SDM 12G SDI Receiver

What the SDM 12G SDI board does inside a Sharp display

The Sharp SDM 12G SDI Receiver is a slot-in board for compatible Sharp large format displays. It fits the Intel SDM slot in the display and handles the 12G SDI video connection internally, so you do not need a separate external converter for each screen. It is built to carry uncompressed, unencrypted digital video in UHD resolution, which suits production work where the picture must reach the screen exactly as it left the source.

Specifications that shape the buying decision

• Video standard: 12G SDI, backwards compatible with HD-SDI, 3G and 6G.
• Signal type: UHD, uncompressed and unencrypted.
• Connectivity: power, video and audio connectors are integrated in the SDM form factor.
• Latency: no delay from camera to display.
• Chaining: video signals can be daisy-chained in large canvas installations.
• Reliability: industrial grade components, ideally suited to 24/7 operation.
• Compatibility: rated at 100% compatibility with supported Sharp large format displays, including PN-LA752, PN-LA652 and PN-LA862.

Where it fits in Qatar

The clearest match is a broadcast or production room in Doha, where a live camera feed has to appear on a monitor with no added delay. A presenter in a studio in Lusail, for example, can check framing on a large Sharp display while a programme is being recorded. A second scenario is a control room in West Bay with several displays forming one large canvas. Because the board can daisy-chain video, the feed can pass from one display to the next rather than being split at each screen. A third is a monitoring room in the Industrial Area that runs around the clock, where the industrial grade build suits continuous use.

What to plan before you order

Start by confirming that your display is one of the supported models and has an Intel SDM slot free for the board. Map the signal path from the camera or switcher to the display, including how many displays will be chained and in what order. The source data does not give an operating temperature or power requirement for the board, so ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the environmental and power details for your specific display before installation. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys, which help check the display location and the route of signal cables before the board is fitted. Organisations buying several units can issue a purchase order (LPO) against one quotation.
