Introduction SDI (Serial Digital Interface) has been used in TV broadcasting or other video related industries for a long time. It is overseen by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) as SMPTE 259M. It's an extremely robust signal and can be used to transmit digital video data for a very long distance with an extremely low error rate. The SDI Modification DIY Kits convert the decompressed MPEG-2 data directly from the MPEG-2 decoder inside a DVD player or set-top-box and output SDI through the finest Canare connectors. This signal is transmitted through a BNC cable and captured by an SDI capture card or SDI-equipped scaler. With modern digital displays, it now means that you can have a pure digital signal path right from source to screen. SDI can transmit PAL and NTSC 480i and 576i signals and is perfect for all Standard Definition sources.
