SDI is a one-way, multiplexed protocol designed to carry the highest quality video, audio and metadata over a coaxial cable or fiber. SDI is a professional video signal that is preferred in production environments because of its longer range (up to 300 feet) and reliability. If you’re in an environment in which your cable could be unplugged or tripped over (which should also be taped down anyway), SDI connections are ideal.
SDI is typically used to connect together different pieces of TV studio equipment such as recorders, monitors, PCs and vision mixers. SDI and HD-SDI are usually available only in professional video equipment. These standards are used for transmission of uncompressed, unencrypted digital video signals (optionally including embedded audio and time code) within television facilities; they can also be used for packetized data.
While the adoption of IP is clearly beginning to take off in many parts of the world, SDI is still heavily relied upon in thousands of existing broadcast products infrastructures—largely for the simplicity, security, reliability and familiarity the proven technology provides. SDI will remain a major part of video production infrastructures for several years to come, maybe a decade (broadcast equipment have life spans of 7 to 10 years).
Serial digital interface (SDI) is a family of digital video interfaces first standardized by SMPTE (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) in 1989 for standard definition TV. Nowadays various versions of the serial digital interface support numerous video formats.
SDTV
ITU-R BT.656 and SMPTE 259M define digital video interfaces used for standard definition broadcast-grade video (576i, 480i).
With SDI, delay is kept to an absolute minimum as SDI is a synchronous distribution system meaning signals have the least delay possible when sent from the camera to the vision switcher. The transmission time through an SDI interface is fixed due to the synchronous
nature of the system. The SDI interface is unidirectional so that the signal source sends the signal to the line and the signal receiver receives it. There is no communications needed for the other direction.
The various serial digital interface standards all use (one or more) coaxial cables with BNC connectors, with a nominal impedance of 75 ohms. This is the same type of cable traditionally used in analog video setups. Many old good quality 75 ohm video cabling can be used for SDI. Care needs to be take there are no impedance mismatched on the wiring, for example 50 ohms BNC connectors instead of correct 75 ohm BNC connectors.
SDI has inherent near instantaneous plug-and-play ability. The learning curve for SDI is relatively low as broadcasters are familiar with using 10-bit SDI systems for three decades.
Uncompressed digital component signals are transmitted. Several color encodings are possible in the serial digital interface. The default (and most common case) is 10-bit linearly sampled video data encoded as 4:2:2 YCbCr (digital representation of the YPbPr colorspace). For all serial digital interfaces (excluding the obsolete composite encodings), the native color encoding is 4:2:2 YCbCr format. The luminance channel (Y) is encoded at full bandwidth (13.5 MHz in 270 Mbit/s SD), and the two chrominance channels (Cb and Cr) are sub-sampled horizontally, and encoded at half bandwidth (6.75 MHz). The native resolution for all video components Y, Cb, Cr) is 10 bits.
The SDI interface is self-synchronizing and self-clocking. At low level the data is encoded in NRZI format where a linear feedback shift register is used to scramble the data to reduce the likelihood that long strings of zeroes or ones will be present on the interface. A standard signal level 0.800 volt peak-to-peak is used for digital data transmission. Coaxial variants of the specification range in length but are typically less than 300 meters (980 ft). Fiber optic variants of the specification such as 297M allow for long-distance transmission limited only by maximum fiber length or repeaters.
Video payload (as well as ancillary data payload) may use any 10-bit word in the range 4 to 1,019 (00416 to 3FB16) inclusive; the values 0–3 and 1,020–1,023 (3FC16–3FF16) are reserved and may not appear anywhere in the payload. These reserved words are used for both for Synchronization packets and for Ancillary data headers.
Like SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 292M supports the SMPTE 291M standard for ancillary data that can be used for things such as embedded audio, closed captions, timecode, and other sorts of metadata. SD resolution SDI interfaces provide for 16 channels of embedded audio based on SMPTE 272M standard. Typically, 48 kHz, 24-bit (20-bit in SD, but extendable to 24 bit) PCM audio is stored, in a manner directly compatible with the AES3 digital audio interface. Audio data placed in the (horizontal) blanking periods where the SDI signal does not carry any useful video data.
