Hello Gareth!

I'm using the Test Pattern Generator (from Altera) to feed the clocked video output. I configured it to generate a 720x486 pixels interlaced colorbar (F0 synchronized). The colorspace is YCbCr with 10 bits per color space using 4:2:2 sampling.

The clocked video output is configured like this:

Image Width: 720 pixels

Image Height: 486 lines

Bits per pixel per color plane: 10

Number of color planes: 2

Color plane transmission format: parallel

Interlaced video checked

Pixel fifo size: 720 pixels

Sync signals: on separate wires

The synchronization signals settings are what I need to know

Using embedded sync signals the video was output perfectly, but I really need the external sync signals to drive other components
