Video Capture Port
Video capture works by sampling video data on the input pins and saving it to
the video port FIFO. When the amount of captured data reaches a
programmed threshold level, a DMA is performed to move data from the FIFO
into DSP memory. In some cases, color separation is performed on the incoming
video data requiring multiple FIFOs and DMAs to be used.
The video port enables capture of both interlaced and progressive scan data.
Interlaced capture can be performed on either a field-by-field or a frame-by-
frame basis. A capture window specifies the data to be captured within each
field. Frame and field synchronization can be performed using embedded sync
codes or configurable control inputs allowing glueless interface to various
encoders and ADCs.
