Video expansion port (X-port)
As output, these are direct copies of the decoder signals.
The expansion port is intended for transporting video
streams image data from other digital video circuits like
MPEG encoder/decoder and video phone codec, to the
image port (I-port).
The data transfers through the expansion port represent a
single D1 port, with half duplex mode. The SAV and EAV
codes may be inserted optionally for data input (controlled
by bit XCODE[92H[3]]). The input/output direction is
switched for complete fields, only.
The expansion port consists of two groups of signals/pins:
• 8-bit data, I/O, regularly components video
YUV 4 : 2 : 2, i.e. CB-Y-CR-Y, byte serial, exceptionally
raw video samples (e.g. ADC test). In input mode the
data bus can be extended to 16-bit by the pins
HPD7 to HPD0.
• Clock, synchronization and auxiliary signals,
accompanying the data stream, I/O.
