Development Board Block Diagram
Figure 1–2 shows the functional block diagram of the SDI HSMC. The board has three
distinct areas of interest:
■ SDI
■ AES
■ Clocking
SDI
The SDI includes two high-speed output interfaces from the HSMC to the cable
drivers and to two single-ended 75-
Ω BNC output interfaces. There are also two
receive paths which input signals to two 75- Ω BNC connectors to receive equalizers.
The differential signals are then output to the HSMC connector.
