For the hardware setup to run the reference design, follow these steps:

  1. Connect the Nextera 12G SDI FMC daughter card to the FMC port on the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit. For more information, refer to the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit and Nextera 12G SDI FMC Daughter Card figure.
  2. Set the remaining DIP switches to the default factory settings. For more information, refer to the DIP Switch Settings table in the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit User Guide.
  3. Connect the Nextera daughter card BNC RX connector (J1/12G IN) to the SDI Signal Generator and the Nextera daughter card BNC TX connector (J2/12G OUT) to the SDI Signal Analyzer.
  4. Connect the USB cable to the Micro USB Blaster connector on the development kit.
  5. Connect the power adapter (packaged together with the development board) to the power supply jack.
  6. Turn on the power for the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit. The hardware system is now ready for programming.
  7. Complete the following steps to configure the output clock frequencies of the programmable clock generator (Si5332) used in the reference design:
    1. Download and unzip the Kit Collateral.zip design package from the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit web page.
    2. Launch the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software and then run the Clock Controller.exe application from the cyclone-10-gx-kit-collateral\examples\board_test_system directory.
    3. Set the OUT1 frequency to 148.5 MHz and the OUT6 frequency to 125 MHz on the Si5332(U64) tab. For more information, refer to the Clock Controller GUI for Si5332 figure.
    4. Close the Clock Controller application.

  8. To switch between the fractional frame rate and integer frame rate video formats, follow these steps:
    1. Change the jumper (J8) position on the Nextera 12G-SDI FMC daughter card based on the setting in the Jumper Settings for Switching between PAL and NTSC. For more information, refer to the Jumper Settings on the Nextera 12G-SDI FMC Daughter Card figure.
    2. Press the push button (PB1) on the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit to trigger a power cycle to the LMK03328 on the Nextera 12G-SDI FMC daughter card every time you change the jumper (J8) position.

      J8
      • 1–2 for PAL
      • 2–3 for NTSC

      To switch frequency between PAL and NTSC for the TX channel:

      • Pin 1–2 = 297 MHz
      • Pin 2–3 = 297/1.001 MHz
      J9 1–2

      To select the SDI or IP mode:

      • Pin 1–2 = SDI mode
      • Pin 2–3 = IP mode
