3G SDI Level A and Level B

Issue/Question

  • 3G-HD SDI will not show up at 1080p 60 frames or 4k 30 frames.
  • Black Magic ATEM video switcher will not send a 1080P60 video feed to the Daktronic DMP8000, but it will send a 1080P30 video feed.

Environment

  • A2 Arena in the Donald E. Young Center
  • Lyle Hare Football Stadium 

Cause

3G HD-SDI uses the double data rate to combine the two Dual Link cables into one cable. 

Resolution

  1. Changed the output settings to Level B on the Black Magic ATEM software. Clicking on the switcher settings ‘gear’ icon in the bottom left hand corner will open the settings window. Click on the General Tab at the top of the window. Change the Switcher Video Standard to 1080p60. Choose Level B fro your 3G SDI Video Output Formatting.
  2. Other output device that have 3G SDI will need this formatting in order to have it work with Daktronic DMP8000.
