Video Clock Output to SDI II in Agilex 5

I'm trying to output a video chain using the VVP cores but I can't figure out how to connect the VCO to the SDI II. on Quartus 18.1, the VCO core would output vid_data[19..0], vid_trs, and vid_ln[10...

yes, the Agilex 5

yes, i'm using hte GTS SDI II

there are no similar pins.  Especially if trying to connect the two cores in Platform Designer.

is there no example of how to use the GTS SDI II with the VVP cores?  The two connected seems like it would be the most common use case.

thanks

Hi Rob,

At the moment, we do not offer direct example to connect it.
My best suggestion is compare both signal name between SDI II IP vs GTS SDI II IP and try it.
The signal function will be pretty much similar , just need to be extra careful to check the signal requirement.

    Hi Wincent,

    unfortunately, as I stated earlier, there are no similar pins between the two IP cores.

      Hi aucamera1​ ,

      I check with our design team - the VVP for GTS SDI II connection is available in newer release of Quartus v25.3.1.

      So that features is supported in v25.3.1 for GTS SDI II - Agilex 5. 
      You just need to create a design based on Agilex 5 OPN number, By right the connection shall be ready there. Let me know if you still no getting it.

      Regards,
