42.2. Text Box IP Parameters

The IP offers run time and compile time parameters
Table 774.  Text Box IP Parameters
Parameter Values Description
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 Select the number of bits per color sample
Number of pixels in parallel 1 to 8 Select the number of pixels transmitted per clock cycle
Color space RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, YCbCr 4:2:0, Monochrome

Select the output color space.

RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:0 have 3 color channels.

YCbCr 4:2:2 has 2 color channels.

Monochrome has 1 color channel.

Enable alpha channel On or Off Turn on to add an extra alpha color plane containing transparency information
General Settings
Memory mapped control interface On or Off Turn on for the Memory-mapped control interface and allow runtime configuration of the IP via the register map.
Debug features On or Off

Turn on for read back of writable registers via the Memory-mapped control interface.

If off, you cannot read back from any writable registers. Read-only registers are always readable.

Separate clock for control interface On or Off Turn on for a separate clock for the Memory mapped control interface.
Pipeline ready signals On or Off Enable to add extra pipeline registers to AXI4-S tready signals

Enable interrupt

On or Off 129

Add an interrupt sender signal that fires when the IP accepts configuration for the next frame, indicating when it is safe to start writing new settings.

Text Box Configuration
Text double buffering On or Off 129

Turn on to add a second text buffer, allowing you to control both which buffer you write text to, and which buffer the IP uses.

Number of characters per line 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 The number of characters you can write per line of text. The field/frame width is derived from this parameter and the Maximum font size.
Number of lines 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 The number of lines of text. The IP derives the field or frame height from this parameter and the Maximum font size.
Maximum font size 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255 129

Set the maximum font size available to be set at runtime. This parameter with Number of characters per line and Number of lines determine the maximum field dimensions.

With a font size of 1, each character is 8x8 pixels

Static Text Configuration
Text file name A valid filepath 130

Select the text file that contains the static text to display.

The text is truncated horizontally if a line is longer than Number of characters per line, and truncated vertically if the file is longer than Number of lines.

Fixed interlace nibble 0 to 15 130

Select the required initial interlace nibble configuration, as described by the Intel FPGA Streaming Video protocol.

  • Values 0-7 give progressive output
  • Values 8-11 give interlaced output with F0 first after reset
  • Values 12-15 give interlaced output with F1 first after reset.

If Lite mode is off, this value populates the initial image information packet.

Fixed font size 3 to 255 130

Set the font size for the static text.

The fixed field width is (Number of characters per line * Fixed font size * 8)

The fixed field height is (Number of lines * Fixed font size * 8)

Fixed font color (R/Cr) 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 130

Set the static text’s font color R component if color space is RGB, or Cr if color space is YCbCr.

Fixed font color (G/Y) 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 130

Set the static text’s font color G component if color space is RGB, or Y if color space is YCbCr.

Fixed font color (B/Cb) 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 130

Set the static text’s font color B component if color space is RGB, or Cb if color space is YCbCr, or the monochrome component.

Fixed font alpha 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 Only if Memory-mapped control interface is off and Enable alpha channel is on. Set the static text’s font alpha value.
Fixed background color (R/Cr) 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 130

Set the static text’s background color R component if color space is RGB, or Cr if color space is YCbCr.

Fixed background color (G/Y) 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 130

Set the static text’s background color G component if color space is RGB, or Y if color space is YCbCr.

Fixed background color (B/Cb) 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1 130

Set the static text’s background color B component if color space is RGB, or Cb if color space is YCbCr, or the monochrome component.

Fixed background alpha 0 to (2 bits per color sample) - 1

Only if Memory-mapped control interface is off, and Enable alpha channel is on.

Set the static text’s background alpha value.
