Rastergraf

1.1 Introduction

The Topaz, Stratus, Tropos, Garnet, and Duros comprise a set of closely
related designs that have been tuned to address a variety of requirements.

Originally starting with the Stratus as the fully configured version and
Tropos as the low parts count version, the line was expanded into the
analogous Garnet and Duros which are rugged, conduction cooled
versions adding 2 thermal layers and, on the Duros, the ability to produce
STANAG 3350 A-C output modes.

The final iteration is the Topaz, a non-conduction cooled design, which is
intended to subsume the Stratus and Tropos. It:

a) includes the new features added in the Garnet and Duros,

b) using an MDR26 connector, adds the optional capability to provide

LVDS on the front panel,

c) replaces the Stratus front panel MDSM Video I/O connector with an

MDR20 for easier cable construction,

d) adds a dual front panel VGA connector option,

e) adds the 3.3V local regulator option that was dropped on Garnet and

Duros.

The following page shows a table of the features of the boards in a
comparative format to ease understanding what each version provides.
Following that are block diagrams of each board, and then some
explanatory sections covering the board functions.

1.2 SM731 Graphics Controller

1.2.1 Overview

The SM731 is a low power 2D/3D display controller with 90, 180, and
270 degree hardware rotation. Silicon Motion's ReduceOn™ technology
for the SM731 implements functions in hardware that were previously
performed in software, allowing easier driver development. ReduceOn
technology intelligently monitors the activity on the device and optimizes
the power as necessary to maximize performance and power consumption.
This level of power management is possible since each functional block
and engine clock can be dynamically controlled to actively reduce the
overall power consumption.

1.2.2 Detailed Description

The SM731 delivers full-featured 3D, a unique memory architecture
designed to enhance 3D/2D performance, enhanced multi-display
capabilities, and Motion Compensation for DVD. Software support is
available under Windows 2K/XP and Linux/XFree86.

A robust 128-bit Drawing Engine provides excellent 2D performance. The
Drawing Engine supports 3 ROPs, BitBLT, transparent BLT, pattern BLT,
color expansion, line draw and Alpha blending. The Host interface Unit
allows support for PCI up to 66 MHz.

The SM731 incorporates an IEEE Floating Point Setup engine as well as a
full-featured 3D rendering engine. The 3D engine pipeline was designed
to operate in a balanced manner, allowing setup of 6 million triangles per
second (125MHz core frequency) and rasterization of 125 Mpix/s. The
dual pipe Texture engine can output 250 million Texels per second.
Among other features, SM731 natively supports MIP mapping, Alpha
blend, Specular highlights and Fog, Stencil planes, W buffer and fog,
Bump Mapping, and Z engine.

The SM731 integrates 16 Mbytes of on-board SGRAM (SDR) over a 64­bit memory bus operating at up to 150 MHz. The 1.2 GB/sec peak
bandwidth available allows concurrent support of large displays and other
processing functions at optimum performance.

SM731 can drive two independent digital displays or simultaneously drive
LCD, CRT and TV displays. It also incorporates two 112 MHz Max pix
clock LVDS channels that can drive two separate panels or a single
high-resolution panel (up to UXGA). Support for all ACPI power states is
provided. A high quality TV encoder, VGA Core, LCD Backend
Controller and 235 MHz RAMDAC are incorporated as well.

The SM731's Motion Compensation block, Video Processor block, and
Video Capture Unit provide superior video quality for real-time video
playback and capture. When combined with performance CPUs, the
Motion Compensation block allows full frame playback of DVD video
content without the need for additional hardware. The Video Processor
supports multiple independent full screen, full motion video windows with
overlay. Each motion video window uses hardware YUV-to-RGB
conversion, scaling, and color interpolation. When combined with multi­view capabilities of the chip, these independent video streams can be
output to each of two display devices and bilinear scaled to support
applications such as full screen display of local and remote images.

1.3 Video Capture and Playback

The Topaz, Stratus, and Garnet are ideal solutions for industrial graphics
applications. They combine a powerful hardware graphics engine with
support for multiple display devices including VGA, DVI, and LVDS
displays, and NTSC/PAL video monitors.

