Is it possible to implement a hd-sdi rx and an aurora tx in a single gtp quad such as artix7-50 device ?

[sanhu]

The artix7-50 device has only one gtp quad and 4 channels . I want to implement a hd-sdi receiver at 1.5Gbps on a channel and implement a aurora transmitter at 2.0Gbps on another channel .  Is is possible ? If not , is it possible for both hd-sdi receiver and aurora transmiter at 1.5Gbps ?

Hey @sanhu,

I want to implement a hd-sdi receiver at 1.5Gbps on a channel and implement a aurora transmitter at 2.0Gbps on another channel.  Is is possible?

Yes, the tranceivers have two designated clock inputs which can be routed to any of the four channels.

There are also separate channel PLLs for each channel, so you probably can get away with a single common input clock for both.

If not , is it possible for both hd-sdi receiver and aurora transmiter at 1.5Gbps?

That is of course possible as well.

Best,
