The AMD SMPTE UHD-SDI IP core implements the data path for SDI receivers and transmitters. A complete SDI interface implementation consists of the SMPTE UHD-SDI core, a transceiver (internal to the FPGA or external), and control logic associated with the transceiver. The SMPTE UHD-SDI core supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI (level A, level B-DL, and level B-DS) and dual link HD-SDI standards. The SMPTE UHD-SDI core is validated with the GTX transceivers in AMD Kintex™ 7, AMD Virtex™ 7 FPGA, and AMD Zynq™ 7000 devices and GTH transceiver in AMD UltraScale™ /AMD UltraScale+™ architecture.