The SDTV resolution SDI was one widely used for TV production, but it’s usage has dropped because nowadays more and more TV programs are produced in HDTV resolutions. SDI has been usually available only in professional video equipment because various licensing agreements restrict the use of unencrypted digital interfaces, such as SDI, prohibiting their use in consumer equipment.
HDTV interfaces
To be to transpor HDTV resolutions (720p,1080i) a related standard, known as high-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI), is standardized in SMPTE 292M; this provides a nominal data rate of 1.485 Gbit/s. SMPTE 292 was designed to accommodate 1080i HD television at 16:9 aspect ratio with bit rate of 1.485Gbits/s for PAL countries and 1.485/1.001Gbits/s for NTSC countries. SMPTE 296 further added support for 720p HD.
HD-SDI are usually available only in professional video equipment because various licensing agreements restrict the use of unencrypted digital interfaces, such as SDI, prohibiting their use in consumer equipment. At the point of creation, HD video is routed within the production environment uncompressed via HD-SDI at the 1.485 Gbps rate. After compression, the high definition video rate plummets to 19.4 Mbps (about 77:1)
Both the SDI and HD-SDI physical topologies are essentially identical except for operating rate. The HD bitrates have a shorter maximum run length though, typically 100 meters (330 ft). The range of operation for an HD-SDI receiver is specified in SMPTE 292M to at least -20 dB at one-half the data clock rate, or about 743 MHz. Therefore, a standard level 0.800 volt peak-to-peak digital transmission may be attenuated to as low as 0.080 volt, or 80 millivolts, while performing reliably. To perform a cable loss calculation, the designer should look for the attenuation in dB at 743 MHz, or a frequency very close to that value, on the cable specification loss chart. The SMPTE recommends the designer factor in about 10% less cable than the calculated run length so as to build in a safety margin for reliable operation.
The highest frequency required to send a series of one’s and zero’s for an HD SDI bit rate of 1.485 Giga-Bits, is 742.5MHz. However wider bandwidths must be used in a transmission system so that the phase shift at 743 MHz is held to a low level to reduce data bit errors. The frequencies below 742.5 MHz contains the actual picture information you wish to deliver, and any frequencies above 742.5 MHz are needed to keep the signal waveform square like enough that it can be handled properly by the receiver circuitry. The SDI signal standard indicates that signal transition should occur in no less than 270ps, that’s (270 pico seconds) and no faster. That equals a maximum frequency of 1.852GHz (Gigi-Hertz). This is the highest frequency that must pass through the transmission medium to deliver an SDI camera signal in an unchanged condition, without distortion.
The interface circuits that carry the HD-SDI signal are typically AC coupled with a suitable capacitor. Like SDI, HD-SDI employs a signal coding method called NRZI, Non-Return to Zero Inverted. NRZI is a coding method that facilitates recovery of the clock from the actual data transmission. NRZI coding minimizes residual DC component on the signal as well. In the high definition serial digital interface (and in dual-link HD), additional check words are provided to increase the robustness of the interface.
Due to the construction of this coding scheme, the bit rate is equivalent to the frequency component in MHz. In other words, 1.485 Gbps is equal to 1.485 Gigahertz. One HD-SDI feed operates at 1.485 Gbps over low-loss RG6-style video grade coaxial cable. Due considerable higher frequencies than SDI, the HD-SDI demand even better cabling and more accurately right impedance connectors to work well. Care should be taken to guarantee that only 75 Ohm cable and connectors are used when installing any HD CCTV camera. Beware of exceedingly small diameter cables of unknown origin, it has been my experience that these small diameter cables often do not conform to the 75 Ohm standard. Any mis-termination of the cable or connectors can cause “Return Loss” that will degrade the camera signal at the receiver.
HD-SDI compares favorably to other digital transports when considering its robustness for high data rate handling capability over hundreds of feet of coaxial cable. Passive HD-SDI Splitters can be used to split a single HD digital video source into two signals for distribution to several equipment when cable lengths are short. With fiber optic transmission technology, run distance is virtually limitless, depending more on cost than technical issues.
