Flexible SDI Video Cable

Understand the SDI Standards for Your Setup

• 3G-SDI: Supports up to 1080p at 60fps, typically used for HD video.
• 6G-SDI: Supports up to 4K video at 30fps, suitable for higher-resolution outputs.
• 12G-SDI: Supports 4K video at 60fps, providing the highest quality for demanding video applications.

Cable Types for Different Signal Standards

• 3G-SDI: For HD video transmissions up to 3G-SDI, our standard 3G-SDI cable is the ideal choice. This cable is available in lengths from 1 meter up to 100 meters and is designed to maintain signal integrity over extended distances without interference or signal degradation.
• 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI: For higher bandwidth requirements like 4K video at 30fps (6G-SDI) and 4K video at 60fps (12G-SDI), our Canare L-4.5CUHD and L-5.5CUHD BNC cables are the preferred options. These cables ensure top-tier performance and are also available from 1 meter to 100 meters.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Your SDI BNC Cable

• Distance: Signal quality can degrade over long distances. Ensure you select a cable that matches the distance requirements of your event or production space. The Canare L-4.5CUHD and L-5.5CUHD cables are designed to handle longer distances for 6G and 12G signals without compromising quality.
• Flexibility and Durability: For rental events, cables need to be coiled and uncoiled frequently. The Canare LV-61S is designed for high flexibility, making it easy to handle without tangling, while maintaining durability for repeated use.
• Signal Standard and Quality: Higher signal standards (6G and 12G) demand cables specifically designed for higher bandwidth, as lower-rated cables may experience signal loss or quality issues. Ensure you match the cable’s capacity with your setup’s requirements to maintain high-resolution outputs.

Recommended Product Setup for LED Rental Events and Productions

• For 3G-SDI setups, our standard 3G-SDI cable (1m-100m) provides reliable HD transmission with smooth flexibility for easy handling.
• For 4K productions requiring 6G or 12G-SDI capabilities, choose the Canare L-4.5CUHD or L-5.5CUHD BNC cables, as they support the increased data load necessary for 4K video with enhanced clarity and robustness over longer distances.

Conclusion

Selecting the right SDI BNC cable based on your signal requirements, distance, and flexibility needs ensures a smooth and professional video production experience. The Canare LV-61S is ideal for events that need quick setups, while the L-4.5CUHD and L-5.5CUHD models cater to high-quality 4K transmissions, making your video setup robust and reliable.