They also provide video capture support from NTSC/PAL rate and
RGBHV or DVI up to SXGA enabling real-time full-frame-rate display of
live video as well as “frame-grabber” functionality that can upload images
to the host.

Video input may be easily included in a wide variety of applications. The
use of video input can greatly benefit control and monitoring applications
as a fundamental component of the user interface.

Window

The display controller implements independent capture and playback
subsystems. The capture system receives digitized video data through its
16 bit Video Input Port, which is driven by a multiplexer that selects
between the on-board Bt835 NTSC/PAL video decoder (see Section 1.4
and the AD9882 RGBHV/DVI decoder (see Section 1.5

). It places it in a

)

capture buffer in display memory. The playback system retrieves the video
data from the buffer and inserts it into a window in the display stream
(screen image). The output display resolution and timing is not related to
the incoming video resolution and timing so live interlaced video input
may be incorporated into the graphics display without introducing video­related artifacts.

Video Playback

Once the incoming digitized video data has been placed into the capture
buffer, the playback engine can retrieve it and incorporate it into the
display output stream. The playback engine can up-scale (zoom) the
contents of the video capture buffer before incorporating the capture
image into the output stream. The image may either be made to fill the
entire screen at the current resolution, or occupy a “window” within the
larger output display. The window may be of arbitrary size and located on
any pixel boundary. Color keying may be used to create non-rectangular
windows, and/or to superimpose a graphics overlay on the video image.

Video Processing

Digitized video images in YUV format may be transferred from the
capture buffer to host memory by the Topaz/Stratus/Garnet acting as a
DMA PCI bus master. Once in host memory, the video data may be
archived for retrieval and display at a later time. Alternatively, the host
CPU can perform a color space transform on the YUV data or extract the
luminance in order to generate an 8-bit gray-scale image. Image
enhancement algorithms may be applied in surveillance or monitoring
applications, or edge-detection algorithms in automated (robotic) process
control applications.

1.4 Bt835 NTSC/PAL/SECAM Digitizer

The Topaz/Stratus/Garnet provides a Conexant Bt835 video-capture
processor, a single-chip decoding and filtered scaling solution for VCRs,
cameras, and other sources of composite or component (S-Video or Y/C)
video. It integrates video digitization, auto NTSC/PAL format detect and
gain control, synchronization, 2H adaptive Y/C separation (comb filter),
horizontal and vertical filtered down-scaling, user programmable peaking
filter, and VBI data pass-through functions. An internal loopback can be
enabled by software to connect the Composite Video Output to a
Composite Video Input for testing

Using mixed signal and DSP circuitry, the Bt835 converts square pixel
and CCIR601 resolution analog S-Video, NTSC, PAL, and SECAM base­band signals composite video into a scaled to YCrCb digital video stream

An input multiplexer allows the user to select between four composite
input channels or an S-Video input. Hue, saturation, brightness and
contrast controls provide added flexibility to enhance the appearance of
the decoded image. Cropping and scaling can shrink the input image to no
more than is needed for display. This reduces the bandwidth requirement
of the capture and playback engines, leaving more time for graphics
drawing and display refresh. A minimum scale factor of 0.071 allows a
full-resolution video image to be reduced to icon size.

1.6 Flexible Display Support

The graphics boards support a variety of displays, including LVDS and
DVI Flat Panels, Analog RGB (VGA) Monitors and Video Monitors. This
enables it to be easily incorporated into a wide variety of applications. .

Although at a reduced display size, the graphics boards can drive two
independent displays. One path is dedicated to RGB/DVI/LVDS displays
and the other to RGB/TV/LVDS displays. Remember that performance
will be compromised because there is only one drawing engine.

There are two independent display controllers inside SM731: The Panel
Controller also referenced as the Primary Controller and the CRT
Controller also referred to as the Secondary Controller. Because of this,
SM731 is able to drive two screens with different images, from separate
frame buffers and at independently programmable timing and resolution.
Furthermore, the LCD panels can be programmed to display images from
either controller, with some restrictions. The Digital Interface can drive
data from either the Panel Controller or the CRT Controller, just like the
LVDS2 interface. The LVDS1 interface is hardwired to drive data from
the Panel Controller (primary display). If the digital interface (which goes
to the external DVI encoder and the external Ch 2 VGA DAC) and
LVDS2 interface are both turned on to drive the single pixel panels, their
data source has to be the same either from the Panel controller or CRT
controller. There will be no restriction if only one interface is on for single
pixel panel or LVDS2 is used for double pixel panel.

