What’s New
We’ve leveraged our extensive history and expertise in the video broadcast industry to design and build the industry’s
first 290x290 fully non-blocking asynchronous switch—the flagship solution in our new family of crosspoints. These are
not parts adapted from the datacomm market. They were designed for broadcast video from the ground up.
Our years in the broadcast industry have given us a unique understanding of the video market. That’s why we’ve built
in industry-first features like eight strobe enable pins, which enable the crosspoint to be broken up into 8 smaller
crosspoints. This gives you the flexibility you need for multi-format applications or for re-configuring part of the switch
as needed.

Crosspoint Switches
Video-specific Features Developed from the ‘Ground Up’
for HD, 3D and Ultra HD
Gennum crosspoint switches provide an unmatched
combination of size, features and performance. At sizes
available up to 290 inputs and 290 outputs, these are
the largest asynchronous, fully non-blocking crosspoint
switches in the industry.
Designed for Broadcast
Gennum’s history in the broadcast market has given us
a thorough understanding of the nuances of broadcast
equipment, allowing us to design specifically for these
applications. Using this expertise, we’re introducing
several features that are new to the industry such as
multiple strobe enable pins, the industry’s greatest input
and output flexibility and a pattern checker that supports
arbitrary patterns. All of these features mean that Gennum
crosspoints are easy to use and easy to de-bug, while
providing superior performance.
Multiple Strobe feature
Eight update enable pins allow the crosspoint to be broken
into smaller pieces, each of which can be independently
updated. This is useful in multi-format environments when
the switches will occur at different points in time. Because
they can be assigned on a per-output basis, this feature
enables maximum flexibility.
Data rate margin
Supporting input data rates up to 3.5Gb/s means that there is
significant margin for systems operating up to 2.97Gb/s. The
3.5Gb/s data rate support also means that the product can be
used in Xaui™, DisplayPort™ and HDMI applications.
GX3290
Parallel/Serial Interfaces
Fully independent input and output channels
All of Gennum’s crosspoint products provide independent
input trace equalization and output de-empahsis, which
can compensate for over 40 inches of PCB trace loss. Also,
the wide input sensitivity (100-1200mV) means that drivers
on previous chips can be reduced, saving overall system
power. With outputs capable of driving 1600mV, passive
splitting while still driving long traces can be guaranteed;
and with output swings as low as 200mV, system power can
be significantly reduced when the chip is followed closely by
another product.
On-chip Pattern Generators and Checkers
With two independent pattern generators and pattern
checkers on chip, the GX3290 (and family) can be used for
testing and diagnosing system channel issues on either the
input or output side of the system. Support for PRBS7, 15,
and 23 patterns in the pattern generator means that there
is enough flexibility to evaluate the system under different
stress conditions. The pattern checker can check one of the
three PRBS patterns above or it can be configured to check
bit errors on any arbitrary pattern. This is particularly useful
for evaluating system performance under stressful video
pathological signals.

