Overview

The UHD Serial Digital Interface (UHD-SDI), is widely used in broadcast applications for the transport of uncompressed digital video streams up to 4K resolutions over coax cable. The LogiCORE™ IP UHD- SDI interface solution provides receiver and transmitter interfaces for the SMPTE SD-SDI, HD-SDI,  3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI standards.

The UHD SDI LogiCORE IP can be implemented in Xilinx 7-series and UltraScale FPGAs. Users can implement one to many 4K processing channels including capture and display on a single FPGA using UHD-SDI IP and Video processing cores from Xilinx and its partners.  The UHD SDI LogiCORE IP is designed based on applicable SMPTE standards (SMPTE ST-2081 and SMPTE ST-2082 drafts defining 6G and 12 G interfaces).

Key features

  • SMPTE ST 259: SD-SDI at 270 Mb/s
  • SMPTE RP 165: EDH for SD-SDI
  • SMPTE ST 292: HD-SDI at 1.485 Gb/s and 1.485/1.001 Gb/s
  • SMPTE ST 372: Dual Link HD-SDI (by instantiation of two UHD-SDI cores)
  • SMPTE ST 424: 3G-SDI with data mapped by any ST 425-x mapping at 2.97 Gb/s and 2.97/1.001 Gb/s.SMPTE ST 2081-1: 6G-SDI with data mapped by any ST 2081-x mapping at 5.94 Gb/s and 5.94/1.001 Gb/s (including multi-link 6G-SDI)
  • SMPTE ST 2082-1: 12G-SDI with data mapped by any ST 2082-x mapping at 11.88 Gb/s and 11.88/1.001 Gb/s (including multi-link 12G-SDI)
  • Dual link and Quad link 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI are supported by instantiating two or four UHD-SDI cores

Enabling High Performance SoCs Through Multi-Die Re-use

This paper gives a high-level overview of a technique for rapid design of new IC designs using multiple dice packaged in a variety of aggregations allowing for differnent performance levels and price points to be achieved. The technique relies on a new high-bandwidth low pin-count communication channel between two or more dice.

An HDTV SoC Based on a Mixed Circuit-Switched / NoC Interconnect Architecture (STBus/VSTNoC)

This paper presents the interconnect solution adopted for an HDTV SoC developed in HVD division of STM. The SoC is a one-chip satellite HDTV set-top box IC developed in 65nm technology. The interconnect of this HDTV SoC is the first in STM implementing a mixed archi­tecture based on the circuit-switched interconnect named STBus and the new NoC interconnect named VSTNoC.
