What is 12G SDI?

12G SDI or (Serial Digital Interface) is a digital video interface standard defined by the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) and was introduced in 2015 under the SMPTE ST 2082 standard.

Its primary use is for the transmission of uncompressed, unencrypted digital video signals at a rate of 12 gigs per second. This makes it ideal for 4K 60p video, especially for 2160p video formats at 60 FPS in broadcasting, film, 4K video cameras and other professional settings.

A key point is that as the transmission rate increases there will be a higher demand on the cable which also impacts the achievable distance. Generally solid conductor coaxial cables will achieve longer transmission distances however these cables are thicker and suited for fixed installation. This means to support stable 12G SDI transmission without interference for mobile applications, high quality speciality cables are required.

Dependent on device our ultra-flexible 2 nd generation 12G SDI video cable can support 3G SDI transmission to a distance of approximately 45m, 30m for 6G SDI and 20m for 12G SDI.
