Video IP Cusom ST Block SOP, EOP

Hello, I'm wondering if someone could help out in managing the packet signals for a custom Video-ST block. For example, if I want to add a custom user type packet before the control packet...

So I guess what your saying, is you extract the control packets and store them somewhere else, then sync them up on the back end???

After some more thinking, what I came up with was just to carry around a couple of extra bits and generate the output signals with that.

Ie. data_to_hold <= {SINK_data_in, startofpacket, endofpacket};

Then on the output side, just use the last two bits to drive the signals.

Any thoughts?

I'll peak at the Altera code in the meantime.
