FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CSR: Contains all configuration registers used to monitor status and control the RTL functionality.

VIDEO SPLITTER: Splits the incoming video data into respective sub-images based on the active SDI mode, link configuration and mapping structure.

VIDEO CONTROL GEN: Generates essential video control information, including pixel and line status, field indication and Timing Reference Signal (TRS) Pattern insert positions.

VIDEO PACKER: Packs the input video data and control information according to the selected SDI mode, link configuration, mapping structure and color format.

AUDIO SAMPLER: Samples the incoming audio data and packs the respective streams based on the SDI mode, link configuration and mapping structure.

FRAMER: Insert TRS patterns based on the generated control information and embeds ancillary data packets into the available blanking spaces as defined by the SMPTE specification.

LINK: Rearranges the stream data based on the SDI mode, performs NRZI channel encoding and generates the final output stream formatted for the selected SDI standard.
