Description
The GS1661A is a multi-rate SDI integrated Receiver which
includes complete SMPTE processing, as per SMPTE 292M
and SMPTE 259M-C. The SMPTE processing features can be
bypassed to support signals with other coding schemes.
The GS1661A integrates Gennum's adaptive cable
equalizer technology, achieving unprecedented cable
lengths and jitter tolerance. It features DC restoration to
compensate for the DC content of SMPTE pathological
signals.
The device features an Integrated Reclocker with an
internal VCO and a wide Input Jitter Tolerance (IJT) of
0.7UI.
A serial digital loop-through output is provided, which can
be configured to output either reclocked or non-reclocked
serial digital data. The serial digital output can be
connected to an external cable driver.
The device operates in one of four basic modes: SMPTE
mode, DVB-ASI mode, Data-Through mode or Standby
mode.
In SMPTE mode (the default operating mode), the GS1661A
performs full SMPTE processing, and features a number of
data integrity checks and measurement capabilities.
The device also supports ancillary data extraction, and can
provide entire ancillary data packets through
host-accessible registers. It also provides a variety of other
packet detection and error handling features. All of these
processing features are optional, and may be individually
enabled or disabled through register programming.
In DVB-ASI mode, sync word detection, alignment and
8b/10b decoding is applied to the received data stream.
In Data-Through mode all forms of SMPTE and DVB-ASI
processing are disabled, and the device can be used as a
simple serial to parallel converter.
The device can also operate in a lower power Standby
mode. In this mode, no signal processing is carried out and
the parallel output is held static.
