Industry’s only bidirectional SDI I/O integrates EQ,
Cable Driver and return loss networks
Rx Mode (EQ)
• Cable Reach
- 120m @ 3G
- 200m @ HD
- 400m @ SD
• 100Ω LVDS Rx outputs
• Auto sleep functionality
• Cable length indicator
Tx Mode (Driver)
Return Loss
• Fast rise/fall time (70 ps) • Integrated return loss

3G/HD/SD Video Clock Generator with Audio Clock
• Generates SMPTE Video (3G/HD/SD) & Audio clocks
Features
• Leading jitter performance: 40psp-p output jitter
• Low system BOM: Eliminates 3 external VCXO/PLLs
• Broadcast video cameras, video capture, conversion,
processing, editing and distribution equipment.
Target Apps
– Format converters: Provides simultaneous dual 3G/HD clocks
needed by FPGAs for format conversion (3G & 3G/1.001)
– Audio embed/de-embed: Low jitter synchronous Audio and
Video clocks generated
• Digital still & motion (prosumer) cameras
– Provides multiple top of frame pulses