See Section 5.2
combinations. There are several pages of diagrams that illustrate the
amazing flexibility of the SM731 display modes.

1-18 General Information

for more information about the possible display

1.6.1 TV Display

The Topaz/Stratus/Garnet supports base-band TV display output in either
NTSC or PAL video formats. Both composite and S-Video (Y/C) are
available.

The SM731 TV Encoder is somewhat limited in that it only allows 480
line output in NTSC mode. If your image is different from that, then you
have to use the scaler to down- or up-size the image accordingly. Use of
the scaler will affect the overall throughput of the chip and can limit the
display size and video input pixel rates.

1.6.2 Analog RGB Displays

The boards are able to support display resolutions from 640 x 480 (VGA)
up to 1600 x 1200 at up to 24 bpp. The Topaz/Stratus/Garnet can support a
secondary VGA port, in which case both ports should be limited to 1024 x

768. The Secondary VGA output uses the spare pins on the DVI-I front
panel connector or can be specified at order time to use the rear panel DVI
output pins.

Rastergraf

The secondary VGA DAC port is driven by the “Flat Panel” display
controller section of the SM731. Displays ranging up to 1024 x 768 are
practical when both channels are active. Some screen refresh-related
artifacts may appear when a larger display format is used due to
bandwidth limitations in the SM731.

1.6.3 STANAG 3350 A-C (Topaz/Duros)

STANAG Class A 875 Line, Interlaced

STANAG Class B 625 Line, Interlaced

STANAG Class B 525 Line, Interlaced

In the case of STANAG output, the video input multiplexer PLD is
“stolen” in order to generate the special timing modes required for
STANAG. For this reason, STANAG output automatically disables video
input. In addition, the secondary VGA DAC is also “stolen”. It is wire­OR’d as an additional current source into the primary VGA output to
generate the sync and blanking levels required by STANAG. Thus, you
also lose the second VGA port. However, the STANAG implementation is
extremely good, even including negative (below ground) sync. Properly
programmed (using Rastergraf software) TopazPMC/1 and Duros boards
are highly compliant to STANAG 3350 A-C in all aspects.

General Information 1-19

Rastergraf

1.6.4 Flat Panel Displays

The graphics boards support 24-bit-per-pixel Flat Panel displays with
either dual LVDS channels (1024 x 768 max) or using an external encoder
connected to the Digital Out (see figure above), a single DVI channel
(optional on Tropos and Duros). LVDS is available only via the PMC Pn4
rear panel I/O connector for all boards except Topaz, which has a front
panel connector option as well.

1.6.4.1 DVI

The Topaz/Stratus/Garnet (optional on Tropos/Duros) is supplied with a
DVI compliant transmitter. It provides high quality 24-bit true color
digital output over twisted pair cables up to 3 meters in length. This length
may be increased by using shielded twin-ax or fiber-optic cables. Displays
ranging up to 1600 x 1200 are supported when best quality cables are
used.

The DVI serializer is driven by the “Flat Panel” display controller section
of the SM731. Three TMDS data channels send data at 1.65 Gbps per
channel. Connections are made either through the front panel DVI-I
connector or the rear panel I/O (PMC Pn4) as specified at order time.

Figure 1-14 DVI Flat Panel Output Block Diagram

1.6.4.2 LVDS

The LVDS interfaces can be used to drive two independent panels, one
displaying data from the Primary controller and the other displaying data
from the Secondary controller. They can also be combined to drive a
single, two pixels per clock, high-resolution panel. Each LVDS block
compresses 24 bits of RGB data and 4 bits of LCD timing into four
differential wire pairs, up to 392 MB per second at a maximum clock rate
of 112 MHz. A fifth differential pair transmits the interface clock. This

1-20 General Information

Rastergraf

way, each LVDS block can drive one SXGA+ panel (1400x1050x24
@60Hz). The LVDS1 Interface is hardwired to Panel Controller
(Primary). It can be programmed to drive 18 or 24 bpp panels, and, if used
in conjunction with the LVDS2 Interface, it can be used to drive a two
channel, two pixels per clock panel of up to QXGA size (2048x1536).

