1.5.3 Master Mode
Horizontal sync (HSYNC*) and vertical sync (VSYNC*) are generated from
internal timing and from optional software bits. HSYNC* and VSYNC* are
output following the rising edge of CLK.
The HSYNC* output may be configured to have standard video timing (4.7
μ
s
wide, asserted at start of a line default after RESET cycle) or it may be
programmed to specify the start of HSYNC* (10-bit value) and the end of
HSYNC* (10-bit value). VSYNC* is asserted for 3 scan lines for 262/525 line
formats and 2.5 scan lines for 312/625 line formats (except for PAL-N which is 3
scan lines). When HSYNC* is configured for standard video timing, coincident
falling edges of HSYNC* and VSYNC* indicate the beginning of the first field
(CCIR convention). Auto mode detection is not applicable under master mode
operation.

NOTE(S):
(1)
In slave mode, since Front Porch timing is triggered by the previous HSYNC pulse, any deviation from nominal line length
can affect the front porch duration.
(2)
PAL-N
c
refers to the PAL format used in Argentina (Combination N).
3. HCNT refers to the number of luminance pixel periods; there are twice as many CLK periods as HCNT periods.
4. Odd counts at front porch transitions indicate invalid chroma framing.
