The Video Processing Front End (VPFE) is an input interface module that receives raw
image/video data or YUV digital video data from external imaging peripherals such as
image sensors. VPFE supports following features:
- Support for conventional Bayer pattern and Foveon sensor formats.
- Generates HD/VD timing signals and field ID to an external timing generator
or can synchronize to the external timing generator
- Support for progressive (non-interlaced) and interlaced sensors
- Support for up to 110-MHz sensor clock.
- Support for REC656/CCIR-656 standard (YCbCr 422 format, either 8- or
16-bit).
- Support for YCbCr 422 format, either 8- or 16-bit with discrete HSYNC and
VSYNC signals.
- Support for up to 16-bit input.
