3) Field Interrupt.
When the field interrupt occurs on the completion of an
odd field, the interrupt must program the Video Data
Odd Base Address with the other buffer’s address.
The odd field will ping-pong between the two buffers.
When the interrupt is due to the completion of an even
field, the interrupt handler must program the GX1
module’s video buffer start offset value
(GX_BASE+Memory Offset 8320h) with the address
of the frame (both odd and even fields) that was just
received from the VIP block. This new address will not
take affect until the start of a new frame. It must also
program the Video Data Even Base Address with the
other buffer so that the even field will ping-pong just
like the odd field. The field just received can be known
by reading the Current Field bit (F4BAR2+Memory
Offset 08h[24]).
7.2.1.3 Capture VBI Mode
There are three types of VBI data defined by the CCIR-656
protocol: Task A data, Task B data, and Ancillary data. The
VIP block supports the capture for each data type. Gener-
ally Task A data is the data type captured. Just as in Cap-
ture Video mode, there are three registers that tell the bus
master where to put the raw VBI data in the GX1 module’s
frame buffer. Once the raw VBI data has been captured,
the data can be manipulated or decoded. The data can
also be used by an application. An example of this would
be an Internet address that is encoded on one or more of
the VBI lines, or have an application decode the Closed
Captioning information put in the graphics frame buffer.
The registers, F4BAR2+Memory Offset 40h, 44h, and 48h,
tell the bus master the destination addresses for the VBI
data in the GX1 module’s frame buffer. Five bits
(F4BAR2+Memory Offset 00h[21:17]) are used to tell the
bus master the data types to store. Capture VBI mode
needs to be enabled at F4BAR2+Memory Offset
04h[9,1:0]. The Field Interrupt bit (F4BAR2+Memory Offset
04h[16]) should be used by the software driver to know
when the captured VBI data has been completed for a field.
