Description
The GS12070 is an UHD-SDI Gearbox which performs the
multiplexing and de-multiplexing necessary to facilitate
conversions between the ST 425-3 and ST 425-5 multi-link
3Gb/s UHD-SDI Interface and the SMPTE ST 2081 (6Gb/s)
and ST 2082 (12Gb/s) Interfaces. A conversion between
4 x 1.5Gb/s and 6Gb/s is also supported.

GS12070 Supported Conversions of SMPTE Standard
Interfaces
The GS12070 features four high-speed differential signal
inputs and four high-speed differential serial outputs
which can be interfaced to 1.2V CML I/O. The high-speed
inputs and outputs include programmable trace
equalization and de-emphasis drivers to compensate for
high-frequency losses associated with board-level
interconnect.
The high-speed serial inputs and outputs support 270Mb/s,
1.5G, 3G, 6G and 12G nominal data rates. The supported
conversions are performed by manually selecting the input
and output rates. Unused output ports at 6G and 12G may
be configured to output a copy of the primary converted
output. A serial bypass mode is also available as a manually
selectable option.
