Glossary: SDI
"Serial Digital Interface". A standard used in broadcast and high end video systems which descibes how to transmit digital component video over a coaxial cable.
The benefits include:
Uses standard 75ohm coaxial cable with BNC connectors
No loss of resolution or qulity due to analogue->digital and vice versa conversion
No noise or artifacts created due to conversion
No loss of quality due to poor cables
Maintain the full 6.75Mhz bandwidth available in the DVD format
Lossless transmission to over 1000 feet