1.7 Front and Rear Panel I/O Options

The Topaz/Stratus/Garnet boards support front-panel I/O as well as rear­panel I/O via PMC Pn4. Not all hosts support rear-panel I/O. Those that
do oftentimes have poorly routed traces from the PMC Pn4 connector to
the host backplane connector, which makes them unsuitable for high
frequency applications, especially LVDS and DVI. Check the host
(carrier) documentation to determine what support is provided before
considering rear panel I/O as an option.

Depending on the board, several input and output streams and connections
are possible both to front panel connectors as well as the rear panel I/O
(Pn4) connector.

Rastergraf

SDL is a graphics library designed to be a device-independent
programming interface. SDL is ideally suited to demanding board level
and embedded systems applications. Drivers are available for selected host
CPU boards and operating systems. SDL is supplied in object library
format, which means that its target code size can be controlled by limiting
the number of functions used in a given application. SDL has been

Rastergraf

designed to run on any CPU and operating system that uses linear
addressing and is supported by the GNU C compiler and linker. SDL is
available in source for an additional cost – please contact Rastergraf sales.

SDL is easy to use. It includes a complete set of graphics primitives that
interface to the SM731 graphics controller’s accelerated functions. SDL
also supports Stratus’ video capture capabilities. All graphics primitives
are drawn as single pixel lines. Rectangles, polygons, circles, ellipses, and
chords can be filled with a solid color or stipple patterns.

Rastergraf

2.1 General

Graphics Processor: Silicon Motion SM731 2D/3D High Performance 128-Bit

Graphics Processors. Integrated on the same Multi-Chip
Module (MCM) are the memory, LVDS encoders, and TV
encoder.

The SM731 features an internal 235 MHz RAMDAC. It

has a 256 entry Look Up Table (LUT), which is most
commonly used for conversion of 8-bit pixels into full 24­bit RGB pixels. The RAMDAC has a programmable
four-color bit-mapped 64 x 64 cursor. It supports VGA and
common non-interlaced displays ranging from 640 x 480
up to better than 1600 x 1200. Signature registers enable
display analysis for end-to-end testing.

The pixel size can be 8, 15, 16, or 24 bits. For 15 and 16

bpp, the pixel is divided into Red, Green, and Blue: 5:5:5 or
5:6:5. For 24 bpp, pixel is divided into Red, Green, and
Blue and the data is ordered as packed pixels in memory.

Scroll, Pan, and Zoom: Scroll - single line (smooth scroll).

Pan - anywhere on 16 byte boundaries
Zoom: horizontal: 2, 4, 8, 16, vertical: 2, 3 ,...,15, 16

Display Memory: Display memory is 16 MB of 64-bits/word, byte

addressable, no-wait state SDRAM provides eight pages of
1600 x 1200 using 8-bit pixels, four pages using 16-bit
pixels, or two pages using 24 bpp packed pixel mode.

EEPROM Memory: Flash EEPROM contains the VGA BIOS.
Digital Output: Digital (DVI) output uses a THine (THC63DV164 DVI

(Optional on Tropos) encoder connected to the SM731 flat panel output, which

supplies 24-bit TTL level RGB plus HV. It samples and
multiplexes the data and drives four differential pairs.
Because of the high frequency nature of the TMDS signals,
it is vital that matched length, shielded pair cable be used
for DVI connections.

2-2 Specifications

Rastergraf

DVI-I Connector: The DVI-I connector supplies both the digital DVI signals

and dual analog VGA. Rastergraf can supply an adapter
that allows a standard VGA cable to be connected to the
DVI-I connector. A breakout cable can split out the DVI
and the two VGA channels.

Composite Video Signal: A jumper can be installed to select Sync-On-Green

operation on boot-up. The signal has the following
approximate values:

1 Volt peak to peak consisting of:

660 mV Reference White +
54 mV Reference Black +
286 mV Sync Level

Power-management: With the proper software, the SM731 can power-down

unused functions.

