For an output CLIPSTER also supports the 3-Gbit/s SDI which provides
all features of a standard dual-link connection, but requires only one
connector instead of two. It can be enabled via the software.
The tables below show the signal distribution over the SDI (serial digital
interface) in- and output ports for the different color modes:
