The DisplayPort 1.4 core provides a comprehensive solution for DisplayPort requirements, implementing both source and sink capabilities. It supports link rates ranging from 1.62 Gbps to 8.1 Gbps, fitting standard DisplayPort and eDP scenarios efficiently. Users can take advantage of its support for multiple lanes, specifically 1, 2, and 4 lanes configurations, enabling versatile video interface options such as Native and AXI stream interfaces. This facilitates a strong multimedia performance, catering to both Single Stream Transport (SST) and Multi Stream Transport (MST) modes.
The video processing toolkit accompanying this IP aims at aiding users in diverse video operations. These tools include a timing generator, a versatile test pattern generator, and crucial video clock recovery mechanisms. To simplify the integration into various systems, the IP is supported across a broad range of FPGA devices, including AMD and Intel lines, providing users with choice and flexibility for their specific application needs.
Notably, it supports diverse video formats and color spaces, such as RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0 at pixel depths of 8 and 10 bits. Secondary data packets handling audio and metadata enhance its multimedia capabilities. Furthermore, Parretto offers the source code on GitHub for ease of custom development, ensuring developers have the tools they need to adapt the IP to their unique systems.
