Thanks for reply!

I have following video path:

Clocked Video Input(progressive, 1280x1024) -> clipper-> gamma corrector -> filter -> st-splitter(out1) -> frame buffer -> a lot of cores for convert to PAL output.

st-splitter(out2) -> fifo -> scaler -> my custom JPEG encoder.

I found that invalid frame comes during start up, but not sure it comes just one time...

I have found "Discard invalid frames/fields" parameter in Frame Buffer, it seems it all I need, but it is not reasonable to occupy memory bandwidth for dropping invalid frames only. My encoder is faster than my video source, so no additional frame rate conversion is needed.

Thanks!
