Super-Performance 3Gb/s in a Practical Application

Peter Hoffmann (Director Market Development, Germany)

Signal routing infrastructure that is installed today must be ready for 3Gb/s transport even if there are no immediate plans to exploit it for rates above HD-SDI. However, the data rate increase from 1.5Gb/s to 3.0Gb/s has created some technical challenges that must be overcome for signal infrastructure investments to retain their value over the long term. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to build products today, that overcome the technical hurdles to offer superb signal performance at 3Gb/s and thus assuring your upgrade to 3Gb/s does not result in a down grade in performance. It discusses how long cable lengths – approaching 200m - with 3Gb/s signals are possible. It describes techniques that are used to obtain very low jitter specifications. It also outlines that the added benefit of this super-performance approach results in signals that are more robust. It concludes that investing in 3Gb/s infrastructure today is entirely practical so as to be ready and capable when you are ready to make the transition to the higher data rate.
