SDI Port Description
The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) port allows the camera to deliver 12 Gbps of image bandwidth with greater resolution, frame rates, and color fidelity. This single BNC cable solution makes it ideal for the 4Kp60 format.
NOTE: Always use 12G-SDI BNC cables when connecting the camera’s SDI port, regardless of the resolution.
The SDI port is located on the back of the camera body.
WARNING: Always connect the DC power cable (or batteries) before connecting the BNC SDI cable. Always remove the BNC SDI cable before removing the DC power cable (or batteries).
