Ports

Input

wrData — Input video data

scalar

Input video data from the data source. Specify this value as a scalar.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

wrCtrlIn — Input control signals accompanying pixel stream

pixelControl bus

Control signals accompanying the pixel stream, specified as a pixelcontrol bus containing five signals. The signals describe the validity of the pixel and its location in the frame. For additional information about the pixelcontrol bus type, see AXI4-Stream Video Interface.

Data Types: pixelcontrol

rdCtrlIn — Ready signal from downstream interface

boolean scalar

Control signal that indicates if the block can send video data to downstream interface. When this value is (true), the downstream block is ready to receive data.

Output

rdData — Output video data

scalar

Output video data to the downstream destination IP.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

rdCtrlOut — Output control signals accompanying output pixel stream

pixelcontrol bus

Control signals accompanying the output video data, specified as a pixelcontrol bus containing five signals. The signals describe the validity of the pixel and its location in the frame.

Data Types: pixelcontrol

wrCtrlOut — Ready signal to the upstream interface

boolean scalar

Control signal that indicates that the block can receive stream data from upstream interface.

Data Types: Boolean
