Sync Measurement
2.6 Sync Measurement
The Input Sync Measurement (SMEAS) block continuously detects activity from all video sources.
The module can measure the characteristics of the sync signals on any input port. The sync
measurement module reports the results of the measurements to the system microcontroller.
This portion of the sync measurement is fully synchronous on the crystal clock (XCLK). Another
block, the Sync Retiming Block (SRT), handles the asynchronous signal transfer of the incoming
sync signals.

0x0
Enable activity detection in free-running
mode.

0x0
Freeze results in free-running mode. No
meaning in one shot mode.
0: Do not freeze the results. New result will
be available on the next and subsequent
toggle of the polling bit.
1: Freeze the current results. The polling bit
will still toggle and the block continues to
free-run; however, results will not be
updated.

activity detection start.
In one-shot mode it triggers the start of a
measurement and is reset to zero when the
measurement is complete.
