1080p caution) 1. i : Interlaced 2. p : Progressive * USB3-FRM14 is supported up to 1080p(30fps), but Interlace mode does not currently support. The various serial digital interface standards all use coaxial cables with BNC connecters, with a nominal impedance of 75 ohms. The data of image, sound and various digital information (Line Counter, CRC) can carry hundreds meter far using coaxial cable.

USB3-FRM14 Users Manual (Rev 1.1) 2.5 Ancillary Data USB3-FRM14 board can show Vertical Ancillary Data (VANC). Ancillary Data(commonly abbreviated as ANC Data), in the context of television system, refers to a means which by non-video information(such as audio, other forms of essence, and metadata).
Page 14
USB3-FRM14 Users Manual (Rev 1.1) All ANC packets must start with a specific start sequence, for component interfaces(the only kind of Srial Digital Interface is widespread use today), the start sequence is 0x00 0x3FF 0x3FF. This sequence is otherwise illegal in the serial digital interface. These words follow the start sequence in the header.
