HD SDI Slip Rings
HD-SDI slip rings are an indispensable part of modern camera technology. 360° swivel and highest image quality are not only required by modern film cameras but are also indispensable for drones and security cameras.

HD-SDI slip rings for perfect broadcasting
SDI stands for “Serial Digital Interface”. It describes a type of cable and a form of connector that is mainly used in recording and playback devices in professional broadcasting. HD-SDI is an extension of this standard. It enables a data transmission rate that allows digital image recording and playback in high-definition quality. Coaxial cables or optical fibres are used as SDI and HD-SDI cables. The primary task of the HD-SDI slip rings is therefore to ensure interference-free signal transmission at all times.
How the HD-SDI slip rings work
Like all signal-transmitting rotary connections, HD-SDI slip rings are hybrids. They can transmit both signals and power. In the case of camera technology, this means that HD-SDI slip rings not only transmit signals to and from the camera. The power supply for the recording device and peripheral devices can also be provided by a single slip ring. This makes motorised cameras, including sensors and lighting, possible in particularly confined spaces – perfect conditions for ultra-compact remote devices such as high-end camera drones.
HD-SDI slip rings from rotarX are supplied without connectors. The incoming and outgoing cables are open and free for you to assemble yourself. On request, we can also supply the HD-SDI slip rings with your preferred connector. To ensure flawless transmission of power and signal current, rotarX uses only gold-gold contacts in its HD-SDI slip rings. These are corrosion-free and guarantee reliable transmission of HD signals at all times.
Advantages of the HD-SDI slip rings from rotarX
HD-SDI slip rings are used where no compromises can be made in terms of transmission quality and freedom of movement. HD-SDI slip rings are therefore particularly advantageous for their area of application for the following reasons:
- Design tailored to HD-SDI applications
- robust housing made of thick-walled, corrosion-free aluminium
- Designed to protection class IP51 as standard, higher protection classes available on request
- Corrosion-free gold-gold signal transmission in the slip ring
- wide variety of types
Everything about the HD-SDI slip ring is designed for its specific application. Smooth rotation, even during rapid right-left changes, enables perfect camera pans. The robust aluminium housing is perfectly protected against corrosion. The mounting point is also made of this rustproof material. This ensures that outdoor filming is always possible.
The slip ring is protected against interference radiation by the aluminium housing. No interference signals can escape from inside the slip ring either. The typical protection class IP 51 means that the slip ring is protected against dust and splash water. A light rain shower or morning dew will not immediately cause a short circuit in the rotary connection. This makes the HD-SDI slip ring well suited for surveillance cameras. For higher protection classes, we have solutions that make the slip ring fully operational under particularly harsh environmental conditions. With at least 50 revolutions per minute, the rotational speed is high enough to enable even fast pans. Nature shots, car races or other fast movements can thus always be recorded.
HD-SDI Slip Ring Selection
One HD-SDI channel is available per slip ring. More is not necessary, as only one camera is ever controlled by one ring. In addition, the HD-SDI slip rings have at least two and up to 48 rings and thus passages. This makes extremely convenient camera control possible. With an operating voltage of up to 440 volts, you can also connect the HD-SDI slip rings to high-voltage applications. The electrical noise does not exceed 10 milliohms.
The insulation resistance is 1000 megaohms at 500 volts DC. The rotational speed is limited to 50 rotations per minute. More is not necessary for fast camera movement. Unless otherwise requested, we supply the HD-SDI slip rings with a cable length of 300 mm on both sides. Longer cables are available on request at any time.
The HD-SDI slip rings ensure flawless operation in a temperature range from -30°C to +80°C. This means they can withstand even the toughest operating conditions.
Using the HD-SDI slip rings
Use of the HD-SDI slip rings
HD SDI slip rings are primarily used in professional image transmission technology. They are therefore suitable for all areas where high-quality images from remote-controlled cameras are required. This precisely defined area of application means that high rotational speeds are not necessary. HD SDI slip rings are therefore used in the following applications:
- Remote-controlled cameras in film and television production
- drone technology
- property protection
- research
- Damage analysis in sewers
- nature observation
- Astronomy
