Table A-40. Looback Connections
Loops ASI input, J3 (or J4), to ASI output, J7. If JP1 is Off,
then J3 (J4) also loops to J6, the LVDS-DVB parallel output
The LVDS signal contains D0-D7, Sync, Dvalid, and Clock
If J1 is On, then J6 (LVDS-DVB input) is looped to the ASI
output J7.
JP1 is Off (Normal): When Loopback is engaged the TX ASI
(J3) input connects simultaneously to the RX ASI (J7) and to
the RX LVDS connector (J6). The LVDS signal contains D0-
D7, Sync, Dvalid, and Clock
JP1 is On: When Loopback is engaged the TX LVDS (J6)
input connects to the RX ASI (J7) connector.
JP1 is ON: When Loopback is engaged the TX LVDS (J6)
input connects to the RX ASI connector (J7). The LVDS signal
contains D0-D7, Sync, Dvalid, and Clock.
JP1 is OFF (Normal): When Loopback is engaged the TX ASI
input connects to the RX ASI connector and to the RX LVDS
connector. The LVDS signal contains D0-D7, Sync, Dvalid,
and Clock.
