11.6. Color Plane Sequencer Parameter Settings

Table 37.  Color Plane Sequencer II Parameter Settings n refers to the input or output number.
Parameter Value Description
How user packets are handled
  • No user packets allowed
  • Discard all user packets received
  • Pass all user packets through to the output(s)
  • If your design does not require the IP core to propagate user packets, then you may select Discard all user packets received to reduce ALM usage.
  • If your design guarantees there will never be any user packets in the input data stream, then you can further reduce ALM usage by selecting No user packets allowed. In this case, the IP core may lock if it encounters a user packet.
  • When propagating user packets, you should specify how the packets are routed. Each input can be routed to either or both outputs independently.
Add extra pipelining registers On or Off Turn on to add extra pipeline stage registers to the data path.
Bits per color sample 4-20, Default = 8 Select the number of bits per color sample.
Number of inputs 1 or 2 Select the number of inputs.
Number of outputs 1 or 2 Select the number of outputs.
din_n: Add input fifo On or Off Turn on if you want to add a FIFO at the input to smooth the throughput burstiness.
din_n: Input fifo size 1–128, Default = 8 Specify the size (in powers of 2) of the input FIFO (in number of input beats).
din_n: Number of color planes 1–4, Default = 3 Select the number of color planes per pixel.
din_n: Color planes transmitted in parallel On or Off Select whether the color planes are in parallel or in sequence (serially).
din_n: Number of pixels in parallel 1, 2, 4 Specify the number of pixels received in parallel (per clock cycle).
din_n: Specify an input pattern over two pixels On or Off Turn on if you want to create an input color pattern using two consecutive input pixels instead of one.
din_n: Input pattern for pixel 0 —

Select a unique symbol name for each color plane of pixel 0. Each symbol may appear only once and must not be reused for pixel 1, or when specifying the color pattern for the other input.

din_n: Input pattern for pixel 1 — Select a unique symbol name for each color plane of pixel 1. This parameter is only available if you turn on Specify an input pattern over two pixels.
dout_n: Add output fifo On or Off Turn on if you want to add a FIFO at the output to smooth the throughput burstiness.
dout_n: Output fifo size 1–128, Default = 8 Specify the size (in powers of 2) of the output FIFO (in number of output beats).
dout_n: Number of color planes 1–4, Default = 3 Select the number of color planes per pixel.
dout_n: Color planes transmitted in parallel On or Off Select whether to transmit the color planes in parallel or in sequence (serially).
dout_n: Number of pixels in parallel 1, 2, 4 Specify the number of pixels transmitted in parallel (per clock cycle).
dout_n: Propagate user packets from input 0 — Select whether user packets from input 0 are propagated through output n. This parameter is only available if you turn on Pass all user packets through to the output(s).
dout_n: Propagate user packets from input 1 — Select whether user packets from input 1 are propagated through output n. This parameter is only available if you turn on Pass all user packets through to the output(s) and Specify an input pattern over two pixels.
dout_n: Specify an output pattern over two pixels On or Off Turn on if you want to create an output color pattern using two consecutive output pixel instead of one.
dout_n: Output pattern for pixel 0 —

Select a valid symbol name for each color plane of pixel 0. The symbol must be defined on one of the input color patterns.

dout_n: Output pattern for pixel 1 — Select a valid symbol name for each color plane of pixel 1. The symbol must be defined on one of the input color patterns. This parameter is only available if you turn on Specify an output pattern over two pixels.
