SM08 is a receiver module compatible with the aCVi® Advanced Composite Video Interface format. SM08 accepts analogue aCVi® encoded video from both twisted pair and low-cost coaxial cable which it converts to HD-SDI format video. SM08...
The following is a brief overview of the aCVi® revision 2 interface (abbreviated to aCVi® in this document). aCVi® is a proprietary format, developed by SingMai Electronics, to transmit high definition video over long distances of coaxial or twisted pair cable. aCVi® is an update to the previous version, specifically designed to interface directly to image sensors, although it may also be used to transmit conventional video sources.
SDI or DVI video sources (e.g. a video camera) and simultaneously drives both coaxial and twisted-pair cable. The receiver module is the SM08. This module accepts either twisted-pair or coaxial cable and converts the aCVi® video to an HD-SDI output for a TV monitor or video recorder.
2 ‘VIDEO-‘ (inverted) signal. If the aCVi® input is valid and can be locked to, the yellow ‘Lock’ LED will light – the SM08 automatically detects the input video standard. Once the aCVi® decoder has locked and is decoding the yellow ‘SDI lock LED’...
4. Circuit description Figures 6-14 show the schematics for the SM08. Below is a brief technical description of the module. Sheet 1. J3 is the 5VDC power input connector to the SM08 module. The 5VDC is protected from over-voltage and reverse polarity inputs by D1, D2 and resettable fuse, F1. The input is then filtered by L1 and C2 to provide the ‘clean’...

The scrambled signal is then multiplexed into 5 data streams at 148.5MHz which are driven as LVDS outputs, together with an LVDS clock, to the HD-SDI serialiser IC, U18, which converts these five data signals into one 1.485GHz, HD-SDI compatible, output (J9).
