17 years agoClocked Video Input overflows
It is time to tie my Clocked_Video_Input with my Clocked_Video_Output and just pass an image in and out but, lo and behold, I get an overflow on the CVInput. I have a conceptual block here. I a...

17 years agoYes the backpressure from downstream functions can cause an overflow. You need to make sure that the combination of video IP clock rate, input data rate, input pixel buffer size, output data rate, and output pixel buffer size are such that an overflow does not occur.
Most video standards have a vertical blanking period. If your clocked output is say a few lines ahead of your input data stream, you may be in a situation where the input data stream is pushing data in but the output stream is not using any of it which results in an overflow. You could try throwing a frame buffer between them. Jake
