Sync Signal Generation; Vertical Blanking, Sync And Even/Odd Frame Signal Timing - Texas Instruments TMS320C64x DSP Reference Manual

Note that the signals can transition at any place along the video line (specified
by the XSTART and XSTOP bits of the appropriate registers). In this case,
VBLNK starts at horizontal count VBLNKXSTART2 = 429 on scan line
VBLNKYSTART2 = 263 (565/60 operation).

Sync Signal Generation

The video display module must generate a number of control signals for both
internal and external use. As seen in section 4.1.2, the HSYNC, HBLNK,
VSYNC, VBLNK, and FLD signals are generated directly from the pixel and
line counters and comparison registers. Several additional signals are also
generated indirectly for use in external control.
A composite blank (CBLNK) signal is generated as the logical-OR of the
HBLNK and VBLNK signals. A composite sync (CSYNC) signal is also gener-
ated as the logical-OR of the HSYNC and VSYNC signals. (This is not a true
analog CSYNC, which must include serration pulses during VSYNC and
equalization pulses during vertical front and back porch periods.) Finally, an
active video (AVID) signal is generated. AVID is the inverted CBLNK signal
indicating when active video data is being output.
Up to three of the eight sync signals may be output on VCTL1, VCTL2, and
VCTL3 as selected by the video display control register (VDCTL). Each signal
may be output in its noninverted or inverted form, as selected by the VCTnP
bits in the video port control register (VPCTL).
