DVD Recorders with HDMI vs. SDI Input

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a commonly used video standard, especially in consumer and commercial environments. It is uncompressed and universal, making it ideal for easy sharing and viewing. The signal can reach approximately 50 feet. There are HDMI products that can extend these distances so we are referring to a standard HDMI interface and cable.

Serial Digital Interface (SDI) offers a much longer reach of up to 300 feet, and it’s much more prevalent among professional broadcast and publication organizations. SDI connections offer a positive locking BNC connector that does not have the problem of coming loose, like an HDMI connector.
