Hardware Setup
The SDALTEVK printed circuit board is designed to interface with the HSMC connector on the Cyclone III
Development Boards. Power, control bus, and LVDS bus signals are supplied to the daughter board through the
HSMC connector. The Cyclone III FPGA provides the SD/HD/3G SDI and general purpose stacks as well as the
control interface to a PC through a USB cable. This evaluation system allows inexpensive FPGAs to deliver up to
3 Gbps on a coax cable.
