What Is a DIN 1.0/2.3 Connector?

DIN 1.0/2.3 is a compact professional coaxial connector commonly used on broadcast cameras, video routers, multiviewers, monitors, converters and high-density patching equipment. Its small footprint lets manufacturers place more SDI ports into limited panel space while maintaining the 75-ohm signal path required by professional video systems.

Compact Design Well suited to routers, converters, monitors and equipment with densely spaced ports.
Professional 75-Ohm Path Designed for compatible SDI video equipment and professional broadcast workflows.
Multiple Cable Formats Available for DIN, BNC, female BNC and HD-BNC equipment connections.

DIN 1.0/2.3 Is Not the Same as HD-BNC

DIN 1.0/2.3 and HD-BNC connectors are both compact, but they use different physical designs and are not directly interchangeable. Standard BNC is also different. Confirm the connector type and gender on both pieces of equipment before ordering.
