Gennum’s 3rd Generation
Video Optical Modules (VOMs)
AU D I O / VI D EO

The continued transition to HDTV within the professional broadcast industry, the advent of
1080p50/60 production, D-Cinema production and higher resolution / bit depth formats, are all
factors driving the widespread adoption and build out of 3G SDI capable broadcast infrastructure.
As this build out continues, broadcasters are increasingly looking to optical fiber interfaces for the
carriage and distribution of 3G SDI signaling within the plant. At these higher data rates, fiber optic
systems provide a number of advantages (to coax cabling), especially for long links. Optical fiber
installations also promise smaller and lighter trunking and in large installations on green-field sites,
the cost of installing a fiber infrastructure can be less than an equivalent coax cable installation.

Gennum’s video optical modules are engineered to provide industry leading optical performance
and robustness for mission-critical broadcast applications. The recently released second generation
offering extends Gennum’s leadership by providing new receiver technology with unmatched
overload, sensitivity and signal integrity.
Ro bust Performance

Not all optical modules are created equal. Gennum’s optical modules are built upon Gennum’s
excellence in both SDI and optical technology. Incorporating custom receiver silicon, Gennum
modules feature an exceptional dynamic range ensuring maximum interoperability with SMPTE297
compliant transmitters. Additionally, Gennum’s modules provide robust performance across all
operating conditions thereby ensuring a highly reliable optical link.

THIRD GENERATION PRODUCTS FEATURES:

 User writable EEPROM where equipment manufacturers can program their own information within the SFP to enable their equipment to identify
qualified modules
 SMPTE 297 compatible
 Small Form Pluggable (SFP) package saves board space requirements
 SFPs offer an improved mechanical design with a superior latching and delatching mechanism
 Pin-out designed so that one slot can be populated with a dual transmitter, dual receiver, single transmitter, single receiver, or a transceiver
 Both video and datacom pinout variants are available for all VOM products. This allows network equipment manufacturers to add optical SDI interfaces
to any existing products that were designed per the SFP MSA pinout rather than the defacto standard Video SFP pinout.
 Telecordia GR-468-CORE compliant

APPLICATIONS:
3G-SDI End Applications

Using a Micrel Ethernet PHY and a Lattice ECP3 FPGA to
Create an Ethernet Subsystem

AP P LI C ATI ON N OTES
Many modern applications use FPGAs to implement complex system level building blocks.
These building blocks can contain processors, DSPs, bus interface and even video and audio
functions. Getting high-speed data on and off the FPGA can be accomplished by using a standard
Ethernet interface and this leverages a wide range of established protocols, software platforms and
IP. FPGA’s usually requires an Ethernet Interface IP Core inside the FPGA and some external devices,
typically an Ethernet Physical (PHY) layer device and a connector.

As a target application example we will use a video inspection system used in an assembly
line application. This type of embedded video processor needs to fit into a very small form factor and
will monitor and control inspection of product produced by an assembly. Ethernet is being used to
communicate to the controller so that commands and data received by the controller can be relayed
to the central processing location. A large number of controllers will be distributed throughout the
factory at various stages of the manufacturing process. Because of the data transmission speed
required high-speed Ethernet is needed, but backwards compatibility to standard Ethernet is an
advantage. Significant DSP functionality is desired so that video images may be processed quickly
and any product quality issues spotted quickly.

Creating an Ethernet subsystem involves a variety of design considerations. This application

In order to simplify the design process, Nu Horizons has created a series


Application of application notes designed to guide engineers through the process
of interfacing different devices together. Using a detailed step-by-step
Notes approach, these design guides identify key elements in the design
process. Topics in the application notes are organized by design task
and each topic is a stand-alone section, with a short introduction or
overview, followed by the step-by-step design guidelines. All steps
include a sufficient level of detail to provide the designer with relevant
information to proceed quickly and easily from start to finish.
