Jakob,

Thanks for the quick reply, and I am already somewhat down that path.

I don't have a NIOS in the design at the moment, although it is planned. Right now I am using a JTAG master to run TCL scripts to write to the control registers on the mixer.

When processing interlaced video, am I correct in thinking that all the processing is done on a FIELD basis (F0 or F1) rather than a frame basis, unless I deinterlace the video?

Do you know of any way to produce interlaced video using the VIP tools, once it is in progressive format in a frame buffer?

Thanks!

Jim
