4.14 Data Format Detection & Indication
In addition to detecting the video standard, the GS2961A detects the data format, i.e.
SDTI, SDI, TDM data (SMPTE 346M), etc.
This information is represented by bits in the DATA_FORMAT_DSX register accessible
through the host interface.
Data format detection is only carried out when the LOCKED signal is HIGH.
By default (at power up or after system reset), the DATA_FORMAT_DSX register is set to
Fh (undefined). This register is also set as undefined when the LOCKED signal is LOW
and/or the SMPTE_BYPASS pin is LOW.

Detected data format is not SMPTE.
LOCKED = LOW.
NOTE: This Data Format register is
invalid in SMPTE_BYPASS mode.
The data format is determined using the following criteria:
• If TRS ID words are detected but no SDTI header or TDM header is detected, then
the data format is SDI
• If TRS ID words are detected and the SDTI header is available then the format is
SDTI
• If TRS ID words are detected and the TDM data header is detected then the format is
TDM video
• No TRS words are detected, but the PLL is locked, then the data format is unknown
NOTE: Two data format sets are provided for HD video rates. This is because the Y and
Cr/Cb channels can be used separately to carry SDTI data streams of different data
formats. In SD video mode, only the Y data format register contains the data, and the C
register is set to Fh (undefined format).
