Teletext as Ancillary Data in Video Stream
Sliced teletext data can be output as ancillary data in the video stream in ITU-R BT.656 mode. Teletext data is output
on the Y[7:0] terminals during the horizontal blanking period following the line from which the data was retrieved.
Dummy ancillary data blocks with special timing header information are inserted during certain horizontal blanking
periods to provide data synchronization information. Table 2–8 and Table 2–9 show the format and sequence of the
ancillary data inserted into the video stream.

In the tables above, EP is even parity on the lower 6 bits and NEP is negated even parity. The checksum for teletext
data blocks is the 6 LSBs of the sum of the data bytes. The data ID byte provides timing information. Table 2–10 shows
the possible values of the data ID byte and their meanings.
