11 years agoHello mbp2014,
finally I was able to acquire SDI signal, but I used the SDI II IP. No way the SDI IP worked for me. With Quartus 13.1 and SDI II IP all worked for me. Anyway, I used a reconfigurator: the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller (alt_xcvr_reconfig). The only setting I decided is Number of reconfiguration interfaces = 1. I tied the "reconfig_to_xcvr" and "reconfig_from_xcvr" with the corrispondent signal in the SDI II IP. The other signals are all untied (not used, in fact I don't want to control dinamically the reconfigurator). The IP works well and gives useful informations as line number, format of the video in ecc. It's capable to output 20 bit format video, so I had to cut 2 bits for plane because I had a 16 bit interface. But all went well. I hope the same for you. Bye
