You are not required to duplicate .sdc script for SDI triple standard
transmitter B and SDI triple standard receiver B in Transceiver Bank 2.
Instances with same video standard can share an .sdc script.
3. Edit the .sdc script so that the reference clock name matches the name of the clock
pin connected to SDI triple standard transmitter A, for example
tx_serial_refclk_top2
. Locate tx_serial_refclk_name in the script and change
to tx_serial_refclk_top2.
4. Edit another .sdc script so that the reference clock name matches the name of the
clock pin connected to SDI triple standard receiver A, for example
rx_serial_refclk_top2
. Locate set rx_serial_refclk_name in the script and
change to rx_serial_refclk_top2.
5. Add these two duplicate .sdc scripts to your project. On the Project menu, click
Add/Remove Files in Project
and browse to select the scripts.
Compiling the Design
You can use the Quartus II software to compile your design. For instructions about
performing compilation, refer to Quartus II Help.
You can find an example design using an SDI MegaCore function in the
ip/sdi/example
directory. This design is targeted at the Stratix II GX audio video
development kit.

Programming a Device
After you have compiled the example design, you can program your targeted Altera
device to verify the design in hardware.
With Altera's free OpenCore Plus evaluation feature, you can evaluate the SDI
MegaCore function before you obtain a license. OpenCore Plus evaluation allows you
to generate an IP functional simulation model, and produce a time-limited
programming file.
