Chapter 14: Control Synchronizer MegaCore Function 14–3
Functional Description
January 2013 Altera Corporation Video and Image Processing Suite
User Guide
3. The Video Data Packet and Control Data Packet pair with changed width of 320
have propagated through the Frame Buffer. The Control Synchronizer has
detected the change and triggered a write to the Scaler. The Control Synchronizer
has stalled the video processing pipeline while it performs the write, as shown in
Figure 14–3.
4. The Scaler has been reconfigured to output width 320 frames. The Control
Synchronizer has resumed the video processing pipeline. At no point did the
Scaling ratio change from 1:1, as shown in Figure Figure 14–4.
Avalon-ST Video Protocol Parameters
You can customize the Control Synchronizer according to the parameters listed in
Table 14–1.
