● Overview

The Terasic DVI-HSMC is a DVI transmitter/receiver board with a High Speed Mezzanine Connector (HSMC) interface. It is designed to allow developers to access high quality and high resolution video signals that support UXGA Resolution (Pixel Rates up to 165 MHz). It gives the flexibility required in high resolution image processing systems by combining both the DVI transmitter and receiver onto the same card. Lastly, the DVI-HSMC daughter board can be connected to any HSMC/HSTC interface host boards.

Reference Designs

Transmission-Only Demo
(Full source code included)

The Transmission demonstration is able to generate various video format signals to the transmit port of the DVI Daughter Board from the associated host boards. (DE3, Cyclone III Starter Board, Cyclone III Development Board, and Stratix III Development Board). The various video signals will display test patterns on the LCD screen.

The supported video formats are listed below:

✔ 640x480@P60
✔ 720x480@P60
✔ 1024x768@P60
✔ 1280x1024@P60
✔ 1920x1080@P60
✔ 1600x1200@P60

Transmission Demo Hardware Setup

Loopback Demo
(Full source code included)

The Loopback demonstration displays the groundwork of a connection established between the DVI source device to the transmitter output of the DVI daughter board. The loopback (Internal bypass) forms the DVI video signals within the FPGA board, as video output pins of the receiver are directly connected to the input video pins of the transmitter. The supported FPGA board for the Loopback demonstration includes (DE3, Cyclone III Starter Board, Cyclone III Development Board, Stratix III Development Board).
