HD-SDI Cameras are On the Horizon: The Benefits of HD CCTV

0

HD-SDI stands for High-Definition Serial Digital Interface and the technology is used to transport uncompressed digital video signal across moderate distances. HD SDI is a broadcast standard for digital video when using a single coaxial cable and BNC connectors within 100m operating range. It’s the best choice in HD signal transmission. 

 

One of the benefits of using HD-SDI is that it is a cost-effective solution to IP and an improvement over analog cameras. The video is uncompressed at the camera so you get full 1080p transmitted video and the stream is typically undistorted and very reliable. The video stream is also not dependent on the network so if the network fails, the system remains unaffected whereas it would be completely useless in an IP solution.

 

The installation is easier since there is no network configuration required as there is with IP cameras. You can use your existing infrastructure from your analog system and only have to upgrade your hardware. There is also a low latency associated and you get the high definition imaging with this technology. This solution is ideal for a customer that is considering a better image quality than regular analog cameras, but is not ready to make the jump to IP technology either because of price and/or networking complications and implementation.

 

Though this technology is in its infancy stages, this solution will be an asset for integrators and customers that are not yet able to make the jump to a full IP system integration or are not able to implement IP solutions. Stay tuned to ApexCCTV’s newsletter for the release date of the HD-SDI line. These amazing products are right around the bend.
