The RCA connector was developed by the Radio Corporation of America. ●BNC: Stands for Bayonet Neill-Concelman. A cable connector used extensively in television (named for its inventors).
●6G-SDI: Standardized in SMPTE ST-2081 released in 2015, 6Gbit/s bitrate and able to support 2160p@30. ●12G-SDI: Standardized in SMPTE ST-2082 released in 2015, 12Gbit/s bitrate and able to support 2160p@60. ●U-SDI: Technology for transmitting large-volume 8K signals over a single cable. a signal interface called the ultra high definition signal/data interface (U-SDI) for transmitting 4K and 8K signals using a single optical cable. The interface was standardized as the SMPTE ST 2036-4.
generally have a wider core diameter and are used for short-distance communication links and for applications where high power must be transmitted. ●Single-mode Fiber: Fiber that support a single mode are called single-mode fibers. Single-mode fibers are used for most communication links longer than 1,000 meters (3,300 ft). ●SFP: Small form-factor pluggable , is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface module used for both telecommunication and data communications applications.

●NDI: Network Device interface (NDI) is a software standard developed by NewTek to enable video-compatible products to communicate, deliver, and receive broadcast quality video in a high quality, low latency manner that is frame-accurate and suitable for switching in a live production environment over TCP (UDP) Ethernet based networks. NDI is commonly found in broadcast applications.
●Contrast Ratio: The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low light output level. In theory, the contrast ratio of the television system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several limitations. Well-controlled viewing conditions should yield a practical contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1. ●Colour Temperature: The colour quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a light source. The higher the colour temperature, the bluer the light.
●HDR: is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than what is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The aim is to present a similar range of luminance to that experienced through the human visual system. ●UHD: Standing for Ultra High Definition and comprising 4K and 8K television standards with a16:9 ratio, UHD follows the 2K HDTV standard.