By offering both serial and parallel host interfaces with
normal and auto-increment modes, customers can
choose the interface and mode of operation that works
best in their system. This makes it easy to interface
to a variety of controlling chips, from FPGAs to
microprocessors.
The GX3290 can check for bit errors at arbitrary phase
offsets from the received data. This allows the user to
determine the value of the horizontal eye opening,
which provides a measure of the system jitter margin.
Gennum Fall 2010 Product Guide • Broadcast Video
Crosspoint Switches
Industry’s largest crosspoint switch, designed specifically for broadcast
Temperature sensors
Industry’s Largest switch product
Four on-chip temperature sensors monitor the junction
temperature of the chip and provide this information to the
registers, where the user can read them. This allows the user
to control things like fan speed and power down sequences
that prevent the chip and system from overheating.
Gennum’s new family of crosspoint devices includes the
industry’s first 290x290 crosspoint switch, which delivers
one trillion bits of data throughput per second—also known
as 1 terabit per second (Tb/s). With 84,100 unique paths
at 3.5 gigabits per second(Gb/s), Gennum ‘s GX3290 is the
highest performance, highest speed solution for processing
video currently available.
Dynamic Output power down and signal invert
Having the output power down and signal invert functions
tied to the strobe enable pins guarantees that outputs enter or
exit powerdown mode when all other switches are occuring
in the matrix. This is particularly important for large switch
cards built using multiple crosspoint chips with passive
combining to guarantee that two outputs are not driving the
same line at the same time.
As the broadcast industry evolves to support next-generation
video formats such as HD, 3D and UltraHD, the need
to support multiple data rates and video formats will
dramatically increase the size and complexity of nextgeneration video broadcast systems. Gennum’s crosspoint
portfolio not only delivers the superior size, performance
and power management required by these systems, but gives
equipment manufacturers and broadcasters alike the ability
to monitor and control performance.
Low Power
At only 34W for 290 channels, per channel power
consumption is industry leading when compared to other
competitive solutions. System power can be further reduced
by taking advantage of the Crosspoint’s high input sensitivity
and using Gennum’s GS2993/2994 equalizers at minimum
output swing levels.
Applications
Routers, multiviewers, production switchers, master control
switchers.
Flexible Footprint
The GX3290, 3190, 3246, 3202, 3146, and 3074 are all pin
compatible. Also, sharing the same interface and register
set, one design can be easily scaled to the necessary switch
size with no rework required in either hardware or software,
allowing multiple end products to be launched from one
common platform.

As a designer, you have the choice of selecting components
from different vendors. But when it comes to designs with
serializers and deserializers, you first have to choose an
architecture. In implementing a design with a serializer
and/or deserializer, you have 3 architectural choices at your
disposal: Gennum’s complete transmitter/receiver solution
architecture, an integrated-transceiver FPGA architecture
and an FPGA-helper architecture. Let’s explore these three
options with an assessment of the following key parameters:
jitter, power consumption, integration (component/features),
time-to-market, system size and cost.

Proprietary Customer
Leveraging its expertise in signal integrity and deep
understanding of broadcast video technologies, Gennum’s
offering encapsulates all the analog components (SerDes,
VCO, CD, EQ, Reclocker) as well as the digital SMPTE video
and audio processing required to transmit and receive SDI
video into one optimized, cost-effective and power efficient
ASIC implementation that lets you focus on customer
value-add processing for quicker time-to-market. All of
this integration into one package reduces the system PCB
footprint required to implement SDI transmit/receive, at no
compromise to Gennum’s superior jitter performance. Only
Gennum offers a solution that scores high for each evaluation
parameter.

EXCELLENT JITTER PERFORMANCE
Gennum’s GS2972 and GS2962 are fully compliant with
SMPTE 424M and 425M including support for both Level A
and Level B. In addition, these chips are the only solutions
providing conversion from Level A to Level B. The full set
of included features makes these devices the ideal choice for
1080p 50/60 transmission.
Due to the integrated PLL with narrow loop
bandwidth, the transmitters can reject up to 300ps of jitter
on the parallel clock, outputting very low jitter, SMPTE
compliant SDI signals.
POWER AND AREA EFFICIENT
The high level of integration in Gennum’s transmitters
provides the lowest power and smallest means of
implementing an SDI link.
COMPLETE VIDEO PROCESSING
Gennum transmitters have the most complete video
processing features available. These include, but are not
limited to: scrambling, TRS detection or insertion, and
ancillary data insertion.
Applications
Cameras, camera control units, multiviewers, routers,
production switchers, master control switchers, VTRs,
video servers, encoders/decoders, up/down/cross converters,
audio embedders, format detectors, test and measurement
equipment.
GREAT FOR DVB/ASI
All Gennum transmitters are DVB/ASI capable. The
GS9092A is ideally suited for this application due to its low
power and small size.

