Figure 4–2. Packet Structure
The Avalon-ST Video protocol is designed to be most efficient for transferring video
data, therefore the symbol bit width and the number of symbols transferred in parallel
(that is, in one clock cycle) are defined by the parameters of the video data packet
types (refer to
Video data packets transmit video data between the MegaCore functions. A video
data packet contains the color plane values of the pixels for an entire progressive
frame or an entire interlaced field.
The video data is sent per pixel in a raster scan order. The pixel order is as follows:
1. From the top left of the image right wards along the horizontal line.
2. At the end of the current line, jump to the left most pixel of the next horizontal line
3. Go right wards along the horizontal line.
4. Repeat
The following two static parameters specify the Avalon-ST interface that video
systems use:
