VIP format

hello there, Happy new year.

I am studying VIP suite and avalon-ST stream data.

as far as I read data format of Video stream of VIP suite, it describes only one pixel ( at most ).

you can specify bit-width, but still for one-pixel.

I tested with test-pattern-generator core.

I want to send paralleled data, via avalon-ST.

I do know I can send multiple bit data via avalon-ST as many as I want.

but I am wondering if those data are illegal as VIP suite format.

could somebody give me a hint?

    It should not be illegal, but in my mind no VIP-Suite Core supports streaming-transfers with more than one pixel per clock.

    thanks Taz1984.

    I understand it.

    I think I have to make whole IP's by my self.

    HI akira!

    Did you try 14.0 version VIP? As I can see in description, most IP cores supports up to 4 pixels in parallel instead of 1 pixel for 13.1 version.
