Figure 4-1 Data path for 12G SDI loopback test
For 3G SDI loopback test, there are two test cases because the SDI chips are bi-direction chips.
shows the data path for CASE 1 loopback test. In this case, the first 3G-SDI chip is configured as
output mode and the second SDI chip is configured as input mode. A BNC to BNC cable is used to
loopback the SDI signal from one BNC connector to another.
shows the data path for
CASE 2 loopback test. It is the complete reverse of CASE1 where the first 3G-SDI chip is
configured as input mode and the second SDI chip is configured as output mode.
