The SMPTE UHD-SDI receiver supports the following features:
- Error checking using the per line CRC values in all modes except SD-SDI. Separate CRC error indicators are available for each of the 16 output elementary data streams.
- Error checking using the RP 165 EDH packets in SD-SDI mode.
- Captures and outputs the line numbers embedded in the signals of all standards except SD-SDI. Separate line number outputs are available for each of the 16 elementary data streams.
- Captures and outputs the ST 352 payload ID packets for all standards. Separate ST 352 packets can be captured simultaneously from eight different elementary data streams. This is the maximum number of data streams that can have ST 352 packets because only one data stream of each data stream pair contains ST 352 packets.
- Optionally, ST 352 payload IP packets can be inserted into the C-stream
- ST 352 payload IP packets received on the C-stream are reported
- All embedded ancillary data is remains present in the data streams output by the RX and can be captured by the use application.
- Automatic SDI mode detection - the RX determines the incoming line rate and configure itself to run at that rate. (This feature can be disabled and the RX forced into any SDI mode.)
- Transport video format detection - the RX determines and reports the transport format used to carry the data streams. This feature is independent of the ST 352 packets that may or may not be embedded in the data streams.
- In 3G-SDI mode, the receiver automatically determines whether the signal is level A or level B without referring to ST 352 information.
- In 6G and 12G-SDI modes, the receiver automatically determines the number of elementary data streams in the multiplexed SDI stream (4, 8, or 16) without referring to ST 352 information.
- The receiver outputs EAV, SAV, and TRS timing signals.
- In 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI modes, the receiver restores the 3FF and 000 values that are modified by the transmitter to meet the sync bit insertion (run length mitigation) feature of these standards.
