See http://www.extron.com/company/article.aspx?id=sdi for a good discussion on this. The summary is that with good equipment and cable you can get 100M/300ft. If you want to go further than this, use SDI to fibre converters. With single-mode fibre you can get up to 10km.

What is SDI video?

SDI stands for Serial Digital Interface. It is a *format* for transmitting video over cable. The cable can be a coax, ethernet, whatever - SDI simply dictates how the video is coded over those wires. Consequently SDI must be encoded and decoded on either end of the cable. A common use would be to feed video to a HD-SDI switching unit for use in a live broadcast situation. If you plan on switching HD video it's basically the only way to go under $10K

What is diff between HD sdi and sdi video for video mixer unit?

SDI stands for serial digital interface. It is a broadcast standard for digital video using a single co-ax cable and BNC connectors with a 75Ohm impedance. The signal carries digital component video, audio and other control data. SDI can also be carried over optical fiber although this is generally only used for long distances in the order of hundreds of metres or yards. Although the connection is the same as that used for composite or analog component signals, the two are not compatible and cannot be interchanged without conversion between analog and digital. SD-SDI runs at 270Mbit or 360Mbit and supports standard definition video signals without compression. It is used as the standard link between equipment in studios and edit suites. HD-SDI uses the same physical interface but runs at 1.48Gbit, five times the data rate of standard definition. It is a component format like the SD equivalent and supports 720p, 1080i at 50Hz and 59.94Hz. Like the SD version, it carries full bandwidth video without compression. The longest physical link for HD-SDI is typically in the order of 125 metres or 400 feet. Longer cables cause signal losses that will cause unreliable data transfer although the precise length is dependent of the type of cable used. Vision mixers or switchers often use inputs that can run as SD or HD. Some have dedicated inputs. Likewise, outputs can be switched between SD and HD in some units while others may have separate outputs offering and HD and SD version of the same content. The exact configuration depends on the manufacturer and the model. SDI is not found outside professional broadcast environments.

How do you adjust the clutch on vw caddy sdi 98plate?

You can't adjust it, it is an auto-adjust cable, once fitted thats it. If you get it wrong first time you will need to buy a new cable and try again. learnt this the hard way.


What is the faster a sdi or a tdi?

If you want good fuel economy, the SDI is for you. If you want a lot of torque, your best bet is to go for the TDI. The SDI doesnt have a turbo but the TDI does.


What is SDI signal?

SDI stands for serial digital interference. It is a video interface used within broadcast environments and supports both SD and HD signals. It runs on a single co-ax cable with BNC terminations. As well as video, the signal carries audio and other ancillary data such as closed captions, content identification and test signals. SDI is not found outside broadcast facilities so it will not be seen on domestic televisions or players.

What is CA SDI on your pay stub?

From the State's website: California State Disability Insurance (SDI) is a partial wage-replacement insurance plan for California workers. The SDI programs are State-mandated, and funded through employee payroll deductions. SDI provides affordable, short-term benefits to eligible workers. Workers covered by SDI are covered by two programs: Disability Insurance and Paid Family Leave Insurance.


Does SDI include just video or audio AND video?

SDI and HD SDI are broadcast standard television interfaces. Both run on a single co-ax cable, terminated in BNC connectors and in each case, the signal can contain embedded audio data as well as closed caption data, various signal identifiers and even a test pattern. Sadly, this versatile and well proven connection has never made it to the consumer market as it doesn't support the copy protection systems that are part of the HDMI interface.
