The 143 and 177 Mbit/s interfaces were intended for transmission of composite-encoded (<a href="/wiki/NTSC" title="NTSC">NTSC</a> or <a href="/wiki/PAL" title="PAL">PAL</a>) video digitally and are now considered obsolete.</li> <li>For <a href="/wiki/Enhanced_definition_television" class="mw-redirect" title="Enhanced definition television">enhanced definition</a> applications (mainly 525P), there are several 540 Mbit/s interfaces defined, as well as an interface standard for a dual-link 270 Mbit/s interface. These are rarely encountered.</li> <li>For <a href="/wiki/HDTV" class="mw-redirect" title="HDTV">HDTV</a> applications, the serial digital interface is defined by SMPTE 292M. Two bit rates are defined, 1.485 Gbit/s, and 1.485/1.001 Gbit/s. The factor of 1/1.001 is provided to allow SMPTE 292M to support video formats with frame rates of 59.94 Hz, 29.97 Hz, and 23.98 Hz, in order to be compatible with existing <a href="/wiki/NTSC" title="NTSC">NTSC</a> systems. The 1.485 Gbit/s version of the standard supports other frame rates in widespread use, including 60 Hz, 50 Hz, 30 Hz, 25 Hz, and 24 Hz. It is common to collectively refer to both standards as using a nominal bit rate of 1.5 Gbit/s.</li> <li>For very high-definition applications, requiring greater resolution, frame rate, or color fidelity than the HD-SDI interface can provide, the SMPTE 372M standard defines the <b>dual link</b> interface. As the name suggests, this interface consists of two SMPTE 292M interconnects operating in parallel. In particular, the dual link interface supports 10-bit, 4:2:2, 1080P formats at frame rates of 60 Hz, 59.94 Hz, and 50 Hz, as well as 12-bit color depth, RGB encoding, and <a href="/wiki/Chroma_subsampling#4:4:4" title="Chroma subsampling">4:4:4</a> colour sampling.</li> <li>A nominal 3 Gbit/s interface (more accurately, 2.97 Gbit/s, but commonly referred to as "3 gig") was standardized by SMPTE as 424M in 2006. Revised in 2012 as SMPTE ST 424:2012, it supports all of the features supported by the dual 1.485 Gbit/s interface but requires only one cable rather than two.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_interfaces">Other interfaces</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Serial_digital_interface&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Other interfaces"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>SMPTE 297-2006 defines an optical fiber system for transmitting bit-serial digital signals It is intended for transmitting SMPTE ST 259 signals (143 through 360 Mbit/s), SMPTE ST 344 signals (540 Mbit/s), SMPTE ST 292-1/-2 signals (1.485 Gbit/s and 1.485/1.001 Gbit/s) and SMPTE ST 424 signals (2.970 Gbit/s and 2.970/1.001 Gbit/s).
