3G/HD/SD IN – Serial digital 3G/HD/SD input 
 

Connect a serial digital video signal, conforming to the SMPTE ST424M standard for 3G input signals, SMPTE 292M 
standard for HD input signals or SMPTE 259M standard for SD input signals, to the BNC labeled 

3G/HD/SD IN

. The 

SME-1901 will automatically switch to the detected line/frame rate format. 

 
 
3G/HD/SD OUT – Serial digital video outputs (SME-1901 only) 
 

The SME-1901 provides up to six 3G/HD/SD SDI video outputs on BNC or DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors, labeled 

3G/HD/SD 

OUT 1 

to 

6

. The SDI video signal conforms to the SMPTE ST424M, SMPTE 292M or SMPTE 259M-C standard. The 

same signal is carried on all outputs. 
 

 
ETH 

 
Ethernet port, supporting 100 Mbps full or half-duplex Ethernet, and Autonegotiate, on an RJ-45 connector.
