure the coarse scaling coefficient of the zone plate size. Increase this value to increase the size of the zone plate. The value is arbitrary, but recommended starting values are 17 for HD and 19 for 4k resolutions. 18 |
Zone plate Fine-tune scaling factor | 1 to 65535 | The fine tune scaling coefficient of the zone plate size. This 16-bit fixed point number hash 8 bits fractional part (hence 256 is a value of 1.0). Increase this value to decrease the size of the zone plate. 18 |
Digital clock Background color (B/Cb) | 0 to (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1
|
Set to configure the B component of the digital clock display background color if the output color space is RGB, or Cb component if YCbCr. 19 |
Digital clock Background color (G/Y) | 0 to (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1 |
Set to configure the G component of the digital clock display background color if the output color space is RGB, or Y component if YCbCr. 19 |
Fixed digital clock background color (R/Cr) | 0 to (2^ Bits per color sample) – 1 |
