Hello,

The AFD extractor is shipped with the development suite, check the following directory:

<QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR>\ip\altera\clocked_video_input\afd_example

You need to add this directory to the qsys search path. Alternatively, you may copy the afd_example directory into a "ip" directory in your project directory to get the AFD extractor to appear under Qsys.

The AFD clipper is exactly the same as the standard Video IP clipper. It is called like that to differentiate it from other clippers in the UDX3 design.
