SDI, HDMI or IP, what technology is the most appropriate for your project?

Most of video management (VM) solutions on the market allow you to "do the same thing" from a functional point of view: to route, to display, to record, to stream, to ensure a connection with the PACS.

However, not all VM designers and manufacturers choose the same technology on which to build their solution. How then to distinguish the VM solutions on the basis of a comparison between the different technologies?

What are the differences and the impacts of one technological choice over another? Which one to favor and in which case?

In the market today, we see a profusion of solutions that are based on IP technology. Does that mean it`s the right one? Why is it interesting? What are the points you have to be careful about?

For us, as a manufacturer, the stakes are twofold:

We have to know how to meet an increasingly demanding level in terms of video management and image quality (constantly evolving, improving)

Be competitive and accessible in terms of price

In this article we will give you the keys to understand these different technologies, first by comparing them with each other and finally by looking more closely at IP technology. Let`s go!
