Decklink Extreme HD 3D 3Gb/s or not?
Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2017 2:32 pmGreetings members,
I've been working with decklink SDI capture cards for a year now, and I noticed something very confusing with box-labeled specs.
Most cards, and specifically the "HD Extreme 3D", is rated on the box for SDI 3Gb/s, but at the same time, the box says it supports SMPTE 292M and up to 1080 50i.
It is my understanding that 3Gb/s falls under SMPTE 424M, and the pixel support is up to 1080 60p.
So, how is it justified to label the card as SDI 3Gb/s when 1.485 Gb/s is a more accurate description?!
Thank you,
Badri
