SDI Video SFP Module Solution for Broadcast Video

Video SFP Fiber Module Solution for HD&UHD Broadcast Video Transport Application

Optcore’s SDI video SFP transceiver module solution has helped many broadcast customers worldwide transport their video signals over optic fiber with high reliability and cost-effectiveness.

We are experiencing the rapid evolution of broadcast video transport for high-capacity HD and ultra-high-definition (UHD) digital transmission. It is time to meet the challenge of the broadcast market’s increased needs and address its unique requirements. The market requires expanding the data transmission capabilities and extended distance throughout the broadcast transport system, at the same time with high reliability and cost-effectiveness. Following the industry standards and SMPTE standards, our solutions cover the application for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G -SDI, and 12G-SDI. All the video SFP modules were carefully designed to support the SDI video pathological signal and provide high performance with the pathological signal.

This solution is ideal for typical applications such as SDI broadcast video routing and production switchers, video distribution amplifiers, cameras and monitors, 4K UHD broadcast video transport platform, SDI to optical fiber converters, and other SDI video systems.

Benefits

• Extend the transmission distance over fiber to max 80km (3G-SDI)
• CWDM technology offers customers the ability to transmit max 18 channels signals on one fiber
• Pass the test of pathological pattern, ensuring the robust performance
• MSA compliant and video Pinout for both data communication and Broadcast video application

SDI Video SFP Glossary

Pathological Pattern – It is a specific pattern of unbalanced DC created by the encoding scheme of the SDI per SMPTE standards. An optical transmitter’s most stressful pathological pattern is a repeating pattern of one high bit followed by nineteen low bits (or the inverse of this). The commonly used datacom SFP module doesn’t support this pattern, while only special Video SFP supports this pattern.
SDI – Stands for “Serial digital interface”, usually referred to as SD-SDI(270Mbps), HD-SDI(1.485Gbps), 3G-SDI(2.97Gbps), 6G-SDI(6Gbps), 12G-SDI(12Gbps).
4K UHD – 4K Ultra High Definition, Ultra HD as it’s also confusingly known).
