It requires the Microsoft VisualStudio 2008 runtime library.
Click here　for download it, so please install either x86 or x64 according to your environment.
There are two files for each runtime library. Install without _sp1 first, then with _sp1.

You can use it with our SDK or free software.
We have a Software Development Kit. This SDK is a C language source file for both Windows and Linux.
It also includes the functions of the Extension Unit. Free tools are available if you only want to display them.

In Windows environment, you can use AMcap (DirectShow development tool).
   URL：https://msdn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/library/cc352037.aspx
In the Linux environment, you use UVC compatible capture software such as guvcview and VLC media player.
   URL：https://sourceforge.net/projects/guvcview/
The free software is open source, so you can use it without any problems.
Please install the latest guvcview with sudo apt-get install guvcview in ubuntu OS.

The delay differs between HDMI / DisplayPort mode and UVC mode.

【SVP-01】
DisplayPort mode : Please refer to SVP-01 latency.
UVC mode : Please refer to SVP-01 latency.

【SVM-06】*The latency is the same for SVM‑06 and SVL‑03-UVC.
HDMI mode : Please refer to SVM-06 latency.
UVC mode : Please refer to SVM-06 latency.

【SVM-03】
HDMI mode : Please refer to the upper diagram of SVM-03 latency.
UVC mode : Please refer to the lower diagram of SVM-03 latency.

The monitoring board supports raw input by considering it as YUV format and outputting.
As for the data format the upper bits are assigned to the U/V components and the lower bits are assigned to the Y components, and all bits are output. Therefore, when YUV display processing is performed on the Capture Software side, the image becomes greenish. NVCap has a soft filter for displaying this image in monochrome or color.
Regarding saving, you can save it as an AVI file as it is, but regarding playing, it is either developed by the customer or contracted by us. It is possible to play with another free software (SVOgen).

The I2C master on the monitoring board supports clock stretching, so it is possible to communicate with the I2C slave that does the clock stretch without any problem.

The monitoring board has an I2C master function, which returns ACK during read access and returns NACK at the last byte of read access.

HDMI output with custom resolution is also possible.
For details, refer to “Output Resolution” in SVMCtl software manual.

It is possible to stop the HDMI output when the video input is no longer detected.
For details, refer to “HDMI Output Switch” in SVMCtl software manual.

By writing the initial settings by I2C to the ROM on the board, it is possible to send it at startup.
For details, refer to “I2C Init. Data” in SVMCtl software manual.

You can select from 100kHz, 200kHz, 400kHz.
For details, refer to “I2C Frequency” in SVMCtl software manual.

Select ".dat (Thru)" from File Settings -> Advanced Setting -> Screen Shot Format, with NVCap.
Then, you can save the raw data for one frame, so you can compare the data.
When using NVRawDLL, set the mode of Filter Option to “Thru”.

The operating voltage range is 4.5V - 5.5V and the absolute maximum rating is 6V.

A basic operation manual for the SVM-03 is available; please refer to it here.
While the general checklist is similar for other boards, please feel free to contact us for support regarding usage.
(*SVM-03 is the predecessor model of SVP-01-UVC.)

The standard version of generator board does not respond to I2C commands, because it does not support I2C slaves.
I2C slaves implement can be customizable. If you want it, please contact us.

The compatibility mode has been renamed to "Vendor mode".
The functionality remains unchanged, so please rest assured when making additional purchases.

Please refer to the following.

• Connection table with FPD-Link III board
• Connection table with GMSL board

From the top, the order is Interface - Input / Output Direction - Mounted SerDes IC - Mounted Connector - Revision.
In addition, in the case of SV series boards, the order is SV - Input / Output Direction - Revision or Model number - Function. Please refer to the product number rule.

It has been supported since April 2018.
Since April 2018, all software support Windows. If you have an older product, install the driver included in the latest version of the full package. It will then be available.

It depends on the series of SV board.
SVM-03, SVO-03, SVM-MIPI : 4092 × 4095 pixels. Actual tests are up to 4K size.
SVI-09, SVO-03-MIPI, SVM-06, SVP-01-UVC, SVP-01-GEN : 8190 × 4095 pixels. Actual tests are up to 4K size.

It supports from 80MHz to 150MHz depending on connection conditions.
As an actual test, we are verifying from several KHz to 150 MHz.
However, please contact us as it depends on the operating environment. We will inspect and ship the board at your specified frequency. From the second half of 2017, all products are compatible with 150MHz. The filter circuit of the parallel IO part can be changed. If you need compatibility with older products, we will do it for free.

The update can be performed on a PC using a dedicated application.
The latest update image can be downloaded from here.
Please use a USB 3.0 cable when performing the update, as it cannot be done with USB 2.0.

You may need to update the driver depending on the version before the update.
If the board is not recognized due to the successful update, please update the driver from the device manager of the PC.

Please contact us first because the board might have broken down.
According to the condition of the board, you can recover it. When you turn on the power and all LEDs are not lit, use SVMUpdater app. Click here for the usage of SVMUpdater.

If all LEDs are lit, in the case of the board with Artix-7 [SVM-06, SVO-03-MIPI, SVI-09], use the XILINX’s tool to rewrite ROM.
Click here for the detail. For boards other than the above, please contact us.

The manuals for each board are linked to our English page.

Parallel type cameras can be connected to SVP-01-UVC and SVP-01-VND.
Parallel cameras are rarely available on the market, so please contact the manufacturer directly to get one.
MIPI type cameras can be connected to SVL-03-UVC and SVM-06.
MIPI cameras are also rarely on the market, but Raspberry Pi cameras are easy to get.

Most parallel cameras and MIPI cameras are connected by a flat cable. As connectors depends on the flat cable, please contact the camera manufacturer about it.
There are various SerDes cameras according to COAX and STP systems. Check with the manufacturer because it depends on the device you use. Below is an example of connectors.
