This 8-bit register is cascaded with Start V_Blank High Register to form a 9-bit
start_vertical_blank register. During normal operation, it specifies the line number (n) to start
ignoring pixel input data (and what line number to start blanking the output video) each odd
field; for even fields, it occurs on line (n + 262) or (n + 313).
The leading edge of VSYNC at the start of an odd field is count 000

(note that this does not
follow standard NTSC or PAL line numbering). This register is ignored unless BLANK is con-

During normal operation, this 8-bit register specifies the line number (n) to start inputting pixel

even fields, it occurs on line (n + 262) or (n + 313).

Field Detect
Window Size Low
This 8-bit register is cascaded with Field Detect Window Size High to form a 9-bit Field Detect
Window Size value. The value specifies the number of 1x clock cycles in the detection window
before and after the selected edge of VSYNC. It may range from 0 to 511. If the leading edge
of HSYNC occurs within the window, it is the start of an odd or even field, as specified by the
FIELD Detect Select bit. This register is ignored unless HSYNC and VSYNC are configured
as inputs.