All digital television signals, including high definition rates up to 1920 x 1080 at 30 frames interlaced, are managed successfully over the HD-SDI. The component format allows transmission of HD because the luminance (Y channel) is the only full bandwidth channel. Several color encodings are possible in the serial digital interface. The default (and most common case) is 10-bit linearly sampled video data encoded as 4:2:2 YCbCr. (YCbCr is a digital representation of the YPbPr colorspace). The luminance channel (Y) is encoded at full bandwidth (~75 MHz), and the two chrominance channels (Cb and Cr) are sub-sampled horizontally, and encoded at half bandwidth (37.5 MHz).
Other color encodings are possible by treating the interface as a generic 10-bit data channel. SMPTE 348M describes a variation of HD-SDI called the high definition serial transport interface. HD-SDTI is a protocol whereby data other than video/audio may be transported using the HD-SDI constructs and a portion of the hardware utilized by HD-SDI. Utilization of HD-SDTI for data other than high definition video requires the proper custom formatting and de-formatting hardware for data loading and recovery.
HD-SDI has its variants which can transmit full-bandwidth, 10-bit RGB and an alpha channel. SMPTE 372M standardizes high definition serial digital for full bandwidth transmission; i.e. 4:4:4:4 sampling. Operating at dual-rate (two times the 1.485 Gbps rate) means that twice the information may be transmitted. At nearly 3 Gbps, component video can be accommodated without band-limiting the sample rate for chroma information. The fourth ’4′ in the sampling structure represents the ability to include an ‘alpha’ channel along with video data. The 4:4:4 color sub-sampling gives much higher color accuracy than the familiar 4:2:2 color sub-sampled system.
For audio HD-SDI uses the SMPTE 299M standard. The signal may contain up to sixteen audio channels (8 pairs) are embedded along with the video. Typically, 48 kHz, 24-bit PCM audio is stored, in a manner directly compatible with the AES3 digital audio interface. The audio data is placed in the (horizontal) blanking periods.
When the HD-SDI was not enough for even higher resolutions (like 1080p), first two parallel cables were used, but soon they could be replaced with one 3G-SDI cable. 3G-SDI (standardized in SMPTE 424M) consists of a single 2.970 Gbit/s serial link that allows applications such as digital cinema or HDTV 1080P. Moving to progressive 1080p formats needed the doubling of the bit rate from 1.485Gbits/s to 2.97Gbit/s. SMPTE 424M provided the specification for 3G-SDI to facilitate formats such as 1080p50/59. At nearly 3 Gbps, component video can be accommodated without band-limiting the sample rate for chroma information, meaning 4:4:4:4 sampling of component video or 10-bit RGB and an alpha channel. SMPTE 372M supports a wide variety of component formats and is but one of the stepping stones toward wideband digital cinema recording and support. Because faster data rate and higher frequencies used, 3G-SDI demands even more from video cabling quality than HD-SDI and SDI.
When HD-SDI and 3G-SDI use is limited to the professional devices, and consumer devices use interfaces like DVI and HDMI to transport HD video signals. RGB 8-bit image data (via 10-bit symbols) is transferred over the DVI using three digital data lines and one clock line. The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®) combines uncompressed HD video, multichannel audio, and intelligent format/command data in a single cable. The HDMI basic technology can be though as expanded version of DVI. There are nowadays available quite inexpensive converters that can convert HDMI signal to HD-SDI and HD-SDI back to HDMI. When running HDMI signal over HD-SDI with converter, you need to keep in mind that SDI does not support HDCP (High-Bandwith Digital Content Protection) that is used for protecting HD video signal coming from Blue Ray or set-top-box or computer video card playing back HD video. Typically this means that you can’t usually transport the signal from those sources though SDI with simple converters. Several professional video and HD-video capable DSLR cameras and all uncompressed video capable consumer cameras use the HDMI interface, often called clean HDMI. The computer video output typically is clear HDMI when viewing normal desktop, but usually turns on HDCP when playing back HD video. With HDMI to SDI converters you usually need to keep in mind that SDI support only a small set of video resolutions (read more HDMI to SDI, SDI DA, SDI to HDMI. Pros: professional grade? Cons: potential color space (RGB vs YUV) or resolution mismatches).
