10 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi, that all depend son your system-settings. You said, your Clocked-Video-Output runs at 44.8MHz. This is the outgoing clock of the CVO? So the CVO is configured with two clock domains? The (let's call it) Stream-Clock and the Video-Clock. Right? What color plane setting do you have? All transmitted in parallel, or in sequence? What are the burst-settings of the Frame-Reader? How wide is the Frame-Reader-Memory-Interface and is it clocked with the DDR-Clock or with the Avalon-Clock? The minimum frequency depends on the settings of the Color-Plane-Sequencer. The only question I could answer without knowing more about your system-setup is the question regarding the clock domains: -All IPs you connect with Avalon Stream, in your case the whole pipeline have to have the same clock for their streaming-ports. In your case variable is the Clock for the Memory-Interface of the Frame-Reader and the outgoing clock of the CVO. So please give us more details on what you need, and what you have build yet. Kind regards --- Quote End --- Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was going to add screen shots but I don't know how. Anyway, vip_vfr is configured as follows: Bits per color planes 8 Planes in parallel 3 Number of colors in sequence 1 Image width 970 Image height 720 Master port width 32 FIFO depth 1024 Read master FIFO burst target 64 --- vip_itc: Width 970 Height 720 Bits per pixel 8 Color planes 3 Parallel transmission format Video in and out use the same clock NO (just discovered this option) --- All IPs share a 44.8Mhz clock for now. This is probably wrong and I am going to have to add a PLL and a vip_cpr. Why should I have a vip_cpr? Thanks, S.
