The Amlogic Meson Display controller is composed of several components
that are going to be documented below

VIU: Video Input Unit
---------------------
The Video Input Unit is in charge of the pixel scanout from the DDR memory.
It fetches the frames addresses, stride and parameters from the "Canvas" memory.
This part is also in charge of the CSC (Colorspace Conversion).
It can handle 2 OSD Planes and 2 Video Planes.
VPP: Video Post Processing
--------------------------
The Video Post Processing is in charge of the scaling and blending of the
various planes into a single pixel stream.
There is a special "pre-blending" used by the video planes with a dedicated
scaler and a "post-blending" to merge with the OSD Planes.
The OSD planes also have a dedicated scaler for one of the OSD.
VENC: Video Encoders
--------------------
The VENC is composed of the multiple pixel encoders
- ENCI : Interlace Video encoder for CVBS and Interlace HDMI
- ENCP : Progressive Video Encoder for HDMI
- ENCL : LCD LVDS Encoder
The VENC Unit gets a Pixel Clocks (VCLK) from a dedicated HDMI PLL and clock
tree and provides the scanout clock to the VPP and VIU.
The ENCI is connected to a single VDAC for Composite Output.
The ENCI and ENCP are connected to an on-chip HDMI Transceiver.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
