Thank you for making such an informative video. Cleared all my doubts and made it clear my mind on choosing what I needed for my upcoming Live Streaming.
Just a minor point, the B in BNC is widely believed to stand for BAYONET. A French word that has evolved to mean a Push & Twist To Lock Socket Mechanism. That was smart to show the cable examples from KOPUL, KONDOR BLUE & CANARE via B&H. Also a good choice for SDI cables is LAIRD (also available from B&H), they make cables that are pretty supple and malleable for those difficult tight spaces and have limited availability in some colors. The actual BNC connectors used on LAIRD cables have a better install fit and easier release glide to them.
Bruh you say HDMI can only be used in 6ft setup am using it daily in a 50m setup that translates to 164ft and if i need longer i can go up to 100m HDMI cable but i must say it's fiber cable for 100m one and it translates to 328ft don't know what's going on here
Signal strength for HDMI drops right off a cliff-face at about 5m unless you're using an active (powered) cable, but then you're adding latency because those active cables have a repeater and gain booster built in. The things these companies do to shield normies from the reality of tech... Six feet is a bit of an uncharitable estimate. You can get reliable HDMI at about 3m, which is just shy of ten feet, but HDMI is _definitely_ a "shorter the better" cable. The signal is _really_ fragile.
He's missing out on a very important factor... HDMI is weak as hell, during some recent live streaming events, I had 1 hdmi cable break every job from people walking on them; DO NOT use hdmi in any environment where it is basically touched... sdi is what you need for this.

This answers a ton of questions concerning SDI opposed to HDMI. T's crossed, i's dotted!
@Resi - Thank you for the clear SDI explanation. Much appreciated.

Great video!
Thanks for the lesson it was quite helpful
A good presentation but the music is very distracting.
Better yet, run both HDMI and SDI over Cat6/Cat6a Ethernet cable.

You can run a reliable 8K Signal at 60 frames per second via a 2.1 HDMI cable at around 6 feet Max. I hope that helps.
