13 years agoSync multiple Stratix V Advanced Systems Development Board via PCIe
Hi everyone!
I'm pretty new to Altera Devices so please excuse my (maybe foolish) question :) For a future project i need to sync "SDI"-output over multiple cards maybe also over multiple workstations. This should be done by using the VITC of the videodata. My question is: Could I transfer a sync-signal over PCIe to the other cards? If yes, is the signal fast enough to make all cards start output at once (I think i need preciseness in milliseconds)? Like i said I'm new to altera and the whole problem of synchronisation, also to the use of PCIe. If u got some links to papers or tutorials which fit my problem or my needs would be really helpfull :) thanks in advance heiko
