3.1. Design Features

Setting the Enable Active Video Protocol to AXIS-VVP gives two design variants:
  • HDMI 2.1 RX-TX Direct Retransmit without video frame buffer
    • Fixed 225 MHz for TX and RX video clock (vid_clk) for the direct retransmit of the design
    • HDMI TX can run at fixed clock with the video valid (vid_valid) toggling from the RX
    • Video in and out use the same clock check box in the HDMI TX core Advanced Configuration table is turned on
  • HDMI 2.1 TX-TX Retransmit Design with video frame buffer
    • Fixed 225 MHz for RX video clock
    • TX video clock running at a frequency relative to the actual pixel clock (pixel clock/pixel-in-parallel)
    • Video frame buffer between RX and TX truncates or repeats the frame for the asynchronous clocking between RX and TX

Both design variants currently only support FRL mode. Intel will enable support for TMDS mode in a future release.
