Experimental Hardware Every component used in the hardware is a commercial product.

Transmission performance n 24 h transmission test with 2 km fiber was completed with no error.

Summary n n Practical optical interface for 10 Gb/s image transmission was confirmed by experiments. All Formats defined in S 274 M ( e. g. 4: 4: 4, 1080/60 P ) and 4 k 2 k D-Cinema image can be transmitted. n Error free transmission over 2 km has been confirmed. n No exclusive component is needed for the interface. n Estimated hardware cost would be around twice as much as current 1. 5 Gb/s SDI. Is the interface worth standardizing?
