The SDI II IP core implements a transmitter, receiver, or full-duplex SDI at standard definition (SD), high
definition (HD), or 3 gigabits per second (3G) to 12G rate as defined by the Society of Motion Picture and
Television Engineers (SMPTE). The SDI II IP core supports dual standard (SD-SDI and HD-SDI), triple
standard (SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI) and multi standard (SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and
12G-SDI). These modes provide automatic receiver rate detection and transceiver dynamic reconfigura‐
tion.
The SDI II IP core highlights the following new features:
• Supports 28 nm devices and beyond.
• Arria V GX and Stratix V from Quartus II version 12.1 onwards
• Arria V GZ and Cyclone V from Quartus II version 13.0 onwards
• Arria 10 from Quartus II version 14.0A10 onwards
• Improved integration with Altera tools (
hw.tcl
).
• IEEE encryption for functional simulation.
• Dynamic generation of user simulation testbench that matches the IP configuration.
• Dynamic generation of design example that serves as common entity for simulation and hardware
verification.
General Description
The SMPTE defines a SDI standard that is widely used as an interconnect between equipment in video
production facilities. The SDI II IP core can handle the following SDI data rates:
• 270 megabits per second (Mbps) SD-SDI, as defined by SMPTE259M-1997 10-Bit 4:2:2 Component
Serial Digital Interface
• 1.485 gigabits per second (Gbps) or 1.4835-Gbps HD-SDI, as defined by SMPTE292M-1998 Bit-Serial
Digital Interface for High Definition Television Systems
• 2.97-Gbps or 2.967-Gbps 3G SDI, as defined by SMPTE424M
• 5.94-Gbps or 5.934-Gbps 6G-SDI, as defined by SMPTEST2081
• 11.88-Gbps or 11.868-Gbps 12G-SDI, as defined by SMPTEST2082
• Dual link HD-SDI, as defined by SMPTE372M-Dual Link 1.5Gb/s Digital Interface for 1920×1080 and
2048×1080 Picture Formats
• Dual standard support for SD-SDI and HD-SDI
