OUTPUT CONTROL
0x1F—Bits[7:5] Output Mode
These bits choose between three options for the output mode.
In 4:4:4 mode, RGB is standard. In 4:2:2 mode, YCbCr is
standard, which allows a reduction in the number of output
pins from 24 to 16. In 4:4:4 DDR output mode, the data is in
RGB mode, but changes on every clock edge. The power-up
default setting is 100.

0x1F—Bit[4] Primary Output Enable
This bit places the primary output in active or high impedance
mode. The power-up default setting is 1.

0
Primary output is in high impedance mode

0x1F—Bit[3] Secondary Output Enable
This bit places the secondary output in active or high
impedance mode.
The secondary output is designated when using either 4:2:2 or
4:4:4 DDR. In these modes, the data on the blue output channel is
the secondary output while the output data on the red and green
channels are the primary output. Secondary output is always a
Table 12. The power-up default setting is 0.

0x1F—Bits[2:1] Output Drive Strength
These two bits select the drive strength for all the high-speed
digital outputs (except VSOUT, A0, and the O/E field). Higher
drive strength results in faster rise/fall times and in general
makes it easier to capture data. Lower drive strength results in
slower rise/fall times and helps to reduce EMI and digitally
generated power supply noise. The power-up default setting is 10.

0x1F—Bit[0] Output Clock Invert
This bit allows inversion of the output clock. The power-up
default setting is 0.

0x20—Bits[7:6] Output Clock Select
These bits allow selection of optional output clocks such as a
fixed 40 MHz clock, a 2× clock, a 90° phase-shifted clock, or the
normal pixel clock. The power-up default setting is 00.

0x20—Bit[5] Output High Impedance
This bit puts all outputs (except SOGOUT) in a high impedance
state. The power-up default setting is 0.

0x20—Bit[4] SOG High Impedance
This bit allows the SOGOUT pin to be placed in high impedance
mode. The power-up default setting is 0.

0x20—Bit[3] Field Output Polarity
This bit sets the polarity of the field output bit. The power-up
default setting is 1.
