WOLF-027899
Overview
XMC Development Carrier for XMC Video Output Modules
The XMC-DEV-VO is a bench development carrier designed to evaluate and integrate WOLF XMC video output modules using standard external display and video connectors. It provides a practical lab platform for bring-up, configuration, and validation of multi-display and mixed-interface video egress without requiring a VPX chassis.
The carrier breaks out the installed XMC module’s video links to a broad set of front-accessible interfaces, including DisplayPort, DVI-I, VGA, and LVDS, enabling straightforward connection to both modern and legacy displays and sinks. When used with XMC modules that provide SDI and/or composite video, the board also exposes those channels via dedicated SDI and CVBS connectors.
Host connectivity is provided through a PCIe x8 interface, allowing the XMC module to be exercised from a PCIe-connected development environment while using the carrier’s accessible connectors and test-friendly layout to streamline characterization and integration work.,

Configuration Guide
This development carrier is typically ordered with configuration-dependent video output connector population to match the installed XMC video output module and the intended lab workflow. Contact Sales for the latest ordering numbers and available options.
Some configuration options for this board include:
- Display output breakout population (DP++ outputs and optional legacy/alternate display interfaces)
- Legacy video interface population (e.g., VGA/LVDS/CVBS/SDI where supported by the carrier configuration)
- Lab configuration options (jumpers/switches and test access)

FAQ
WOLF-027899 (XMC-DEV-VO) is a bench development carrier for WOLF XMC video output modules.
Expect:
- Rapid validation of multi-display configurations using common lab connectors
- Easier interoperability testing across modern and legacy display standards
Do not expect:
- A deployed rear-I/O solution—this is a lab tool to de-risk display strategy and software integration.
It provides breakouts such as:
- DVI-I
- Multiple DisplayPort (DP++) outputs
- LVDS
- Optional/conditional (module dependent): VGA, SDI outputs, CVBS outputs
The exact usable set depends on the installed XMC video output module and the carrier population.
High-value tests include:
- Multi-display enumeration and timing validation across the intended sinks
- DP++ adapter strategy validation (HDMI/DVI interoperability)
- Legacy interface validation (VGA/LVDS/CVBS/SDI where applicable)
- Power and stability checks under worst-case display configurations
This is where you confirm that your “display plan” works in reality.
Dev carriers are commonly ordered as configuration-driven tools (connector population aligned to the installed module and lab workflow).
