Timequest Timing constrain Problem: Where can I get the PLL clock delay

Hello,

I'm working on a project that receive HDMI video on one end, re-scale it then output it on the other end.

but I have a problem, I don't know where to get the value of TX_CLK_TO_FPGA_min/max, please refer to the figure below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HDMI Receiver: ADV7611

HDMI Transmitter: ADV7513

FPGA: CYCLONE V C7D6

Question: Where can I find the delay for clock TX_CLK_TO_FPGA_min/max?

Since it is generated by PLL, but I need a value to complete the formula.

Here is the ADV7513 TX Timing:

Here is the ADV7611 RX Timing:

Here is the SDC script:

I write a sdc script base on "Altera Timequest Cookbook". I also read this wiki but I don't think it's completely correct. http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/constrain_spi_core
