INSIGHTS
The last year has seen a lot of excitement around the transition to IP in the broadcast environment, but SDI still plays a vital role.
The hybrid SDI/IP models that will be adopted by most operations still need to consider the role that SDI plays for HD, but especially important is the role of SDI as it pertains to the introduction of UHD-1 (commonly referred to as 4K).
The SDI interface is the only standardized means for interconnecting UHD devices today, and those who are looking to roll out UHD-1 need to have a much better understanding of the challenges and issues that may result in a hybrid environment.
Please join guest speaker, Semtech’s Nigel-Seth Smith, as he highlights some of those challenges; provides an update to the current technologies and discusses why SDI will continue to be an enabling technology for the roll out of UHD-1 (and UHD-2).
