1.5.1. Connection and Settings Guidelines
Before programing with the .sof file, ensure that the connections and settings are correct.
Connections and Settings for HD/3G-SDI Single Rate and Triple Rate Designs
- For parallel loopback design, the on-board SMB RX connector (J20) connects to an external video source and the on-board SMB TX connector (J21) connects to a video analyzer.
- For serial loopback design, the on-board SMB TX connector (J21) connects to an on-board SMB RX connector (J20) or a video analyzer.
- Ensure all switches on the development board are in default position.
- The SDI video analyzer displays the video generated from the source.
Note: For parallel loopback designs, you may need to switch the Si516_FS (SW6.3) at the back of the board if you are switching between fractional frame rate and integer frame rate video format.

Connections and Settings for Multi Rate Design
- A VIDIO™ FMC Development Module VIDIO-12G-A (Nextera 12G SDI FMC daughter card) connects to the FMC Port B on the development board.
- For parallel loopback design, the BNC RX connector (J1/12G In) connects to an external video source and the TX connector (J2/12G Out) connects to a video analyzer.
- For serial loopback design, the BNC TX connector (J2/12G Out) connects to the BNC RX connector (J1/12G In) or a video analyzer.
- Ensure all switches on the development board are in default position.
- The SDI video analyzer displays the video generated from the source.
Note: Change the jumper (J8) position before switching between fractional frame rate and integer frame rate video formats. Press the push button (PB0) to trigger a device (LMK03328) power cycling through the PDN pin every time you change the jumper (J8) position.
