DisplayPort & Video Scaler Reference Design

Implements DisplayPort Connectivity Including Video Upscaling

The Lattice Drive™ DisplayPort & Video Scaler Reference Design is based on CertusPro-NX. It shows a Lattice CertusPro-NX device receiving video from a DisplayPort source, scaling the resolution up or down and transmitting the video out to a DisplayPort sink. This design is built using Lattice DisplayPort and Lattice Video Scaler IPs.

The Reference Design utilizes the CertusPro-NX Evaluation Board with the Modular FMC Adapter. The Adapter is mounted with both the DisplayPort Transmitter Daughter Card and the DisplayPort Receiver Daughter Card. The Demo needs to be connected to a DisplayPort video source and a DisplayPort video sink.

Additional status information which is also available for the debug process can be displayed through a terminal interface using a UART connection. It shows both DisplayPort Rx and Tx configuration and link training information.

Features

  • Multiple bitstreams with 2 pixel per clock (PPC) and 4PPC configurations with upscaling and downscaling capabilities
  • Supported upscaling configurations for 2 PPC from 720p to 1440p and for 4 PPC from 1080p to 2160p
  • Supported downscaling configurations for 2 PPC from 1440p to 720p and for 4 PPC from 2160p to 1080p
  • Design built with Lattice DisplayPort IP and Video Scaler IP
  • Hardware built using Lattice boards: CertusPro-NX Evaluation Board with the Modular FMC Adapter using the DisplayPort Receiver Daughter Card and the DisplayPort Transmitter Daughter Card
