The live video input interface comprises these features.

A 36-bit native video interface is referred to as the live video input in this manual.

A second 36-bit native video interface is referred to as the live graphics input and it has a corresponding 8-bit alpha channel.

Both the video and graphics inputs are expected to be of same resolution and have the same video timing.

The live graphics and live video can be of different bits per component (BPC) or video formats.

Y-only, RGB, YUV444, YUV 422 formats are supported on live video and graphics inputs.

A bits per component (BPC) of 6/8/10/12 is supported on live video/graphics inputs.

The live video output interface comprises these features.

A blended 36-bit video output.

BPC = 12 (always). To use only 8 BPC, truncate the four least significant bits (LSBs).

Supports the RGB, YUV 444, YUV 422, and Y-Only video formats.

When the output format is Y-only, the values on the Cb/Cr can be ignored.

Table: PS-PL Signals for the Live Video Interface shows the PS-PL interface signals for live video interface.

Notes:

1.The PS-PL interface signals for the live video/graphics interface are synchronized with the dp_video_in_clk signal.

This Figure shows the live video timing on the PS-PL interface.
