Reduce the cost of multichannel SD/HD/3G-SDI designs through integration of SMPTE compliant SDI interfaces alongside audio/video processing in a Xilinx FPGA.

The Serial Digital Interface (SDI), is widely used in broadcast applications for the transport of uncompressed SD and HD digital video streams over coax cable. The LogiCORE™ IP Triple-Rate SDI interface solution provides receiver and transmitter interfaces for the SMPTE SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI standards.

Key Features

Standards compliance:

  • SMPTE 259 (SD-SDI)
  • SMPTE 292 (HD-SDI)
  • SMPTE 372 (Dual Link HD-SDI)
  • SMPTE 424 and 425 (3G-SDI) including levels A, B-DL, and B-DS
  • SMPTE 352 (Payload ID)
  • SMPTE RP-165 (SD-SDI EDH)

Triple-Rate SDI receiver features:

  • A single reference clock frequency supports reception of five different bit rates:
    • 270 Mb/s SD-SDI
    • 1.485 Gb/s HD-SDI
    • 1.485/1.001 Gb/s HD-SDI
    • 2.97 Gb/s 3G-SDI
    • 2.97/1.001 Gb/s 3G-SDI
  • Automatically detects incoming SDI standard and bit rate
  • Automatically detects video transport format
  • Detects and captures SMPTE 352 packets
  • Checks for CRC errors for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI
  • Optionally checks for EDH errors for SD-SDI

Triple-Rate SDI transmitter features:

  • Only two reference clock frequencies are required to transmit five different bit rates:
    • 270 Mb/s SD-SDI
    • 1.485 Gb/s HD-SDI
    • 1.485/1.001 Gb/s HD-SDI
    • 2.97 Gb/s 3G-SDI
    • 2.97/1.001 Gb/s 3G-SDI
  • Generates and inserts CRC and line numbers for HD-SDI and 3G-SDI
  • Generates and inserts EDH packets for SD-SDI
  • Generates and inserts SMPTE 352 packets for all SDI standards
 

 1. What are the new features in the SMPTE SDI LogiCORE™ IP?

See the IP Release Notes for new features.

 2. Which Xilinx FPGA families and speed grades does the SMPTE SDI core support?

The core targets all 7 series FPGA families and Zynq™-7000 EPP devices although hardware testing has only been performed on Kintex™-7 FPGAs to date.

 3. What are the target applications for this product?

The SMPTE SDI core is primarily targeted at professional audio equipment in the broadcast and high end A/V markets. Target applications include production switchers, routers, mixing desks, audio recorders and editing stations. However the SMPTE SDI core can also be used in medical imaging, aerospace and defense and high end consumer applications as well where highest quality uncompressed video transport is required.

 4. Do you support Embedded Audio (AES3 streams in SDI)?

Yes. We have a pre-release reference design. Please contact your distributor or Xilinx FAE for access to the pre-release embedded audio designs.

 5. Has the SMPTE SDI core been verified on hardware?

Yes. The core has been fully tested and verified on the KC705 platform with the TED/Inrevium SDI FMC.

 8. Where can I find a list of known issues?

See IP Release Notes for known issues, new features and patches
