SD-SDI 8bit

Hello, SD-SDI megacore supports SD-SDI 10bit mode, however I need 8 bit support. Is it possible to use 8bit mode or it will be impossible to sync the signal? If two LSB bits will be left unconnect...

Socrates,

You talked about connecting TX_DATA[0] <= TX_DATA[9]; TX_DATA[1] <= TX_DATA[8] between SDI Tx block and CVO output.

I have a 8-bit video system as well but I want to connect SDI Rx block's RX_DATAOUT[19:0] to the Clocked Video Input. Can I just drop the 1 LSB from each byte when connecting to the CVI block? Will this work?

Appreciate any suggestions!
