Content providers are looking to maximise consumer’s visual experience by providing higher resolution 4K content, thanks to the increased proliferation of 4K capable displays. With this increased resolution, more data needs to be transmitted. 12G-SDI has dramatically improved the communication of 4K content. A material improvement over multiple 3G SDI streams, it enables a user friendly, lower cost, lower power and higher density solution that will allow stunning content in 4K resolution at 60FPS.
