SE50-3G/SDI

Mini PCIe IO and processing module based on Microsemi PolarFire MPF300T-1FCVG484 FPGA

The SE50-3G-SDI is a small footprint mini-PCIe board with support for 3G/SDI videos. It uses PolarFire MPF300T-1FCVG484E FPGA for processing and to interface to the host. A TI LMH0397 chip is used for 3G/SDI functionality. It has 2 U.FL connectors which can be used as 2 Outputs or as one Input and one Output.

There is a complete  BSP for supporting RedHat 7.9 or Ubuntu 20.04 for the host operating system. For detailed information, please contact the Sundance support team. Below is a short list of features and functions available as part of BSP:

  1. Support for 3G and SDI, RAW and Formatted modes
  2. Support for two modes of operation:
    1. Idle/Capture.
    2. Playback
  3. Ability to read from the host and send to output
  4. Ability to capture and write to the host and save to file
  5. Capture and send to output
  6. Supports Y C′bC′r 4:2:2  formats:
    1. 10bit: 1080p30, 720p60, 1080p60, 1080p25, 720p50, 1080p50;
    2. 12bit: 1080p30, 1080p25;
    3. Support of 30/1.001 & 60/1.001 variants;
  7. RGB 4:4:4 format: 10bit: 1080p24;
