2.6. Dynamic Range and Mastering (HDR) InfoFrame Insertion and Filtering

The HDMI Intel® FPGA IP design example includes a demonstration of HDR InfoFrame insertion in a RX-TX loopback system.

HDMI Specification version 2.0b allows Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame to be transmitted through HDMI auxiliary stream. In the demonstration, the Auxiliary Packet Generator block supports the HDR insertion. You need only to format the intended HDR InfoFrame packet as specified in the module’s signal list table and the insertion of the HDR InfoFrame occurs once every video frame.

In this example configuration, in instances where the incoming auxiliary stream already includes HDR InfoFrame, the streamed HDR content is filtered. The filtering avoids conflicting HDR InfoFrames to be transmitted and ensures that only the values specified in the HDR Sample Data module are used.

Figure 11. RX-TX Link with Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame InsertionThe figure shows the block diagram of RX-TX link including Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame insertion into the HDMI TX core auxiliary stream.

Disabling HDR Insertion and Filtering

Disabling HDR insertion and filter enables you to verify the retransmission of HDR content already available in the source auxiliary stream without any modification in the RX-TX Retransmit design example.

To disable HDR InfoFrame insertion and filtering:

  1. Set block_ext_hdr_infoframe to 1’b0 in the rxtx_link.v file to prevent the filtering of the HDR InfoFrame from the Auxiliary stream.
  2. Set multiplexer_in0_valid of the avalon_st_multiplexer instance in the altera_hdmi_aux_hdr.v file to 1'b0 to prevent the Auxiliary Packet Generator from forming and inserting additional HDR InfoFrame into the TX Auxiliary stream.