Fuse Element: The +5V supplied to the front panel connectors is protected

by a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) resistor. It
resets automatically when an overload is removed.

PCI Bus Access: Programmable Bus Address Registers (BARs) in the

SM731 map control and drawing engine registers, and
display memory through its 33/66 MHz PCI interface.

PCI Bus Usage: 32-bit, 33/66 MHz, J1/J2/Pn4
Important Note: The SM731 at 66 MHz can be marginal.

main differences being that that there is no 3.3V regulator

option on Garnet and Duros, and STANAG is supported on

Duros but not on Tropos. STANAG is supported on Topaz,

so there is a front panel, benign version available.

Front and Rear Access: As mentioned elsewhere, the Topaz/Stratus/Garnet are

intended primarily for front panel use. However, most

features are accessible on the PMC Pn4 rear access and the

boards are available configured for this use.

The specifications are nearly identical, the

If one were to choose rear panel I/O configuration, the

Topaz/Stratus/Garnet can be supplied with no front panel

connectors. In this case, only the connector grounds are still

connected to circuit ground. All other connections are open.

Specifications 2-5

Rastergraf

The Garnet and Duros are full CCPMC versions and as

such are available ONLY with rear panel access.

Care must be exercised in the use of rear panel, especially

with LVDS and DVI, which require matched length pairs

and signal impedance of 50 ohms differential. Most carrier

and CPU boards were not designed for use with these

graphics boards and will therefore not take into account

these special needs. Please contact Rastergraf for assistance

before committing to a rear panel access system design.

Note that as of the time of writing, there are no rear panel

cables, PIM adapters, PMC carriers, or any other hardware

aids available from Rastergraf that might be used as part of

a rear panel system integration effort.

Ruggedization Option: Rastergraf is not in the militarized business, but it does

offer ”ruggedized” versions, which are the Garnet and

Duros.

As compared to a full ruggedized products supplied by

such companies as CWCEC and GE Fanuc which use mil-

grade components and provide full component level

traceability, Rastergraf board designs use standard

distribution grade

derated commercial temperature range
or industrial temperature range components . No formal
component tracking is maintained.

The board is protected with a conformal coating. It is

Miller Stephenson MS-460A spray-on, and is MIL-I­46058C, Type SR and MIL-T-152B compliant. The board
is tested under extended temperature conditions:

Temperature: -40 to +85º C, operating

-55 to +125º C, storage

2.2 Specifications Unique to Topaz, Stratus, and Garnet

Enhanced Functionality: The Topaz, Stratus, Garnet are the fully loaded versions.

They add a Conexant Bt835 NTSC/PAL/SECAM video
digitizer, Analog Devices AD9882 high-speed
RGB/YUV/DVI digitizer, Analog Devices ADV7120 or
ADV7123 VGA DAC, THine THC63DV164 DVI encoder,
configuration EEPROM, and an LM75 thermal sensor.

Front Panel LVDS: The Topaz (only) can be ordered with Front Panel LVDS.

It uses an MDR26 connector and follows the CameraLink
(frame grabber side) pinout to make it easy to find cables.
Please see Chapter 3 for pinout information.

VGA DAC and DVI Out: The versatile 24-bit flat panel (FP) port of the SM731

drives both an Analog Devices ADV7120 (Topaz, Stratus)
or ADV7123 (Garnet) VGA DAC and a THine
THC63DV164 DVI encoder. Thus, depending on the user
requirements, the FP port can either supply a DVI encoded
single channel graphics out or the second VGA port.

When used in the secondary port mode, display resolution

is limited to about 1280 x 1024 because the SM731 can’t
supply pixels fast enough to do more. The DAC can
support RGBHV or RGB with SOG. Properly programmed,
interlaced is supported.

When used to supply DVI, the port can go up to 1600 x

1200. Best results are had when the pixel clock is limited to
150 MHz. Reduced blanking interval timing will further
improve margins.

