User Guide
Pattern Generator
This control specifies the test pattern to output to the monitor. The following choices
are available:
Pattern
■ Color bar—Specifies a video color bar pattern with eight vertical color bars as
shown in table Table 6–1.
■ Pathological—Specifies a video color bar pattern with two horizontal color bars
that stresses the receive PLL.
■ PRBS—Specifies a pseudo-random bit sequence useful for electrical testing of the
interface for data integrity.
Intensity
Specifies the color intensity of the transmitted color bar pattern. The following choices
are available.
■ 75%—Specifies 75% intensity.
■ 100%—Specifies 100% intensity.
SDI Standard
Specifies the video standard used by the pattern generator on the SDI video stream.
The following choices are available:
■ SD—Specifies a 270 Mbps data rate.
■ HD—Specifies a 1.485 Gbps data rate.
■ 3G HD—Specifies a 2.97 Gbps data rate.
Clock Source
Specifies the clock used by the SDI PLL to lock onto. The following choices are
available:
■ Lock to host—Locks the SDI PLL to the local reference on the Cyclone V SoC
Development board.
■ Lock to input—Locks the SDI PLL to the SDI video data input.
