Have you ever experienced the splash screen, black or blue screen or lagging frame when using
HD-SDI (High definition Serial Digital Interface) fiber converter at the 3Gbps data rate? If so, todays
contents about 3G-SDI video SFP (small form-factor pluggable) module may be very useful for you
to escape this predicament.
About 3G-SDI
With the wide deployment of fiber optics, the HD (high definition) video transmission over fiber is
no longer a dream. We are familiar with the HD video interface such as HDMI (High Definition
Multimedia Interface), HD-SDI, HD-CVI (High Definition Composite Video Interface) and so on. But
what is 3G-SDI?
3G-SDI is an updated version of HD-SDI which can offer nominal data rates of 1.485 Gbit/s (dual link)
and 2.970 Gbit/s serial link, respectively. 3G-SDI system can support the digital video signals with
SMPTE424M, SMPTE292M, SMPTE259M, SMPTE297M , SMPTE305M and SMPTE310M standards,
as well as the DVB-ASI (EN50083-9) format digital video signals. Similar with HD-SDI, 3G-SDI is
generally used for the television broadcasting. But as the technology advances, it is now widely
applied in global security applications such as high-end surveillance or unmanned systems, allowing
simple designs or upgrades with full HD cameras.

Case 2: Using 3G-SDI SFP transceivers which can both transmit and receive over a duplex LC SMF.
Case 3: Using a pairs of 3G-SDI BiDi SFP transceiver which can both transmit and receive over a
simplex LC SMF. This solution can help save more cost on fiber.