NTSC/PAL Digitizer: The Topaz, Stratus, and Garnet have a Conexant Bt835

Video Digitizer chip. It captures NTSC/PAL/SECAM
composite video or S-Video with resolutions up to
768x576. It performs on-the-fly image scaling and clipping.
The Bt835 has a multiplexer that can select composite and
S-Video (separate chrominance and luminance).

Note: All

inputs have low pass filters. .

2-8 Specifications

Rastergraf

High Speed Digitizer: The Topaz, Stratus, and Garnet have an Analog Devices

AD9882 high speed RGB/YUV/DVI digitizer chip. It can
capture analog RGBHV, RGB with SOG, or YUV (4:2:2).
Or, when configured (by the factory) the AD9882 can
capture DVI from the MDR20 (Topaz), MDSM (Stratus),
or DVI (but then no longer out) pins.

The AD9882 is connected to the 16-bit SM731 video input

port via a PLD which rearranges the data bits according to
data type. When supplying RGB (or RGB encoded DVI)
the normally 24-bit RGB [8:8:8] component is reduced to
[5:6:5]. In YUV, the full 16-bit YUV is transmitted. When
acquiring YUV (4:2:2), the luminance component can be
forced to 0x80, yielding monochrome.

2.5 Verified Display and Capture Modes

The SM731 Graphics Controller is a flexible chip. It supports a single
input capture channel as well as up to two independent outputs. It has
widowing capabilities and a 128-bit high-performance drawing engine.
But, the overall throughput is handicapped somewhat by a 64-bit memory
bus. This section provides some tabulated information about the practical
capabilities of the SM731. These sorts of limitations are common in
graphics chips, but it’s just unusual for a vendor to provide quantified data
to the customers.

Note that this data is empirically obtained. There may be cases where a
format that was observed to be clean might not be with high drawing
engine activity. Special test software was used, not SDL or X Windows, in
order to avoid application software dependencies.

Resolutions tested: 640x480, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 600x1200
All modes use 60 Hz vertical refresh rate
Mode FP in VGA column means FP timing used for VGA out
Mode VP in DVI column means VP timing used for DVI out

-TV in VGA column means scaled TV out used instead of RGB out
Window is 640x488 YUV422; values are N (no), Y (Window only) or CAP

(capture). CAP (capture) is 640x488 NTSC interlaced or 640x480 RGB @ 75Hz
Activity indicates display memory is under test to simulate application accesses
*streaks : the DVI window is VERY sensitive to VGA timing, but the VGA
window is NOT sensitive to the FP timing. *streaks in window : both capture
windows displayed caused major streaking

*Max : maximum vertical refresh rate before snow became apparent
*Max2 : same as *Max, but while capturing 1024x768@75Hz

"Max, Max2 is highest rate without snow or streaks, but capture update is
slowed, which shows on moving video
Green Background means a clean format
Red Background means that a less than clean result was observed

In general, 16bpp mode has MUCH better performance than 32bpp mode. The
DVI video window is very sensitive to the VGA refresh rate. If dual displays are
required, one with a video window, performance is better if it is the VGA video
window. Both displays can not use the same capture data for video window at
higher resolutions - it gets ugly. The highest mode pair that would cleanly display
both video windows was 1024x768x32bpp.

2.5.2 Maximum Display/Capture Performance

It is not practical to test all cases, or even a broad sub-set of cases. So here
are a sample of corner cases. The test show that it would be no problem to
support a single channel 1600 x 1200 16 bpp DVI display at 70 Hz with
no video capture, but if you wanted to capture a 1024 x 768 60 Hz RGB
you should drop down to 8 bpp or 1280 x 1024. Or, for another example,
dual 1280 x 1024 24 bpp displays might be touchy, but dual 1024 x 768 24
bpp displays would be easy, even if capturing video to one channel.

The format here is the DVI channel mode, the VGA channel mode, and
any video windows.

The method used was to setup a scenario, and then see how high we could
bump the refresh rate before artifacts appeared. If the display appeared
clean in a 10-15 second gaze, then they passed. We used moving video for
capture, and kept a PCI access loop running on display memory. We did
NOT have the drawing engine running during these tests. It may be that
the display could be acceptable at higher rates, because we rejected any
noticeable artifacts, even tiny amounts of snow. But, as mentioned before,
differences in usage (like activating the drawing engine) could reveal
hitherto unnoticed aberrations.

