Simplest way to transfer N video frames from Cyclone III Dev Kit to host PC?

Hi, I am working on a video design using Cyclone III Development Kit. I have got the streaming video pipeline working. Now, I need to tap this avalon-ST video path and transfer say 50 video frames the to host PC. what could be the simplest solution (with shorter development time), to transfer realtime video data to host PC. Port options available on the board are uart, ethernet and jtag-uart.

Any suggestions??

i tried to use signal-tap, which in turn makes use of jtag-uart, but due to resource limitations it captures slightly short of one frame...not enough http://www.alteraforum.com/forum//images/icons/icon9.png

can jtag-uart be used in any other way to do the job?

or DMA with uart?

or ethernet?

regards
