SDI supports transport of video, audio, digital AES, analog converted to AES), metadata about the video content itself and other ancillary data defined by SMPTE standards incuding SDI standards to transport compressed video standards and 3D-TV.
UHD-SDI is the Next Generation Broadcast Television Production Interface enabling next generation broadcast television and D-Cinema applications for high definition television (HDTV), ultra-high definition television (UHDTV), high dynamic range (HDR), high frame rate (HFR) and wide color gamut (WCG) services.
