Laboratories support SMPTE conformity testing
New video and broadcast applications engineering labs have been opened by Gennum, allowing its customers to test and debug standard and high definition based systems.
The introduction of the GS1532 serialiser and GS1560 deserialiser rounds out the HD-Linx II family.
Other members of this HD/SD multirate SDI chipset include the GS1524 cable equaliser, the GS1528 cable driver and the GS1535 reclocker.
They were developed in 0.18-micron CMOS for low power consumption and high integration.
In addition, this transmit and receive pair has such features as SMPTE scrambling and descrambling, integrated word-alignment, TRS and line-number insertion and checking, ANC support, internal flywheel and a bypass for non-SMPTE signals.
The inputs to the serialiser and outputs of the deserialiser can be a 10 or 20bit parallel bus at 13.5, 27, 74.25 or 148.5MHz.
The GS1560 deserialiser provides dual serial digital input buffers with a 2 x 1 multiplexer.
Both chips contain an internal cable driver for their serial outputs.
The GS1560 deserialiser contains an internal reclocker and supports automatic or manual rate selection/indication.
