Abstract
A programmable video output format (VOF) generator that enables a processing system to drive different video display devices with varying video format requirements. The programmable VOF generator includes a compiler that generates video formats based on user input, and a state machine that generates all video signals with requisite output format. The compiler allows the user to provide minimal information on general display parameters using a high-level language. Therefore, no specialized knowledge of the video display hardware requirements is required from the user.
