HD-SDI Cable
SDI cables are robust physically and electrically. You should
rarely have problems with signal transmission unless your cables
are either damaged or too long. Please remember that SDI
cables use locking connectors and will not simply pull out if they
are jerked or tripped over. They are therefore a signicant trip
hazard, and also a hazard to your equipment, which may be
damaged if the cables are mishandled or of a low grade. Please
ensure you test and check your SDI cables; for longer runs
cables of a Belden 1694A specication are recommended.
HDMI Cable
Atomos have a range of HDMI cables with die cast
connectors and coiled cables in a range of lengths and
connections (sold separately).
