SDI (Serial Digital Interface) is a standardized digital video connection protocol used widely in professional broadcast and live-event production. It transmits uncompressed or lightly compressed video, audio, and metadata over coaxial cable, making it a reliable backbone for routing video signals between cameras, switchers, routers, and other production equipment in studios and outside broadcast trucks. SDI connections are available in several variants (SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI) that support different video resolutions and frame rates.
