- Abstract
- SMPTE and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) have both recently adopted new standards for a 3-Gbit/sec (nominal) SDI interface using 75Ω coaxial cable and BNC connectors. The interest in these interfaces is driven by a desire to be able to transport 1080-line progressive format video over a single-link interface, rather than the dual-link interfaces currently used. The implementation of this interface with existing infrastructure components such as patch panels, connectors, coax cable types, and such, has been studied, and key components have been realized in silicon. The results of this work and key design guidelines are discussed in this paper.

bio
John Hudsonis senior manager of new product definition in the Video Products Division of Gennum Corp., where he is responsible for the definition of semiconductor devices for serial data transport, image processing, system timing, and analog and digital A/V interfaces. He is also Gennum's representative for international standardization and actively contributes to the SMPTE standardization process. Prior to joining Gennum in 1999, Hudson worked for 14 years at Sony Broadcast and Professional Europe, as a design engineer/principal design engineer in the Systems Product Development Group. Hudson received a Higher National Diploma in electronics and communications systems engineering from Farnborough College of Technology in 1986 and began his career as an electronics technician apprentice at the Military Vehicle Engineering Establishment in Chobham, England.Nigel Seth-SmithGraduated from Southampton University in 1974, and first digitized a video signal at the IBA in 1977bio
Nigel Seth-Smith graduated from Southampton University in 1974, and first digitized a video signal at the IBA in 1977. Since then, he has led design departments at Scientific-Atlanta, DPS, and Snell & Wilcox, before moving to product definition at Gennum in 2002. He recently moved to Lymington and so has, almost inevitably, taken up sailing. - Copyright
