Verification: VESA Adaptive-Sync V2 Operation in DisplayPort VIP

Vaibhav Sirvi

Need for Synchronization
In a computer system, both the GPU as well as the monitor have a certain rate at which they render or update an image, respectively. The rate is nothing but the frequency at which the image is refreshed (updated in the image it shows/displays), usually expressed in hertz, and can vary based on the content displayed on the screen.

Figure 1: Refresh rate requirements under different application…
