Overview
Together with the EB-GS2972 Evaluation Board, this document serves as a guide for
evaluating the GS2972, a Gennum 3Gb/s, HD, SD SDI Transmitter. This document
contains four main sections:
1. Evaluation Board User Guide.
2. Evaluation Board Schematics.
3. Evaluation Board Layout.
4. Evaluation Board Bill of Materials.
The figurebelow shows a block diagram of the features and the functions of the
EB-GS2972.
The board includes a power supply, 2 SDI output ports, a GS2972 Transmitter, a parallel
video input connector, an audio input with four BNCs for AES audio, an optional
four-pin header for serial audio, an audio conditioning block, a JTAG/GSPI header, a dip
switch and some status indicator LEDs.
The GS2972 can be configured in SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI or DVB-ASI mode. This may
be selected manually through a DIP switch. The serialized video is available on the SDI
output BNC connectors.
The EB-GS2972 also provides a JTAG interface and access to the GS2972’s internal
registers via GSPI and USB. A GSPI dongle is included in the kit, to communicate with the
GS2972 and Sample Rate Converters (SRCs) through a USB connection.The GSPI dongle
has the provision to control and monitor an additional EB-GS2970 board connected to
the EB-GS2972.

1.1 Power (J1)
The EB-GS2972 requires a single +5V DC power supply. The board is powered through
J1.
LED (D7) indicates the power on/off state of the board.
Through the use of JP7, the user can select the I/O voltage to be either 1.8V or 3.3V.
If the EB-GS2972 and the EB-GS2970 are connected together, one supply will power
both boards. Therefore, the +5V DC power is only required on either the EB-GS2972 or
the EB-GS2970.
1.2 Switch Settings (SW6 & SW7)
DIP switches (SW6 and SW7) are populated on the board with each bit labelled on the
silk-screen. They are used to set the operation mode of GS2972.

1.3 Inputs
1.3.1 Audio Input
Up to 8 channels of audio are supported by the EB-GS2972.
Group One (AES 1/J13 and AES 2/J14) goes to SRCs. Through the software, the SRC can
be programmed to output AES or serial (synchronous or asynchronous) audio signals to
the GS2972. The master clock for the SRCs is supplied by the GS4911B on the
EB-GS2972.
Group Two can be connected directly to the GS2972 as AES (AES 3/J15 and AES 4/J16)
or serial audio (Header J30). In the case where synchronous audio is required, external
synchronization must be applied. This configuration is meant to allow users to have the
capability of evaluating audio embedding. For SD audio, when embedding audio with
both groups, the audio needs to be synchronized externally.
1.3.2 Parallel Video Input
The EB-GS2972 has a 48-pin parallel connector for the serialized video input (J25). The
video input includes the 20-bit video data and pixel clock.
The related timing signals (F,V,H) are on the 10-bit parallel connector (J27).
1.4 SDI Outputs (J3 and J4)
The EB-GS2972 includes two SDI outputs on J3 and J4.
