The BlueBird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter interfaces to external systems via a 60-way, 3mm height, hermaphroditic board to board mezzanine connector. Mating connectors can have heights from 2.5mm to 6mm giving mated stack height options of 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 9mm (board-to-board distance).

Connector type: Samtec LSHM-130-03.0-L-DV-A-S-K-TR
Mating part: Samtec LSHM-130-0X.X-L-DV-A-S-K-TR

The pinouts for this connector are listed in the datasheet of the BlueBird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter, which is found under downloads.

When connected to a suitable carrier board the Bluebird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter will simply power up and start to scan the SDI input for a SMPTE compatible video signal. The adapter will detect and lock into the video signal; then it will begin to H.264 compress the video stream, packetize and transmit the video data from the Ethernet port. Any RTSP/ONVIF compatible application (e.g. VLC media player or GStreamer) can then receive and control the video. Once the adapter is connected to the network the ONVIF Device Manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/) may be used to connect to the board/streaming video.

ONVIF services can be used to control the video and its H.264 parameters, they can also be used to send data to the serial ports on the adapter. The adapter can be assigned a fixed IP address or can use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address. A webpage interface that is served from the IP address assigned to the adapter (e.g. http://192.168.189.100) can be used to control the adapter and change the adapter settings (e.g. the fixed IP address, camera video mode, etc.).

The BlueBird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter has internal fuse settings and 10k pull-down resistors on the BOOT_MODE signals to set the default boot source.

The boot mode of the adapter can be set using the BOOT_MODE signals.  These signals are pulled to ground by default (10k), connection to a 3V3 source will assert the signal to change the mode.

Signal asserted | Boot source
None | 1. Micro SD card, 2. USB (if no SD card)
BOOT_MODE_0 | USB serial downloader
BOOT_MODE_1 | On board eMMC device
BOOT_MODE_0 & 1 | Reserved – Do not use

The BlueBird SDI – H.264 IP Adapter implements the ONVIF Profile S standard. The main services are listed below.

• Media service: enables control of the H.264 encoder and on-screen displays (OSD).
• DeviceIO service: provides direct communication to the serial ports (this enables VISCA communication with an attached camera to allow full control of the camera and all its features).
• Device Management service: allows control of the platform (e.g. set time and date, etc.).

For detailed information on these services please see the ONVIF documentation; examples of how to use these services are included in Harrier IP Example Software.

This LED illuminates when the adapter is powered, the color of the LED indicates the status of the adapter.

Solid Green: Adapter is powered and working correctly.
Solid Red: The adapter is powered, but there is a fault/problem, e.g. no video data is being received, etc.
