Video Frame Buffer IP Core

Supports Dynamic Parameter Updating through a Parameter Bus

The Video Frame Buffer IP Core buffers video data in external memory to be displayed on output devices such as computer monitors, projectors, and others. The Video Frame Buffer IP Core supports image sizes up to 4K x 4K with YCbCr 4:2:2, 4:4:4 and RGB video formats. The IP supports dynamic parameter updating through the AXI4-Lite interface or native parameter bus interface, which can be configured to operate on a different clock from the IP.

Resource Utilization details are available in the IP Core User Guide.
