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...

Hi Tricky,

I guess I forgot to mention in my last post that my video system uses 8-bits per colour (2 colour planes in parallel i.e. Y/C) including the Clocked Video Input. This is why I want to know if there is a way to connect the SDI receiver's 20bit data bus somehow to my CVI's 16bit input bus. I just don't know if truncating the LSB bits will still allow the CVI to interpret the SDI data.

Now I didn't quite understand your response. Can you kindly explain further?

Appreciate your time!
