Digital Video - Interfaces and Cables

Interfaces and Cables

Many interfaces have been designed specifically to handle the requirements of uncompressed digital video (at roughly 400 Mbit/s):

  • Serial Digital Interface
  • FireWire
  • High-Definition Multimedia Interface
  • Digital Visual Interface
  • Unified Display Interface
  • DisplayPort
  • USB
  • Digital component video

The following interface has been designed for carrying MPEG-Transport compressed video:

  • DVB-ASI

Compressed video is also carried using UDP-IP over Ethernet. Two approaches exist for this:

  • Using RTP as a wrapper for video packets
  • 1-7 MPEG Transport Packets are placed directly in the UDP packet

Famous quotes containing the word cables:

    On the bare upland pasture there had spread
    O’ernight ‘twixt mullein stalks a wheel of thread
    And straining cables wet with silver dew.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
