As application environments such as broadcast, live events or so have an increasingly higher standard towards bandwidth, the SDI standard has witnessed contintous evolving. There are a number of 12G SDI products in the market but what is 12G SDI? Why is 12G SDI?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of 12G SDI?<\/strong>
SDI has a number of advantages compared to other interfaces and standards for transmitting professional video and audio including:
Cable lengths
Optical fiber
Physical connector (connectivity)
Fully uncompressed audio and video
No HDCP
Time-code embedded
Latency free
ANC data support (Ancillary)
Rather low Cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, it supports uncompressed, latency-free distribution of signals over the coaxial cable with cable lengths that are unrivalled by the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supports ANC (ancillary data) which is used in broadcast systems. These data packets are distributed in either the vertical or horizontal blanking region of the signal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And last, but absolutely not least, the cost of an SDI cable is typically lower than comparable cables such as HDMI, since the SDI cable is a standard coaxial cable (RG-6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In addition to the above-mentioned support of higher resolutions in 12G SDI, 12G reduces system complexity in a 4K workflow. Instead of 4 x 3G SDI cables to get 4K, you need a single 12G SDI cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could 12G-SDI seeks for better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s known that having 12G input is different from having a system that is flexible and can support both in and output (bidirectional SDI interface). Deltacast has brought a highly innovative solution for 12G SDI capture and playout to market. Their DELTA-12G-elp-h 2C has eight independent channels that can be used either as inputs or as outputs. Two channels support up to 12G SDI and the others up to 3G SDI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many applications where a bidirectional SDI interface adds value, and the media server market is a prime example. It\u2019s especially true for the rental, staging and live events teams, where no two gigs are the same. A media server with the flexibility of combining 12G and 3G, having them as inputs on one gig and outputs on the other \u2013 now that is unrivalled flexibility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does Kiloview do for SDI?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the market’s strong demand for 12G SDI to NDI, Kiloview has launched a high-end professional single-chain 12G-SDI to NDI encoder\/decoder – N30. Its features: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Support single-chain 12G SDI and NDI High Bandwidth bidirectional conversion, dual-use in one machine;Support Tally display, PoE power supply, PTZ control, 12G SDI loop out, camera cold shoe installation and more practical functions;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end-to-end delay is as low as tens of milliseconds, and it is small and portable and fits in your pocket.Product display (small and convenient)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
