Product Information
Full details
The Kondor Blue 22 Inch 12G SDI Cable is designed for videographers and filmmakers needing reliable, high-resolution video transmission between cameras, monitors, and transmitters. Its key benefit is providing a stable connection for 4K 60p and 8K 30p video with reinforced, right-angle connectors for secure attachment. A potential caveat is the 22-inch length, which may be too short for some complex setups requiring longer cable runs. This durable, nylon-braided cable ensures non-stop performance with robust connectors suitable for demanding production environments.

FAQs
What is the maximum resolution and frame rate this cable supports?
This 12G SDI cable supports resolutions up to 4K at 60 frames per second (4K 60p) and 8K at 30 frames per second (8K 30p).
What is the length of the cable?
The cable length is 22 inches, which is approximately 0.5 meters.
Are the connectors angled?
Yes, the cable features reinforced right-angle connectors.
What type of equipment is this cable suitable for?
It is suitable for professional video equipment such as cameras (e.g., Blackmagic URSA 12K, RED KOMODO) and monitors (e.g., HDR 12G Video Assist monitors) that utilize SDI connections.
Can I use this cable for lower resolutions like 1080p?
Yes, this 12G SDI cable is backward compatible and can be used for lower resolutions such as 1080p, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI signals.
Is the cable shielded?
While not explicitly detailed, professional SDI cables typically feature robust shielding to ensure signal integrity and minimize interference, and the nylon braiding adds an additional layer of protection.
Does the cable have a warranty?
Kondor Blue typically offers a lifetime warranty on their cables, standing behind their premium quality.
Troubleshooting
No video signal detected on the monitor.
Ensure the cable is securely connected at both the source and the display ends. Verify that the correct input is selected on the monitor. Test with another known working SDI cable to rule out cable failure. Confirm both devices are set to compatible resolution and frame rate settings.
Flickering or dropped frames during video playback.
Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable length is within the supported range for the resolution being transmitted. Try reducing the resolution or frame rate to see if the issue persists. Clean the SDI ports on both devices.
Connector feels loose or does not secure properly.
Inspect the BNC connector for any damage or debris. If threaded, ensure it is being properly engaged. If the connector is damaged, the cable may need replacement. Try on a different device to see if the issue is with the cable or the port.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports high resolutions (4K 60p, 8K 30p) for professional video production.
- Reinforced right-angle connectors offer a secure and space-saving connection.
- Durable nylon braiding enhances longevity and protects against damage.
- Compact length minimizes cable management issues in tight setups.
- Compatible with a wide range of professional cinema cameras and monitors.
Cons
- The 22-inch length may be insufficient for camera setups requiring longer cable runs.
- Right-angle connectors might not be suitable for all device port orientations.
- Nylon braiding, while durable, can add a slight stiffness compared to softer rubberized cables.
- Relies on specific SDI ports for connection, limiting use with non-SDI devices.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect one end of the SDI cable to the SDI output port on your camera or video source and the other end to the SDI input port on your monitor or recording device. Ensure both ends are firmly seated. If the connectors are threaded, gently screw them in until snug to secure the connection.
Compatibility: This cable features Male SDI (BNC) connectors on both ends, designed for standard SDI ports. It is compatible with any equipment featuring 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, or SD-SDI ports, including but not limited to cameras like the Blackmagic URSA 12K, RED KOMODO, RED VRaptor, and monitors such as HDR 12G Video Assist.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors.
- Store the cable loosely coiled, not tightly wound.
- Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning. Avoid using solvents.
- Protect the cable from extreme temperatures, moisture, and physical abrasion.
