The VSOUT output is an unmodified signal from the selected source. In analog mode with
separate syncs, it is simply a passthrough from the VSYNC input. If the analog input is
using a composite sync mode, VSOUT is the recovered vertical sync. In DVI mode, VSOUT
is the decoded VSYNC from the serial digital stream.
In analog modes, the HSOUT is a reconstructed version of the HSYNC input or horizontal
sync from the composite sync. Registers allow adjustment of the polarity and duration of
this signal. In DVI mode, HSOUT is the decoded HSYNC from the serial digital stream.
DE is only available in DVI mode. This signal qualifies the pixel data as active pixels. In
analog mode, this signal is high, and the pixels must be qualified elsewhere.
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a digital replacement for analog VGA. It is simply a
digital version of the above described analog interface, with the same scan order and
timing. Instead of analog voltages for the video data, the data is serially encoded digital
values. This method for high-speed serial data is called transition minimized differential
signaling (TMDS). TMDS is a combination of the electrical signal specification and the
encoding scheme. The electrical signal specifications are similar to LVDS. The encoding
scheme results in 10-bit symbols for each 8-bit byte, thus the encoded bit rate is 10x the byte
rate. Each pixel is encoded as a 24-bit value, 8-bits for each color. Just like VGA, each color
is transferred separately, so each color has its own differential pair. This means that the
encoded bit rate is 10x the pixel rate. DVI also requires a separate clock reference signal,
increasing the number of differential pairs to 4. The 10-bit encoding also includes some
special symbols, allowing the sync signals to be included with the green signal (a digital
SOG).
Other than the digital encoding, there is one significant difference in interfacing to DVI.
The TMDS encoding also allows a data enable (DE) signal to be carried with the data. This
signal is very useful to digital systems, as it easily qualifies the data. In the analog VGA
scheme, the only way to know when the data is valid is to know specific timing
relationships with respect to the sync signals.
