architecture Behavorial of RGBtoHDMI is

    signal shift : std_logic_vector(11 downto 0);

    signal nCSYNC1 : std_logic;
    signal nCSYNC2 : std_logic;

    -- The counter runs at 4x pixel clock
    --
    -- It serves several purposes:
    -- 1. Counts the 12us between the rising edge of nCSYNC and the first pixel
    -- 2. Counts within each pixel (bits 0 and 1)
    -- 3. Counts counts pixels within a quad pixel (bits 2 and 3)
    -- 4. Handles double buffering of alternative quad pixels (bit 4)
    --
    -- At the moment we don't count pixels with the line, the Pi does that
    --
    -- The sequence is basically:
    -- 1280, 1280, ..., 1280, 1281, 1282, ... , 2047
    -- 0, 1, 2, ..., 14, 15  - first quad pixel
    -- 16, 17, 18, ..., 30, 31, -- second quad pixel
    -- ...
    -- 1280, 1280, ..., 1280, 1281, 1282, ... , 2047
