The low latency pipeline is shown in This Figure .
It is possible to reduce VCU processing latency from one frame to one-frame/num-slices. The Sync IP element is responsible for synchronizing buffers between the Capture DMA and the VCU encoder, and the VCU Decoder and Display element. The Sync IP does AXI transaction-level tracking so that the producer and consumer can be synchronized at the granularity of AXI transactions instead of granularity at the Video Buffer level. The Low Latency Pipeline has these features:
• Sync IP can track up to four producer transactions simultaneously (four channels)
• Each channel can track up to three buffer sets
• Each buffer set has a luma buffer and chroma buffer
• Each consumer port can hold 256 AXI transactions, without back-pressure to the consumer
• Encoder mode Sync IP supports four simultaneous channels for tracking and control
• Decoder mode Sync IP supports two simultaneous channels for tracking and control
