4.12.23 Video Display Clipping Register (VDCLIP)
The video display clipping register (VDCLIP) is shown in Figure 4–61 and
described in Table 4–28.
The video display module in the BT.656 and Y/C modes performs program-
mable clipping. The clipping is performed as the last step of the video pipeline.
It is applied only on the image areas defined by VDIMGSZn and VDIMGOFFn
inside the active video area (blanking values are not clipped).
VDCLIP allows output values to be clamped within the specified values. The
default values are the BT.601-specified peak black level of 16 and peak white
level of 235 for luma and the maximum quantization levels of 16 and 240 for
chroma. For 10-bit operation, the clipping is applied to the 8 MSBs of the value
with the 2 LSBs cleared. (For example, a Y value of FF.8h is clipped to EB.0h
and a Y value of 0F.4h is clipped to 10.0h.)
