Transitioning From NTSC to SDI Digital Video Copyright ITS 2013 Sheet 3 Translating between Analog NTSC & SD/HD-SDI At the SDI source At the end of a 100 meter cable Composite Analog Video 1.5  3.0 GB/Sec Bit Stream 6 MHz Bandwidth

Transitioning From NTSC to SDI Digital Video Copyright ITS 2013 Sheet 4 Translating between Analog & SD/HD-SDI 4 Attribute Analog Video SDI Digital Video Raw Video Complex AM, FM and phase modulated signal requiring 6 MHz bandwidth Serial encoded bit stream at bit rates from 270 Mbits/s to 3000 Mbits/sec Sync Pedestal and color burst sync areas scaled generally below the black level A reserved bit patterns (SAV & EAV) defined by SMPTE in the SDI stream Blanking A predetermined voltage level in the video signal ANC space between EAV & SAV is Horizontal “blanking” data space, ANC space between SAV and EAV from first line to line 40 (1080) or 25 (720) is Vertical “blanking” data space. Active Video An AM signal with overlaid phase modulated color information 480 scan lines/frame A stream of image samples between SAV & EAV from 640 (SD) to 1920 (1080) and scan lines from 480(SD) to 1080 (1080) Frame/Field Rate RS Hz /30 Hz Field/Frame RS170A (NTSC) (60/1.001) CCIR 50Hz /25Hz field/frame Progressive and Interlaced Many from to 60 Hz and beyond Progressive and Interlaced

Transitioning From NTSC to SDI Digital Video Copyright ITS 2013 Sheet 6 HD Video Issues Raw Video = high bit rates 720p/60, 1080i/30, 1080p/30 = gigabits /sec 1080p/60 = 2.97 gigabits/secTransport Raw video high bit rates limits transport distances Via Coax < 200 meters Via Fiber < 30Km Raw Video = lots of data One 1080 frame = 2,475,000 pixels One pixel = 20 bits (4:2:2 subsampling) or 24 bits RGB One 1080 frame = 6,187,500 to 7,425,000 bytes of data 1080p/60 = 371,250,000 to 445,500,000 bytes/second Subsampling reduces bytes/frame 4:2:2 subsampling saves ≈ 16% Similar in concept to analog October 24,2013

Transitioning From NTSC to SDI Digital Video Copyright ITS 2013 Sheet 7 Raw HD Video = High Bit Rates Compression Reduces Bit Rate MPEG 2 20:1 to 30:1 (1080p > 18,562,500 to 12,375,000 bytes/sec) H :1 to 100:1 (1080p > 12,375,000 to 3,712,500 bytes/sec) JPEG :1 to 30:1 (1080p > 37,125,000 to 18,562,500 bytes/sec) Extends transport distances H.264 enables broadcast of HD-SDI over GigE networks. Compromises image quality Loss of background detail frame drops freeze frames pixelization Introduces Latency 70 ms > several seconds Splits data space from video October 24,2013
