10.5. Chroma Key IP Registers

Each register is either read-only (RO) or read-write (RW).

In the software API the register names appear with a prefix of INTEL_VVP,INTEL_VVP_CORE, or INTEL_VVP_CHROMA_KEY as appropriate and with an optional REGsuffix.

When you turn off Lite mode:

Bit 1: Pending register updates bit.

Any writes to the output sampling register (0x0148) cause the IP to raise the pending register updates bit, to indicate outstanding changes to the chroma key settings. The IP lowers this bit at the next field boundary after a write to the COMMIT register.
