    I'm looking to execute the pass through using HSMC Bitec DVI card. I put in my design the clocked video input connected to the clocked video output , but I didn't have any result.

    Please can someone help me in this problem.

    I'm not sure which ref desgin you guys are talking about, but...

    I used the HSMC to Displayport card.

    I tried the output side, but it was working fine.

    I've tried on the A2GX and S4GX as well.

    and both working fine with me.

    I am trying the same thing as you..The cyclone 3 example has a stupid mistake which I discovered today.It doesnot have the constraints file added from to it for CVI and CVO...

    The path to add them is:

    add the altera .v files.

    C:\altera\10.0sp1\ip\altera\clocked_video_input\src_hdl

    and also the sdc constraints file which is in the link

    C:\altera\10.0sp1\ip\altera\clocked_video_input

    Add for both CVI and CVO..

    For more reference look the design

    http://www.bitec.ltd.uk/dvi_loopthrough_1080p_civ.pdf

    It is same deign but just with cyclone IV.

    Alteast the design synthesis successfully.U can add the files which are added in this design to the eg of cyclone 3 design and it works..

    I prefer to create my own design, similar to the example but more logical.If it doesnot work I can upload it here in future.

    Hope it helps..

    Hi,

    I got the code working on the DVI board Cyclone 3.The pre compiled code J8.sof can be successfully downloaded but when if I compile and synthesize the code on my own I have some errors but the precompiled code from bitec is working fine.

    If anyone needs help let me know!!