Rastergraf

Test notes:

In single channel mode the DVI and the VGA outputs are identical.
1600 x 1200 GTF timing is only supported on the VGA output in single channel

mode.
1280 x 1024 video capture is possible but iffy. Moving data is likely to breakup.

PCI access may cause snow or streaks.
There is only one capture channel. Sending the capture channel to both display

channels simultaneously degrades performance considerably.
Lower pixel depth (8 bpp instead of 32 bpp) enhance performance considerably.

There is only a small performance difference between 24 and 32 bpp.

Test Summary:

Supported modes include (see table next page):

Single 1600 x 1200, 8 or 16 bpp, 70 Hz, DVI or VGA
Single 1280 x 1024, 24 or 32 bpp, 70 Hz, DVI or VGA
Dual 1280 x 1024, 8 or 16 bpp, 70 Hz, DVI and VGA
Dual 1024 x 768, 24 or 32 bpp, 70 Hz, DVI and VGA
Video capture of up to 1024 x 768 into any 8 bpp single channel display

3.1 Introduction

A variety of front panel connectors and both standard and breakout cables
are required for the Topaz, Stratus, and Tropos boards and are covered in
the following sections. See Table 3-1 (two pages on) for a guide to the
chapter’s contents. Also, see Section 2.5
related information.

The Topaz/Stratus/Tropos DVI-I breakout cable splits out DVI, primary
VGA, and with the unused DVI dual link pins, secondary VGA. The
Topaz/Stratus MDSM or MDR20 Video I/O breakout cable splits out
video in and out into BNC and/or S-Video connections.

The Garnet and Duros use only PMC Pn4 rear panel connectors. At this
time, there are no cables, breakouts, or PIMs for use with PMC Pn4.

The Topaz, Stratus, and Tropos can also be ordered in rear panel
configurations.

Rastergraf can supply you with the breakout and extension cables that are
described in this chapter. Please contact Rastergraf sales for any assistance
you may need.

3.2 VGA Connector

Analog graphics output is provided on a standard VGA style compressed
15 pin D-Sub and is used with an “Autoscan” type monitor. You must use
the correct initialization, since a VGA monitor depends on the sync
polarities to determine operating frequency. The polarities of the
Vertical/Composite Sync and Horizontal Sync are controlled by the
SM731 graphics controller chip (see Section 5.2

4.7 concerning composite sync on green and RGBHV video out modes.

If you have problems, please contact Rastergraf for assistance.

The R, G, and B video outputs are driven by the SM731 graphics
controller chip which is capable of driving terminated cable (75 ohms) to
standard RS-330/IRE levels. Cable length should be limited to 50 feet
unless you use low loss RG-59.

If you really want to roll you own, the PMC board side VGA connector is
an AMP 788574-1. Be sure to use 75-ohm coax for the R, G, B. You can
use TP or coax on H, and V. A cable that would work is Mogami W3206­8 (http://www.mars-cam.com/ccd/mogami/digital3.html

Rastergraf

). See the Note in Section

).

Important Note

Because two VGA connectors are a tight fit on the TopazPMC/1V, some
VGA connector moldings are too wide to allow two cables to be plugged
in simultaneously. Rastergraf can supply cables that are known to fit. The
cable part number is A31-00599-1012. See Section 3.8.

3.3 DVI-I Connector

Topaz, Stratus, and Tropos boards that support DVI use the industry
standard DVI-I (analog/digital) connector which carries both the DVI
digital and the traditional RGBHV analog graphics signals. See

http://www.ddwg.org/

StratusPMC bring out the second VGA channel on some DVI spare pins
(see next page).

The DVI protocol uses the TMDS encoded data format. Each of the three
differential data pairs encodes nine digital video (TTL) signals. A separate
pair carries the clock. DVI requires all pairs be closely matched in length..

