The Video In to AXI4-Stream v1.0 core can pass incomplete or partial video frames while the Video Timing Controller is trying to synchronize to the input video.
The downstream processing IP (for example color space converters, Chroma Resampler, etc) will then hang because they currently are unable to support partial frames.
This is a fairly common scenario (for example during power up) and as a result the video system does not come up properly.
This is a known issue in the ISE 14.2 / Vivado 2012.2 (and older) video cores listed below.
This can be worked around by gating the video data (and associated control signals).
This will prevent video from passing through the Video In To AXI4-Stream core to downstream cores until after the Video Timing Controller has notified the Video In to AXI4-Stream core that the video has been locked.
This can be done by inserting some user logic after the Video In To AXI4-Stream core that discards the partial frames until the VTC is locked and then waits for the SOF signal to be asserted (on tuser).
