3.12.1 Handling FIFO Overrun Condition in TSI Capture Mode

In case of a FIFO overrun, the COVRx bit is set in VPIS. This condition initiates
an interrupt to the DSP, if the overrun interrupt is enabled (setting the COVRx
bit in VPIE enables overrun interrupt).
The overrun interrupt routine should set the BLKCAP bit in VCxCTL and it
should reconfigure DMA channel settings. The DMA channel must be reconfi-
gured for capture of the next frame since the current frame transfer failed. Set-
ting the BLKCAP bit flushes the capture FIFO and blocks DMA events for the
channel. As long as the BLKCAP bit is set, the video capture channel ignores
the incoming data but the internal data counter continues counting.
The BLKCAP bit should be cleared to 0 in order to continue capture. Clearing
the BLKCAP bit takes effect on the next PACSTRT. (DMA events are still going
to be blocked in the TSI packet in which the BLKCAP bit is cleared.)

single frame capture is enabled, capture is disabled until the DSP clears
the FRMC bit.
