6.5.1.9 Video Overlay Support
The GUI block also supports a video overlay function. The
DC has flexible addressing capability for YUV 4:2:2 and
YUV 4:2:0 display surfaces. Video data is stored in a sepa-
rate buffer within the off-screen frame buffer. Independent
surface pitch control is provided for Y and U/V.
The DC fetches the contents of the video and transmits it to
the Video Processor once per frame.
The Video Processor provides enhanced overlay scaling
and filtering options.
The width of the video output port is 32 bits. This allows the
display of high-resolution video source material (up to 1920
horizontal pixels) mixed with high-resolution graphics data.
Table 6-36 illustrates the minimum video port bandwidth
required for a number of different graphics display resolu-
tions.
