The Decimator converts HDMI to SDI or vice versa but does not support HDCP. Serial digital interface (SDI) is a family of digital video interfaces that includes SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and higher bandwidth interfaces up to 24G-SDI. SDI has two levels, level A for uncompressed video and level B for dual link or dual stream formats. SMPTE 424M, also known as 3G-SDI, supports bitrates up to 2.97 Gbps for 1080p video at 50 or 60 frames per second over a single cable.
