4.1.1. Transmitter Input Video Interface Signals

This interface carries video data into the MIPI DSI-2 IP. It complies with the Altera Streaming Video Protocol (full variant) which transports pixel data via an AXI4-Stream-compliant interface. For more information on this protocol and rules for pixel formatting and signaling, refer to the Altera Streaming Video Protocol Specification.
The video interface signal widths can be calculated with the following formula:

The following table shows some examples on the bit widths values:

Table 19.  Examples for Video Interface Bit Widths
Data Type Bits per Color Plane Number of Color Planes
RGB 16bit (RGB565) 6 3
RGB 24bit (RGB888) 8 3
YCbCr 12bit (4:2:0) 10 1
YCbCr 16bit (4:2:2) 8 2
Table 20.  Transmitter AXI-4 Stream Input Video Interface Signals
Signal Name Width Direction Description
axi4s_vid_in_tdata P Input AXI4-Stream data.
axi4s_vid_in_tvalid 1 Input AXI4-Stream data valid.
axi4s_vid_in_tuser Q Input
Bit 0: Start of video frame
  • 0 = Not start of field
  • 1 = Start of field
Bit 1: Meta or video packet
  • 0 = Video packet
  • 1 = Meta packet

Bits Q-1:2 = Unused
axi4s_vid_in_tlast 1 Input AXI4-Stream end of packet.
axi4s_vid_in_tready 1 Output AXI4-Stream data ready.
