Ultra High Definition Video (also known as “Ultra HD” or “4K”), with 4x the resolution of 1080P HD video, requires an interconnect system that can transfer data at a rate of up to 12 Gbps. Amphenol RF’s line of 12G BNC, HD-BNC and MCX products are optimized for 4K Ultra HD broadcast video, providing fully intact signal transmission on a single channel. These connectors are designed for 12G-SDI video applications and come in a variety of PCB mounting and cable terminations.
12G SDI connectors offer versatile solutions across various broadcast applications by providing reliable, high-quality video transmission in demanding production environments. In live broadcasting scenarios, such as sports events or news coverage, 12G SDI connectors enable the seamless transmission of high-definition video signals with minimal latency, ensuring real-time delivery to viewers. Additionally, in studio production settings, where multiple cameras and equipment are interconnected, 12G SDI connectors simplify cable management by allowing the transmission of high-resolution video signals over a single cable, reducing clutter and setup time.
Furthermore, in post-production workflows, these connectors facilitate the transfer of large video files with uncompromised quality, streamlining editing, color grading, and mastering processes. Moreover, in outdoor or remote broadcasting setups, 12G SDI connectors provide robust and reliable connectivity, capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions and ensuring uninterrupted transmission of video signals.
The 12G SDI connector supports a high data transfer rate of up to 12 gigabits per second (Gbps), enabling the transmission of uncompressed 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) video signals with a single connector.
12G SDI connectors adhere to industry standards set by organizations such as the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), ensuring compatibility and interoperability with a wide range of video equipment and devices.
Bayonet coupling mechanisms for both BNC and HD-BNC are available.
MCX (Micro Coaxial) connectors feature a push-on coupling mechanism, allowing for quick and easy mating without the need for twisting or threading, ideal for applications where fast connection and disconnection are required.
12G SDI connectors are available in both PCB-mount and cable-mount configurations, providing flexibility in design and installation for different applications and equipment.
While designed for 12G SDI transmission, these connectors are often backward compatible with lower SDI standards (such as 6G, 3G, and HD-SDI), allowing for seamless integration into existing video production setups.
Transmission of audio and video content to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, enabling users to access live or on-demand media content while on the move.
Video encoders convert analog or digital video signals into a compressed format suitable for transmission over networks, enabling efficient video streaming and distribution.
Patch panels provide a centralized location for connecting and managing multiple network or audio/video cables, facilitating easy routing and organization within a system.
Video routers manage the distribution of video signals between multiple sources and destinations, allowing for flexible and efficient switching of video feeds in broadcasting and production environments.
High-definition cameras capture video footage with increased clarity and resolution, suitable for a wide range of applications including broadcast production, surveillance, and filmmaking.
Remote viewing involves accessing and viewing live or recorded video footage remotely over a network or the internet.
Digital signage displays dynamic content such as advertisements, information, or wayfinding messages using digital screens, offering versatile and engaging communication solutions in various public spaces and commercial environments.
