The Imaging Source DFG/HDSDI

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFG/HDSDI converts digital serial video signals into uncompressed image data streams for USB 3.0 interfaces. HD-SDI is a serial, digital interface, primarily designed to transmit uncompressed and unencrypted video data over one or more coaxial cables with BNC connectors at a nominal impedance of 75 ohms. The cabling and connector type are relics from the previous analog video standard. When using a high-quality cable, the maximum cable length can be up to 100 meters. The DFG/HDSDI converter supports digital and analog cameras in monochrome and color.

The Imaging Source’s comprehensive range of cameras with USB 3.1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, GigE interfaces, and other innovative machine vision products are renowned for their high quality and ability to meet the performance requirements of demanding applications.
