1. stiH display hardware IP
---------------------------
The STMicroelectronics stiH SoCs use a common chain of HW display IP blocks:
- The High Quality Video Display Processor (HQVDP) gets video frames from a video decoder and does high quality video processing, including scaling.
- The Compositor is a multiplane, dual-mixer (Main & Aux) digital processor. It
has several inputs:
- The graphics planes are internally processed by the Generic Display
Pipeline (GDP).
- The video plug (VID) connects to the HQVDP output.
- The cursor handles ... a cursor.
- The TV OUT pre-formats (convert, clip, round) the compositor output data
- The HDMI / DVO / HD Analog / SD analog IP builds the video signals
- DVO (Digital VideoOutput) handles a 24bits parallel signal
- The HD analog signal is typically driven by a YCbCr cable, supporting up to
1080i mode.
- The SD analog signal is typically used for legacy TV
- The VTG (Video Timing Generators) build Vsync signals used by the other HW IP
Note that some stiH drivers support only a subset of thee HW IP.

2. DRM / HW mapping
-------------------
These IP are mapped to the DRM objects as following:
- The CRTCs are mapped to the Compositor Main and Aux Mixers
- The Framebuffers and planes are mapped to the Compositor GDP (non video
buffers) and to HQVDP+VID (video buffers)
- The Cursor is mapped to the Compositor Cursor
- The Encoders are mapped to the TVOut
- The Bridges/Connectors are mapped to the HDMI / DVO / HD Analog / SD analog
