12g SDI vs 3G SDI
The main difference between a 12G SDI cable and a 3G SDI cable is the amount of data they can transmit. A 12G SDI cable can transmit up to 12 gigabits per second of data, while a 3G SDI cable can only transmit up to 3 gigabits per second.
This means that a 12G SDI cable is capable of transmitting higher resolution and higher frame rate video signals than a 3G SDI cable. For example, a 12G SDI cable can transmit 4K video at 60 frames per second, while a 3G SDI cable can only transmit 4K video at 30 frames per second.
In terms of physical differences, a 12G SDI cable typically has a larger diameter and heavier weight than a 3G SDI cable due to the additional data channels. Additionally, 12G SDI cables are generally more expensive than 3G SDI cables due to their higher data capacity and specialized construction.
As 12G / 4K UHD continues to shape the landscape of broadcast TV, sports, live events and commercial production workflows, Laird delivers the most advanced BNC cables on the market for effectively transmitting signals up to 325 feet.
