25.2. Repairing Non-Ideal and Error Cases

The Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner IP core repairs various non-ideal and error cases.
Table 82.  Repairing Non-Ideal and Error CasesThis table shows how the Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner IP core repairs the non-ideal and error cases.
Non-Ideal/Error Cases Action
Multiple control packets per frame/field Uses the values from the final control packet in the sequence to generate a single control packet at the output.
Broken control packets Ignores and removes the control packets with too few beats of data to decode correctly from the data stream.
User packets between the control and frame/field packet
  • Generates a single control packet at the output.
  • Locates the single control packet between the last user packet (if there are any) and the frame/field packet.
Missing control packet Removes any frame/field packets without an associated decodable control packet (since the preceding frame) from the stream.
Frame/field dimensions larger than parameterized maxima If the height or width specified by the preceding control packet is larger than the maximum value set in the parameter editor, the IP core removes the frame/field packet from the stream.
Frame/field dimensions smaller than parameterized minima If the height or width specified by the preceding control packet is smaller than maximum value set in the parameter editor, the IP core removes the frame/field packet from the stream.
Frame/field packet longer than specified by the control packet If the frame/field packet contains more beats of data than the beats specified by the height and width values in the preceding control packet, the IP core clips the frame/field packet so its length matches the control packet values.
Frame/field packet shorter than specified by the control packet If the frame/field packet contains fewer beats of data than the beats specified by the height and width values in the preceding control packet, the IP core pads the frame/field packet with gray pixel data so its length matches the control packet values.
Interlaced data above 1080i (optional) This optional featured (parameter controlled) will remove any fields with preceding control packets that specify interlaced data greater than 1920 pixels wide or 540 lines per field (greater than 1080i).
Non-modulo line lengths If you set a modulo check value (set to 1), the Avalon-ST Video Stream Cleaner IP core will check whether the frame/field width for the incoming control packet and the frame/field packets is an integer multiple of this value.

If the width is not an integer multiple of the modulo check value, the IP core adjusts the control packet width to the nearest integer multiple. The IP core clips each line in the frame/field packet accordingly.
