7. Run the test by changing to the example video files test or example constrained
random test directory and start the QuestaSim
™
software:
■ For example video files test:
>cd $ALTERA_VIDEO_VERIFICATION/example_video_files
>vsim –do run.tcl
■ For constrained random test:
>cd $ALTERA_VIDEO_VERIFICATION/example_constrained_random
>vsim –do run.tcl
1 To run with other simulators, edit the run.tcl file as provided by Qsys (including the
appropriate TCL script for that vendor’s simulator). The test runs and completes with
the following message:
“Simulation complete. To view resultant video, now run the windows
raw2avi application.”
The example video files test produces a raw output video file (vip_car_out.raw).
Together with an .spc file (vip_car_out.spc), you can use the vip_car_out.raw to
generate an .avi file for viewing. To generate the .avi file, open a DOS command
prompt from a Windows machine and run the following convertor utility:
C:>raw2avi.exe vip_car_out.raw video.avi
You can view the video.avi file with a media player. The media player shows a
greyscale version of the source video file (vip_car_0.avi) that you can also play to see
the full color video. You can view the full sequence from which the clip is taken in the
vip_car.avi file.
