These new connectors are engineered to enable the data rates needed for high resolution, uncompressed digital video signals and high frame rates, and support the High Definition standards SMPTE 2082-1, 12G-SDI 4K, D-Cinema, UHDTV1 and UHDTV2.
12G-SDI carries four times the payload of 3G in one single channel, so the 4794R 4K cable saves considerable weight and space compared to existing RG-6 solutions – it is 30-50% lighter than dual link RG-6 and 70-80% lighter than quad link RG-6 solutions.
Cambridge Electronic has also developed 12G-SDI connectors and assemblies for Belden 4855R and Belden 4694R HDTV video cables, and Igus CF Koax1 flexible cables.
