SMPTE Serial Data Interface (SDI) Verification IP

SMPTE SDI Verification IP is fully compliant with SMPTE SDI Specification. It includes an extensive test suite covering most of the possible scenarios. It performs all possible protocol tests in a directed or a highly randomized fashion which adds the possibility to create the widest range of scenarios to verify the DUT effectively.

SMPTE Serial Data Interface (SDI) Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

SMPTE Serial Data Interface (SDI) Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