Note that there is only one DVI channel, It is driven by an external DVI
encoder connected the SM731 24-bit FP channel output. The encoder is a
THine THC63DV164 DVI transmitter (http://www.thine.co.jp

TopazPMC/2 and StratusPMC Modified DVI-I Connector

The TopazPMC/2 and StratusPMC use the standard DVI-I connector on
the front panel. However, in order to get access to the second VGA port,
they use the DVI pins reserved for super-high-resolution dual-link DVI.
Dual link will never be supported on TopazPMC/2 and StratusPMC.

Note that there is only one DVI channel, It is driven by an external DVI
encoder connected the SM731 24-bit FP channel output.

A breakout cable (A31-00749-1012) is available. See Section 3.10

3.4.1 MDR20 Pinout 20A – NTSC/PAL or RGBHV In, NTSC/PAL Out

The MDR20 Pinout 20A supports dual use pins. The NTSC/PAL and

high-speed RGB input signals are connected together on the board. They
are shown in the table to illustrate the different capabilities of the board.

NTSC/PAL Input

VIN0-VIN3 are composite NTSC/PAL Inputs and CIN is an input
dedicated to Chrominance. VIN 0 can be used with the CIN for S-Video
input applications. Each input is connected to the digitizing chips by a .1
uF input capacitor and presents a (DC) 75-ohm impedance to the driving
source. No low pass filtering is done on the signals. The Bt835 multiplexer
is

not break-before-make, so inputs will be momentarily connected

together when switching from one input to another. YOUT (luminance or
brightness), VOUT, and COUT (chrominance or color) are the outputs of
the SM731 VGA to NTSC/PAL encoder.

3.17 TopazPMC LVDS Extension Cable

The TopazPMC LVDS Extension Cable has two male MDR26 connectors.
It supports dual-link high resolution or two single-link medium resolution
LVDS panels. It is used on the TopazPMC/1L version which has the
MDR26 connector documented in Section 3.5

The cable is the same as the 3M #14B26-SZLB-300-0LC (3 meter with
thumbscrews) cable. Note that the connections are not the same at each
connector, but rather are cross-wired according to the chart on the next
page. By convention, the TopazPMC/1L follows the “Frame Grabber”
end, although, of course, it is a display device, not a frame grabber.

3-32 Connector Pinouts and Cable Information

3.20 Connections to PMC Pn1, Pn2, and Pn4

All boards are connected to the host CPU via the standard 32-bit PMC Pn1
and Pn2 connectors. Most of the connections go only to the SM731. A few
lines go elsewhere on the board for reset, interrupt, and busmode.

See

Table 2-6 in Section 2.5 for a hyperlinked listing of boards versus

pinouts.

Pn4 Connectors

The Topaz, Stratus, and Tropos versions can be ordered with graphics and
video on the PMC Pn4 connector for cases in which no connections to the
front panel are allowed. Garnet and Duros use
I/O. The signal sets presented on the rear panel are the same as the front
panel versions. At this time, Rastergraf does not have any Pn4 adapter
cards or cables for any board.

All boards except the TopazPMC have dual LVDS digital outputs that are

only available on the Pn4 connector and are always wired to those pins.

Thus, even if you order a standard Tropos or Stratus (i.e., without the rear
panel I/O option), LVDS will still be on Pn4.

only the Pn4 connector for

Rastergraf

While using Pn4 I/O is very attractive for some applications, there can be
some serious difficulties in successfully deploying it. Due to the very high
frequency differential signals generated by the DVI and LVDS outputs,
great care must be taken in ensuring cleanly routed, equal length traces on
the host board between the Pn4 connector and the VME or CPCI
backplane connector.

Unless the carrier or host board vendor knew they were routing for the
graphics board, this kind of signal routing will not have been done. For
best results, Pn4 connections must be inner-layer matched length for DVI
and LVDS signals. Other I/Os require inner-layer signal+ground pairs.

Problems with Pn4 I/O are endemic to PMCs, and are not unique either to
the boards in this manual in particular or to graphics boards in general.
Before committing to Pn4 solution, it is a good idea to contact the carrier
or host board vendor so as to obtain the necessary information to make a
good decision. Please contact Rastergraf for assistance.

The following table defines the names and uses for the signals on the Pn4
connector.

shields together and then to ground.

This is a signal pin shared between the Bt835
NTSC/PAL/SECAM decoder and the high-speed
