3.2. SDI Audio Extract IP Core

The SDI Audio Extract IP core accepts the SD-, HD-, and 3G-SDI from the SDI IP cores and extracts one channel pair of embedded audio.

The format of the embedded audio is in accordance with the following standards:

  • SMPTE272M-ABCD standard for SD-SDI
  • SMPTE299M standard for HD-SDI
  • SMPTE299M standard for 3G-SDI (provisional)

If you are extracting more than one channel pair, you must use multiple instances of the component. This IP core supports AES audio format for 48-kHz sampling rate.

This figure shows a block diagram of the SDI Audio Extract IP core.

The SDI Audio Extract IP core consists of the following components:

  • An audio extraction core
  • A register interface block that provides support for an Avalon-MM control bus

The clock recovery block recreates a 64 × sample rate clock, which you can use to clock the audio output logic. As the component recreates this clock from a 200-MHz reference clock, the created clock may have a higher jitter than is desirable.

A digital PLL synchronizes this created clock to a 24-kHz reference source.

For the HD-SDI embedded audio, the 24-kHz reference source is the embedded clock phase information.

For the SD-SDI embedded audio, where the embedded clock phase data is not present, you can create the 24-kHz reference signal directly from the video clock.

This figure shows the clock recovery block diagram.
