OSD plane

The OSD plane is managed as a set of horizontal bands with a specification comprising

configuration, bitmap and, for CLUT formats, palette information for each region. The OSD

operates in one of two modes, palette mode or true color mode.

●

Palette mode: Each region can be independently specified with a resolution of 8 bpp.

Regions are frame based. Each region palette can support up to 256 colors with up to

24 bits resolution per color entry.

●

True color mode: Each region can be independently specified with a 16 bpp resolution

in one of the following direct color formats: RGB565, ARGB1555, or ARGB444.

A vertical inter-field, anti flicker filter is provided to reduce flicker on interlace displays. It is

available for both palette and true color modes.
