To be perfectly accurate (and somewhat pedantic), those HDMI extenders don't convert to Ethernet, they convert to Cat5E/Cat6 cable. Ethernet is a type of network, not a particular type of cable.
Josh this is Wayne LWCCC. Thanks for this video. We were just thinking how to run or what type of cabling to use for our Panasonic Hv camcorders with the hdmi converter box. We are also converting our coaxial cabling end tips with coax to sdi connectors so we don't have to undo all the coaxial cabling we ran. So this helps!!! Thanks for the tech tips
Hi, In another video, i realized that there are cameras that have "CLEAN" and "DIRTY" HDMI output signals. Referring to the Overlay text and glyphs that are sent, and would NOT be desirable in a live set up. How does this work with SDI?
Dice Gamble , Dirty is most notable with certain DSLR camera’s HDMI output, these DSLR’s don’t offer you a BNC connection for an SDI cable., in my experience however limited.
I have a Panasonic AG-HVX 200. How would SDI work for this camera? I want that kind of security but don’t see an SDI output. Any help for this novice would be greatly appreciated!
Gotcha, you could look into a converter like this (although you'll have to power it, which could also introduce more points of failure). It all depends on your use case! www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1333957-REG/decimator_dd_lx_hdmi_sdi_converter.html
first you'd need something like this to convert the analog signal to HDMI, from there I'd recommend using HDMI to distribute to 3 tv's, unless they're too far apart for an HDMI run: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1037093-REG/ocean_matrix_omx_cv_hdmi_video_to_hdmi_pro.html
BoxCast I’m looking to take the signal from a betacam sx deck and put in through a grass valley hdm1 which has HD-SDI input. It would the go from the hdm1 via FireWire to computer for capture
Gotcha, can't say we ever used that type of converter before, but would imagine if it can handle HD-SDI it would be able to input a lower quality as well. It may not hurt to chat with B&H on the converter's product page and ask to be sure: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498356-REG/Grass_Valley_652154_ADVC_HDM1_HD_SDI_to_HDV.html
I have never seen an STI connection, but I do not do professional video. If I were to purchase an HDMI to SDI converter (transmitter/receiver), would I be able to use a BNC T to split the signal out to two TVs without the need of an expensive splitter? According to the website these converter sets go 300', and from what I can tell they are running at 75ohms. So, if I have 2 or more tvs, and additional receivers, could I successfully split the split the signal providing the total length of all cables do not exceed that 300'? Since the signal is unilateral the transmitter should not be able to tell it is split, and since they receivers are not "mated" to their transmitters, they should only see a reduction in signal strength. It is however expensive for me to test this theory and it appears you have everything to try it out :)
The answer is yes, with a provision. You can run SDI from your source (TV1) and then jump from source to source as long as your SDI to HDMI converter box has a re-clocked output. For example the Monoprice Unit #10318 will do this.
This is a cable and connector comparison, not a signal comparison. I was expecting some sort of an explanation on how come that the HDMI has many pins and SDI is just a single wire (by the looks of it).
Samuel Gabura i believe the difference lies in signal waveform. Kinda like fiber optics where bits of information travel one way down the wire with bits of information. It should be possible to transmit huge quantities of data down a high quality coax in a form similar to internet pulses and be demuxed inside the tv/monitor back to a visual signal we can understand. Hdmi uses multiple tiny wires to communicate bi-directionally. As in the tv communicates with the video source and vice versa AND carries a much less interlaced version of video and audio in one direction. I COULD be wrong in my understanding of how these work, if I am someone please educate me further.

That coax cable on the SDI description slide looks like it's 50ohm antenna cable not 75ohm SDI cable.

Hi Wayne, glad I could help! Let us know if you need anything else!
Great video - short, fun and to the point!
thanks!
Hi,

How does this work with SDI?
Dice Gamble , Dirty is most notable with certain DSLR camera’s HDMI output, these DSLR’s don’t offer you a BNC connection for an SDI cable., in my experience however limited.
Do both cables carry audio signals from the cameras
They do
I have a Panasonic AG-HVX 200. How would SDI work for this camera? I want that kind of security but don’t see an SDI output. Any help for this novice would be greatly appreciated!

has anyone ever tried the hd-link with cameras before? is so, please tell me your review
my camera has RCA output. how do i use this SDI to split the signal to 3 TV's?

Can i conect a standard sdi device to a HD-SDI device? Or put another way is SD-SDI compatable with HD-SDI?
Hi George, HD-SDI is backward compatible, but what specifically are you looking to do?
