Duplicating Avalon ST Video Stream - Color Plane Sequencer or Avalon-ST Splitter?

I have a design right now that duplicates Avalon-ST video streams using a string of color plane sequencers and I was wondering whether there is an advantage to using the CPS over the dedicated Avalon...

That all depends on your needs. If you need multiple duplicates of one stream (and depending e.g. on the strategy for prioritization of some streams) you may just write your own splitter. Should not be that hard and will potentially safe a lot of resources.

Otherwise with the CPS you have the possibility to cut some colorplanes away or change the order, or switch from sequential to parallel transfer.

As introduced, all depends on your needs.
