To support (2) standard input channels, multiple input types per channel, and multiple windows in an embedded application, the VP13 offers a comprehensive approach for automatic detection, conversion, and windowing of many video formats.  Each input channel can have multiple, prioritized video input modes associated with it.  A mode consists of the input type (DVI, VGA. CVBS, etc), video timing, and associated window parameters.

Each input channel has a mode selection subsystem to scan for defined modes per a user-defined methodology. The VP13 can scan defined modes associated with a specific input type (such as VGA), all input types on that channel, or a specific mode identifier.  At power up, each channel’s mode selection subsystem initiates an automated scan. Once a mode is matched (either exactly or within pre-defined limits), that video input is displayed in its window(s) per the mode’s associated window parameters (input area-of-interest, window size, window location).
