2.5.2. Serial loopback

To run the hardware test, connect the transmitter output pin to receiver input pin directly. To validate whether RX is locked to the signal and receive the video data correctly, the on-board LEDs are used to display the RX status.

You may also connect an SDI signal analyzer to the transmitter output pin to view the generated image.
