2.3. 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 SMPTE ST 259-1997 10-Bit 4:2:2 Component Serial Digital Interface
  • 1.485 gigabits per second (Gbps) or 1.4835-Gbps HD-SDI, as defined by SMPTE ST 292-1998 Bit-Serial Digital Interface for High Definition Television Systems
  • 2.97-Gbps or 2.967-Gbps 3G-SDI, as defined by SMPTE ST 424
  • 5.94-Gbps or 5.934-Gbps 6G-SDI, as defined by SMPTE ST 2081
  • 11.88-Gbps or 11.868-Gbps 12G-SDI, as defined by SMPTE ST 2082
