GTS SDI II IP Core not producing correct tx_vid_clkout frequency
I'm using an Agelix 5 (the Altera development board) with Quartus Pro 25.3.1 w/patch 1.02.
i'm trying to set-up the GTS SDI II IP Core (version 2.3.0)
on the Main screen, the only configurable values are:
- Video Standard = HD-SDI
- Direction = Transmitter
- Insert payload ID = off
- SDI_II wrapper = Both BASE and PHY
everything else is grayed out.
I have connected the tx_pll_refclk to the 148.5MHz input. I do see the tx_pll_locked signal behave as expected and it does lock.
the problem is when I look at the tx_vid_clkout signal its 58.3MHz. I expected it to be 74.25MHz.
I'm somewhat confused as to whether tx_pll_refclk should be 148.5MHz or 74.25MHz, but if the 148.5 is wrong then I would have expected tx_vid_clkout to be twice, not a somewhat random value of 58.3MHz.
when I reconfigured the IP core for 3G-SDI, the tx_vid_clkout frequency doubled to 116MHz. The doubling would be what I expected, but still a wrong frequency.
i'm not sure what i'm setting wrong and why i'm getting a clkout of 58.3MHz