4K and 8K interfaces
6G-SDI and 12G-SDI standards for higher resolutions were published on March 19, 2015. 6G became available in three versions; single link, dual link, and quad link. Single link (5.940Gbit/sec) supports distribution of 2160-line (4K) up to
30fps and 1080-line up to 60fps. Dual link (11.88 Gbit/ sec) can distribute 4Kp60 (4:2:2). Quad link (23.76Gbits/sec) provides 4Kp60 (4:4:4), 4Kp120 (4:2:2), and 8Kp30 (4:2:2). Broadcasters looking to move to 4K have up until recently relied on quad-link 3G-SDI, as the bit rate for 4Kp60 is just under 12Gb/s.
12G-SDI is capable of transporting 8Kp video with fabulously low latency. SMPTE released ST-2082 in 2015 to provide adata rate of 11.88Gbits/s and 11.88/1.001Gbits/sec. Now known as 12G-SDI, three versions are available; single- , dual- and quad-link. The single link can provide 4K 4:4:4 at 30fps or 4:2:2 at 60fps. Dual link (23.76Gbits/sec) provides 8K (4:2:2) at 30fps and as we move to quad link (47.52GBits/sec) 8K (4:2:2) at 60fps becomes available along with 4K at 120fps. ST2082-10 (single link) supports Mode 1 (4K/UHD up to 60fps) and Mode 2 (1080p 4:4:4 10 and 12-bit up to 120fps)
Key to the longevity of SDI is its inherent backwards compatibility. If you already have a 3G installation and then upgrade a part to be 12G, then any 3G signals routed through the 12G infrastructure should work reliably.

Going the Distance with High-Res Video
Sept. 7, 2021
https://www.electronicdesign.com/industrial-automation/article/21173684/texas-instruments-going-the-distance-with-highres-video?utm_source=EG%20ED%20Analog%20%26%20Power%20Source&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS210827040&o_eid=7211D2691390C9R&rdx.ident%5Bpull%5D=omeda%7C7211D2691390C9R&oly_enc_id=7211D2691390C9R
Sponsored by Texas Instruments: What’s the most efficient way to transmit uncompressed high-definition video over long distances? ICs developed using high-speed video serializer/deserializer technology offer an easy-to-implement solution.
Here’s a trend you may have missed: the increased use of high-resolution video in a wide variety of applications. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill video, but real 1080p 2.3MP 60 frames/s (fps) as well as 4MP 30 fps. These video resolutions provide the fine detail often needed to justify the use of vide
However, the adoption of high-res capability also has created some design challenges. One of the most difficult is the transport of the video from one place to another over some distance. That challenge is now met with some special integrated circuits described in this article.
High-Res Applications
Today, traditional products like machine vision are able to “see” better than ever before. The fine detail now can identify more defects or other conditions in inspection processes. Robots also benefit from the improved vision, such as detecting obstacles. Medical imaging, surgical robotics, and patient monitoring become more effective with the improved detail.
Other applications that can benefit are surveillance systems used in security installations. Not to mention industrial, factory or automotive applications like radar or LiDAR. Furthermore, high-res video cameras are fast becoming the key sensor in modern automobiles to improve advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and self-driving vehicles.
A New Solution
Texas Instruments now offers its V3Link devices that facilitate high-res data transport. V3Link is high-speed video serializer/deserializer technology that permits the transmission of high-res uncompressed video over distance on a single thin cable. In addition, it offers the ability to carry control signals and dc power over the same cable.
The cable may be coax, 100-Ω shielded, or unshielded twisted pair over a distance of several meters. Wires as thin as AWG 32 can be used to provide cable flexibility and light weight.
