Sdi Video Output Connectors - Matrox orion HD Installation And Hardware Manual

SDI video output connectors

The SDI video output connectors on the Matrox Orion HD board are SMB
connectors, used to send HD/SD 3G-SDI video signals. Each connector can
output a different video stream. The SDI video output connectors need to be
connected to SMB to BNC cable adapters. The BNC connectors on these adapters
are high-quality BNC connectors. The SMB to BNC cable adapters connected to
the Matrox Orion HD board and the BNC output connectors on the SMB to
BNC cable adapters are shown in the following image.

Their pin assignment is as follows:
P i n S i g n a l
1 H D / S D _ S D I _ O U T 0
2 ( S H E L L ) G N D
3 H D / S D _ S D I _ O U T 1
4 ( S H E L L ) G N D
You can use a standard BNC-to-BNC video cable (available from your local
electronics store) to interface an HD/SD 3G-SDI video source with one of these
connectors. If the cable has to be longer than normal, you will need a very good
cable to prevent loss. As the data rate increases, you should use a shorter cable for
a clear signal.
