16. Frame Buffer II IP Core

The Frame Buffer II IP core buffers video frames into external RAM.
The Frame Buffer II IP core offers the following features:
  • Buffers progressive and interlaced video fields.
  • Supports double and triple buffering with a range of options for frame dropping and repeating
    • When frame dropping and frame repeating are not allowed—the IP core provides a double-buffering function that can help solve throughput issues in the data path.
    • When frame dropping and/or frame repeating are allowed—the IP core provides a triple-buffering function that can be used to perform simple frame rate conversion.
  • Supports up to 8 pixels per transmission.
  • Supports a configurable inter-buffer offset to allow the best interleaving of DDR banks for maximum efficiency
  • Supports compile-time or run-time controlled variable buffer delay up to 4,095 frames
  • Supports reader-only or writer-only modes
  • Configurable user packet behavior

The Frame Buffer II IP core has two basic blocks:

  • Writer—stores input pixels in memory
  • Reader—retrieves video frames from the memory and produces them as outputs