High-resolution sensors typically produce a parallel binary output compatible with available standards like MIPI-CSI-2. The idea is to serialize that data for transmission, which is the function of the TI TSER953 V3Link serializer. It supports inputs from sensor interfaces like the MIPI-CSI-2, MIPI-DSI, LVDS, and HDMI; serializes the data; and formats it into packets for transmission at 4.13 Gb/s. The packets incorporate a 16-bit CRC for error detection. An adaptive equalizer is integrated to mitigate the cable losses.
A key feature of the V3Link ICs is the full-duplex capability on the single cable. Data transmission takes place over a forward channel at the 4.13-Gb/s rate. A back channel is provided to carry dc as well as control signals from I2C, SPI, or GPIOs to/from the host processor for the application. The GPIOs often are used for camera synchronization, diagnostics, and control. The serializer and deserializer can be programmed through the host with this feature. The back-channel data rate is 50 Mb/s.
These unique devices make it possible to incorporate high-res video into products heretofore not possible.

Video over HDMI has proven for more than a decade it has a place in professional and broadcast TV infrastructures and its use continues to grow. Will HDMI replace the SDI interface?
https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/content/entry/4238/sdi-or-hdmi-yes
Tomi Engdahl says:
It’s not about one being better than the other, in addition there are various protocols for running HDMI over CAT cable.
SDI is a well established reliable broadcast industry standard. The same cannot be said for many of the CAT cable solutions although HDBaseT is changing this. There is a place for both SDI and HDBaseT depending on various factors.

How to design with video SFP
https://www.embrionix.com/resource/how-to-design-with-video-SFP
The SFP (small form-factor pluggable) was created to be used in telecommunication and datacommunication applications. The form-factor and the electrical interface (host board interface) are specified by a Multi-source agreement refereed as SFP-MSA. The early SFP were created to be transceiver modules, meaning one receiver port (optical receiver also known as ROSA) and one transmitter port (optical laser also known as TOSA).
These SFP were not design to support the SDI video pathological signal (for more information on the pathological signal, please read this article) and their performance with pathological signal were bad and the resulting bit error rate was high.
Video SFP
Generally speaking, the video emSFP is fully compliant with video SFP design and SFP cages and SFP+ cages; we will address this in the next topic. The basic difference is on the power rating of the emSFP, the advanced processing built inside the emSFP and the different bit rate supported by the emSFP, from DC up to 12G SDI.
NOTE: Because the emSFP have more processing power, unfortunately the overall power of emSFP (embrionix video SFP) is higher than standard SFPs (1 watt) and in the same range of SFP+ (1.5 watts).
Video SFP definition
Video is different that data communication, one fundamental difference is that the video is transported in a uni-directional way. Data communication and telecommunication SFP have to transport the data in both ways to establish a link. A video link could be simply a signal fiber or coax signal transported. This reason has been the main driver to create different pinouts for the video SFP.

HDMI vs SDI vs Fiber vs NDI — Which connection should I use for professional video production?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7p7OboXZRQ
Different video interconnects have different purposes. I’ll go over the pros and cons of each.
One sector that heavily uses the NDI method is streaming, e.g. via Twitch or YouTube. It allows for moving video between PCs without any expensive gear like an HDMI capture device. The only real requirement is GBE networking gear. Yes, it is not “professional video production” in the sense you are talking about, but it’s still a viable option for those who stream.

Arduino Does SDI Video With FPGA Help
https://hackaday.com/2023/02/06/arduino-does-sdi-video-with-fpga-help/
If you are running video around your home theater, you probably use HDMI. If you are running it in a professional studio, however, you are probably using SDI, Serial Digital Interface. [Chris Brown] looks at SDI and shows a cheap SDI signal generator for an Arduino.
On the face of it, SDI isn’t that hard. In fact, [Chris] calls it “dead simple.” The problem is the bit rate which can be as high as 1.485 Gbps for the HD-SDI standard. Even for a super fast processor, this is a bit much, so [Chris] turned to the Arduino MKR Vidor 4000. Why? Because it has an FPGA onboard. Alas, the FPGA can’t do more than about 200 MHz, but that’s fast enough to drive an external Semtech GS296t2 serializer which is made to drive SDI signals.
