decoded audio can be used for mixing with other audio for output along one of
the audio outputs. The sample rate is determined by the S/PDIF source, and
cannot be software controlled.

General Purpose Interfaces
VIP and QVCP share a set of pins with two general purpose interface modules, FGPI
and FGPO (respectively). The input and output data routers allocate a different
amount of pins between these four modules. The allocation depends on the operating
mode of each module. The following sections describe the different modes of the
input and output routers.
9.1 Video/Data Input Router
These inputs can provide combinations of the following functions:
capture of video streams into DRAM, while performing horizontal scaling and
conversion to one of the standard pixel formats, simultaneously with data stream
capture
low-latency reception of messages from another PNX15xx Series
capture of unstructured, innite parallel data streams into DRAM
capture of 1 or 2-dimensional parallel data streams in DRAM
for message passing and data modes, operating speeds of up to 100 MHz, with
8-, 16- or 32-bit parallel data are supported, providing an aggregate input
bandwidth of up to 400 MB/s
The VDI pins consist of 38 pins, split into 32 data pins, 2 clock pins and 2 valid signals
that indicate whether data is valid on the respective clocks.
The operating modes of the video/data input router are set by the VDI_MODE MMIO
register. A subset of the operating modes are presented in
Table 6, which combines
