Frequently Asked Question

Is the VDATA bus the only interface to input/output video/pixel data?

VDATA does not have to be used to input pixel data.

It is possible to use the HDATA bus alone for uncompressed pixel data/ compressed data transfers. This is faciliated in using the 2 DMA channels provided by the ADV202/212.

Using the HDATA interface alone for transfer of compressed/uncompressed data is called Host Interface Pixel Interface [HIPI] mode.
