HD-SDI, HDMI, and Tempus Fugit
TECHNICALL Y SPEAKING... By Steve Somers, Vice President of Engineering HD-SDI, HDMI, and Tempus Fugit D-SDI (high definition serial digital interface) and HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) Hversion 1.3 are receiving considerable attention these days. “These days” really moved ahead rapidly now that I recall writing in this column on HD-SDI just one year ago. And, exactly two years ago the topic was DVI and HDMI. To be predictably trite, it seems like just yesterday. As with all things digital, there is much change and much to talk about. HD-SDI Redux difference channels suffice with one-half 372M spreads out the image information The HD-SDI is the 1.5 Gbps backbone the sample rate at 37.125 MHz, the ‘2s’ between the two channels to distribute of uncompressed high definition video in 4:2:2. This format is sufficient for high the data payload. Odd-numbered lines conveyance within the professional HD definition television. But, its robustness map to link A and even-numbered lines production environment. It’s been around and simplicity is pressing it into the higher map to link B. Table 1 indicates the since about 1996 and is quite literally the bandwidth demands of digital cinema and organization of 4:2:2, 4:4:4, and 4:4:4:4 savior of high definition interfacing and other uses like 12-bit, 4096 level signal data with respect to the available frame delivery at modest cost over medium-haul formats, refresh rates above 30 frames per rates. distances using RG-6 style video coax. -

1. Introduction
AN377 TIMING AND SYNCHRONIZATION IN BROADCAST VIDEO 1. Introduction Digitization of video signals has been common practice in broadcast video for many years. Early digital video was commonly encoded on a 10-bit parallel bus, but as higher processing speeds became practical, a serial form of the digitized video signal called the Serial Digital Interface (SDI) was developed and standardized. Serialization of the digital video stream greatly facilitates its distribution within a professional broadcast studio. Master Sync Generator Sync Video Server (Mass Storage) (Genlock) On-site Video Cameras SDI SDI Video Switching/ Processing SDI Transmission Facility SDI SDI Distribution Video Amplifier SDI SDI Router Frame Synchronizer SDI SDI Remote Professional Video Server Video Camera Monitor (Storage) Figure 1. Typical Example of a Professional Broadcast Video In a studio with multiple cameras, it is important that video signals coming from multiple sources are frame aligned or synchronized to allow seamless switching between video sources. For this reason, a synchronization signal is often distributed to all video sources using a master synchronization generator as shown in Figure 1. This allows video switching equipment to select between multiple sources without having to buffer and re-synchronize all of its input video signals. In this application note, we will take a closer look at the various components that make up a broadcast video system and how each of the components play a role in the synchronization chain. Rev. 0.1 8/09 Copyright © 2009 by Silicon Laboratories AN377 AN377 2. Digitizing the Video Signal A video camera uses sensors to capture and convert light to electrical signals that represent the three primary colors– red, green, and blue (RGB). -
