  • Page 8: Test Pattern

    The BNC connector on the Harrier Evaluation Board will supply the analog video output of the camera interface board. The Harrier 3G-SDI Camera Interface Board generates the analog signal by downscaling the camera digital output. To enable this the camera must be set into 720p50/720p60 output mode. By default, when this camera video mode is set, both analog and digital outputs are enabled.
  • Page 9 FTDI are installed. These are available here: https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm Please check that the Harrier 3G-SDI Camera Interface Board DIP switches are set for the serial interface standard that you intend to use, and check that you have connected the 9-way cable to the correct connector on the Harrier Evaluation Board.
