AMD Geode™ LX Processors Data Book 475
Video Input Port 33234H
6.9.10 Software Model

The VIP receives data and stores it into system memory.

The VIP input modes with associated data types are shown

in Table 6-74. VIP 2.0 is the VESA VIP 2.0 Level I (8-bit)

standard or the VESA VIP 2.0 Level II (16-bit) standard.

VIP 1.1 is the VESA (8-bit) standard in which only a single

video stream is supported and the TASK bit is used to dis-

tinguish between video and VBI data. MSG is the 8-bit

Message Passing mode, and STRM, the Data Streaming

mode, provides support for generic 8-bit data streaming.

MSG and STRM modes are proprietary data transfer for-

mats and are not defined in the VESA VIP specification.

Table 6-74 defines the data types received in each mode.

VIP 2.0 supports nine different data types. This allows

reception of two separate video streams (Task A and B)

plus ancillary data. VIP 1.1 mode supports five data types

(Task A only). One data type is associated with the MSG

and STRM modes.
