Interfaces and Cables
Many interfaces have been designed specifically to handle the requirements of uncompressed digital video (at roughly 400 Mbit/s):
- Serial Digital Interface
- FireWire
- High-Definition Multimedia Interface
- Digital Visual Interface
- Unified Display Interface
- DisplayPort
- USB
- Digital component video
The following interface has been designed for carrying MPEG-Transport compressed video:
- DVB-ASI
Compressed video is also carried using UDP-IP over Ethernet. Two approaches exist for this:
- Using RTP as a wrapper for video packets
- 1-7 MPEG Transport Packets are placed directly in the UDP packet

Famous quotes containing the word cables:
“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
