SGI Digital Video Specification
The dig_video_spec.ps postscript file describes the SGI Digital
Video Specification describes the SGI Digital Video
specification. The specification defines the data format,
electrical and mechanical interfaces used to get digital video
data into and out of the Silicon Graphics platforms via this
60-pin connector. This connector is found currently on the
Galileo Video cards for Indigo and Indigo2, the IndyCam port on
the Indy, the IndyVideo board and the Cosmo Compress cards for
Indigo and Indy.
From page one of the spec:
This document defines the electrical specifications of the SGI
Digital Video standard and the mechanical interface to the
digital video port. This interface is used for transporting
digital video information either in to or out of Silicon
Graphics machines. There are currently three implementations of
this interface. Two of them are external connections to SGI
products - an input only implementation as used by the IndyCam
digital camera on the Indy workstation, and an input/output
implementation as found on the Gaileo, Indy Video, Indigo^2
video add-in products and the Cosmo Compress Motion JPEG
compression card. The third implementation is the internal
connection used to connect the Indy Video and Cosmo Compress
boards together. This specification covers all three of these
variations.
