3.8 TSI Capture Mode
The transport stream interface (TSI) capture mode captures MPEG-2 trans-
port data.

TSI Data Capture
Eight-bit parallel data is received on the input data bus. Data is captured on
the rising edge of VCLKIN. The data consists typically of 188-byte packets,
with the first byte a SYNC byte (also called a preamble). The capture packet
length is determined by the value of VCASTOP.
Data on the data bus is considered valid and captured only when the CAPEN
signal is active. TSI data capture begins with a SYNC byte as indicated by
PACSTRT (and CAPEN) active. (The SYNC byte may have any value.) Data
is captured on each VCLK rising edge when CAPEN is active until the entire
packet has been captured, irrespective of additional PACSTRT transitions.
The end-of-packet condition occurs when the 24-bit capture byte counter (as
reflected by the VCYPOS and VCXPOS bits of VCASTAT) equals the value in
the VCYSTOP and VCXSTOP bits of VCASTOP. The captured data includes
both SYNC byte and the data payload as shown in Figure 3–22.
After a packet is captured, the video port waits for the next active PACSTRT
to begin capture of another packet. Received packet data is packed into 64 bits
before being written to the FIFO.
