PG289 - SMPTE UHD- Transmitter Subsystem LogiCORE IP Product Guide (PG289) (v2.0)

Describes the SMPTE UHD-SDI transmitter subsystem which implements SDI transmit interface to accept video from an AXI4-Stream Video interface and output Native Video stream. Allows for fast selection of the top-level parameters and automates most of the lower level parameterization.

View Product Guide

PG290 - SMPTE UHD-SDI Receiver Subsystem LogiCORE IP Product Guide (PG290) (v2.0)

Implements an SDI receive interface in accordance with the serial digital interface (SDI) family of standards. The subsystem receives video from a native SDI interface and generates AXI4-Stream video. The subsystem allows fast selection of the top level parameters and automates most of the lower level parameterization.
