Serial Digital Interface
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) defines various Serial Digital Interface
(SDI) standards for transmission of uncompressed video.
The following SMPTE standards are popular in video broadcasting applications:
• SMPTE 259M standard - more popularly known as the standard-definition (SD) SDI; defined to carry
video data at 270 Mbps
• SMPTE 292M standard - more popularly known as the high-definition (HD) SDI; defined to carry video
data at either 1485 Mbps or 1483.5 Mbps
• SMPTE 424M standard - more popularly known as the third-generation (3G) SDI; defined to carry video
data at either 2970 Mbps or 2967 Mbps
