4.3.14.2 Functional Description
There are three timing modes supported by the IPU.
4.3.14.2.1 Pseudo BT.656 Video Mode
Smart camera sensors, which include imaging processing, usually support video mode transfer. They use
an embedded timing syntax to replace the SENSB_VSYNC and SENSB_HSYNC signals. The timing
syntax is defined by the BT.656 standard.
This operation mode follows the recommendations of ITU BT.656 specifications. The only control signal
used is SENSB_PIX_CLK. Start-of-frame and active-line signals are embedded in the data stream. An
active line starts with a SAV code and ends with a EAV code. In some cases, digital blanking is inserted in
between EAV and SAV code. The CSI decodes and filters out the timing-coding from the data stream, thus
recovering SENSB_VSYNC and SENSB_HSYNC signals for internal use.
