You could put there APPLE and ORANGE enum values, and it'd still work =)

It may be really a bool. TRM says "This may be used to
correct for inversion in an external video amplifier". I don't think
there are any digital on/off signals in analog video output, so I'm
guessing it's really inverting (some parts of) the analog signal. If so,
a boolean invert field sounds correct to me.

Actually, check this out:

A monster url, here's a tinyurl version: http://tinyurl.com/clceb6t

2.16 section there shows signal polarities. I'm not sure if it's the
same one that we're discussing, but sounds like it.

I don't think ACTIVE_LOW/HIGH fits into that kind of polarity. Perhaps a
bool is not quite right for it either, as I'm not sure there's a
"normal" polarity. But I'd go forward with out current bool, and fix it
when somebody who understands this stuff tells us what to do =).

I don't know if other VENC IPs support this or not, but the TRM refers
to external amplifier, so it sounds like a thing that would exist on
other IPs also.