GS4900B/GS4901B/GS4910B/GS4911B
CLOCK GENERATORS
GS4915 ClockCleaner™
GENLOCK CAPABILITY
The GS4915 will reduce jitter on input video clocks of 27,
74.25, 74.25/1.001, 148.5, and 148.5/1.001 MHz. Output
jitter will typically be 20ps, which will guarantee 3Gb/s-SDI
compliance when used with a serializer.
REDUCES JITTER TO MEET SMPTE SPECS
Gennum clock generators can be genlocked to reference with
a variable offset. On loss of reference the video clocks will
flywheel to maintain their frequency.
GENERATES MULTIPLE CLOCKS
FLEXIBLE I/O FREQUENCIES AND LEVELS
3 video clocks (2 single-ended and one differential), 3 audio
clocks, and 8 configurable timing signal clocks can be
generated. Video clocks up to 165MHz can be produced in
order to support up to 3G SDI and UXGA.
SD (27MHz), and HD (74.25, 74.25/1.001, 148.5,
148.5/1.001MHz) frequencies can be input and output from
the GS4915. The chip also has single-ended and differential
inputs and outputs to facilitate interfacing with a variety of
chips.
INPUT STANDARD DETECTION
By supplying the clock generator with HSync, VSync and
Fsync, the chip will determine if it meets one of 36 video or
16 graphics standards and will report which standard.
GS4911B
FREQUENCY DOUBLER TO MEET 3Gb/s-SDI
REQUIREMENTS
If the input clock frequency is 74.25 or 74.25/1.001MHz, the
GS4915 can double the output, providing a low jitter 148.5 or
148.5/1.001MHz output clock which can be used for HD-SDI
and 3Gb/s-SDI applications.

Gennum Fall 2010 Product Guide • Broadcast Video
PCI Express Video Solution
®
The easiest way to transport SDI video over PCI Express
COMPLETE PCI EXPRESS SOLUTION
REFERENCE DESIGN KIT AVAILABLE
Gennum provides a complete solution for video capture/
playout over PCI Express including the GN4124 PCI
Express-to-local bus bridge, SDI transmitters/receivers,
software, and firmware.
A complete RDK for video capture is available.
PCI EXPRESS CABLE EXTENSION SOLUTION
Gennum PCIe re-driver solutions provide new alternatives
for system partitioning and extension. The GN1407 quad
PCIe re-driver, and the GN1406 quad retiming re-driver,
allow PCI Express to be extended across long cables.
PCI EXPRESS BRIDGE
The GN4124 is designed to work as a companion to FPGA
devices to provide a complete bridging solution. Since the
PCI Express transaction/link IP is hard-wired into the
GN4124, there is no need to license PCIe IP. Using the
GN4124 allows FPGA resources to be spent on differentiating
features.
PCIe Re-driver and Retiming Re-driver
The GN1406 provides high-gain equalization (up to 24dB) for
PCI Express for Gen1/Gen2 data rates to compensate for
cable losses. Standard PCI Express cable or lower cost
alternatives such as CAT5/6 may be used. The GN1406 is
unique in that it also provides retiming in order to achieve
the longest cable lengths and address impairments such
as crosstalk, source jitter, interpair skew, and reflections
that cannot be compensated for by equalization alone. By
resetting the jitter budget through retiming, the GN1406
provides the greatest robustness and lowest jitter solution
available. Each of the 4 channels in the GN1406 includes
independently adjustable equalization and de-emphasis.
Live on Power-up
The GN4124 devices are live on power-up so that a plug-andplay BIOS can auto-detect them without an attached FPGA
having to be configured.
FPGA On-the-Fly Configuration Loader
An FPGA configuration bitstream may be downloaded from
the host system over PCIe to the attached FPGA.
GN1407 is similar to GN1406, except that it does not have
the retiming and de-emphasis features.
Local Bus Interface
The local bus interface uses dual data rate to accomplish up
to 800MB/s of local bus peak throughput in each direction
(1600MB/s total peak throughput).
A complete reference design kit, including schematics and
board layout, is available from Gennum.
FIRMWARE/SOFTWARE
GN1406
The Gennum video capture solution includes FPGA firmware
and driver software is provided at no extra cost when used
with the GN4124.
