The Serial Digital Transport Interface (SDTI) uses the Serial Digital Interface (SDI) developed to transport
digital video signals as a carrier for other data types. It requires that the transmitter and receiver have the
same codec.
Ethernet/Power

The ABT conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard for powered devices
Two kinds of power sources are supported:

• power sourcing Ethernet switch.
Full redundancy is obtained with both supplies present at the same time.
