My first recommendation is that you do the video processing path inside SoPC builder. This will make your life significantly easier. At the very least, I would do the deinterlacer and DDR2 memory in SoPC builder.

The MA Deinterlacer has 5 memory masters. If you do it inside SoPC builder, it will take care of the memory arbitration for you. If you do it on your own, you'll have to write a memory arbitrator.

As far as configuring the DDR2 interface in the deinterlacer:

- Set the Avalon-MM ports width to 64 (match your local DDR2 interface).

- Set the FIFO depths to 128 if you are using a device family that uses M4K RAM blocks. Set it to 256 if you are using a device family that uses M9K blocks (Stratix III, Stratix IV, Cyclone III, Arria II).

- Set the burst target to 32.
