Description

The SE50-3G-SDI is a small footprint mini-PCIe board with support for 3G/SDI videos. It uses PolarFire MPF300T-1FCVG484E FPGA for processing and to interface to the host. A TI LMH0397 chip is used for 3G/SDI functionality. It has 2 U.FL connectors which can be used as 2 Outputs or as one Input and one Output.

There is a complete BSP for supporting RedHat 7.9 or Ubuntu 20.04 for the host operating system. For detailed information, please contact the Sundance support team. Below is a short list of features and functions available as part of BSP:

  • Support for 3G and SDI, RAW and Formatted modes
  • Support for two modes of operation:
    • Idle/Capture.
    • Playback
  • Ability to read from the host and send to output
  • Ability to capture and write to the host and save to file
  • Capture and send to output
  • Supports Y C′bC′r 4:2:2 formats:
    • 10bit: 1080p30, 720p60, 1080p60, 1080p25, 720p50, 1080p50;
    • 12bit: 1080p30, 1080p25;
    • Support of 30/1.001 & 60/1.001 variants;
  • RGB 4:4:4 format: 10bit: 1080p24;
