3.6.7. Set TX Video Clock

Perform this step only if you are running the design with video frame buffer at the actual video clock. In this use case, a programmable oscillator supplies the video clock for HDMI TX with a frequency based on the following formula:

TX video clock = (actual pixel rate / pixels in parallel) * colour depth ratio

Color Depth

(Bit per Component)

Color Depth Ratio
8 1.00
10 1.25
12 1.50
16 2.00

Note that the design is running at 8 pixels in parallel.

The design example uses the TX video clock with the following resolution, color depth, and video clock frequency configurations. Expand this list according to your application.

Note: Both design variants currently only support 8bpc resolution. To add support for deep color resolution, refer to chapter 3.9.1 Supporting Additional Video Resolutions.
