Serial
Digital Component (SDI) is now the basic format for broadcast TV
production. The intention of the UK government to switch off the
analogue transmitters, although some time away, will see the steady
increase in viewers with digital receivers.
Working
with SDI signals presents a number of challenges that were not encountered
in the analogue domain (e.g. conversation between SDI and PAL can
lead to the signal being 'Out of Gamut' and rejected by broadcasters.
The digital active line is one microsecond longer than in PAL and
can result in a transmitter glitch).
