25.3. Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner Parameter Settings

Table 83.  Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner Parameter Settings
Parameter Value Description
Bits per color sample 4–20, Default = 8 Select the number of bits per color plane.
Number of color planes 1–4, Default = 2 Select the number of color planes per pixel.
Color planes transmitted in parallel On or Off Select whether to send the color planes in parallel or sequence (serially).
Number of pixels in parallel 1, 2, 4, 8 Select the number of pixels transmitted per clock cycle.
Maximum frame width 32–8192, Default = 1920 Specify the maximum frame width allowed by the core. The Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner removes any frames above the specified width from the data stream.
Maximum frame height 32–8192, Default = 1080 Specify the maximum frame height allowed by the core. The Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner removes any frames above the specified height from the data stream.
How user packets are handled
  • Discard all user packets received
  • Pass all user packets through to the output

If you design does not require the Clipper II IP core to propagate user packets, then you may select to discard all user packets to reduce ALM usage.

If your design guarantees there will never be any user packets in the input data stream, then you further reduce ALM usage by selecting No user packets allowed. In this case, the Clipper II IP core may lock if it encounters a user packet.

Minimum frame width 32–8192, Default = 32 Specify the minimum frame width allowed by the core. The Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner removes any frames below the specified width from the data stream.
Minimum frame height 32–8192, Default = 32 Specify the minimum frame width allowed by the core. The Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner removes any frames below the specified height from the data stream.
Enable control slave port On or Off Turn on to enable an Avalon-MM control slave port where the error count values can be read and reset.
Only clip even numbers of pixels from the left side On or Off Frames with widths that are non-integer multiples of the width modulo check value are clipped to the nearest integer multiple. They are clipped as equally as possible on the left and right edges of the image.

Turning on this parameter forces the clip on the left edge of the image to be an even number of pixels. The even number is necessary to prevent color swap for 4:2:2 formatted data.

Width modulo check value 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 Specify the width modulo check value.
Remove interlaced fields larger than 1080i On or Off Turn on to remove interlaced field packets larger than 1080i
Register Avalon-ST ready signals On or Off

Turn on to add extra pipeline stage registers to the data path.

You must to turn on this option to achieve:

  • Frequency of 150 MHz for Cyclone III or Cyclone IV devices
  • Frequencies above 250 MHz for Arria II, Stratix IV, or Stratix V devices
