Input and output impedance standards for video signals?
« on: October 08, 2022, 11:27:22 pm »
Is the input impedance the standard for all analog and digital signals, 75 ohms?
what about the output impedance, is there a standard output impedance for video?

AFAIK, yes.  75 Ohms  for input and output on video.

Yep, 75 ohms for output, input and cable. Professional video uses 75-ohm BNC connectors for RGB/Sync. Dunno what you mean by digital video in this context?

I mean video standards such as HDMI as digital.

so if an input asked for 1V ptp, I'd want a 2V ptp signal trough a 75 ohm resistor (or less depending on the buffer impedance I'd use), to result in a 1V signal after it was loaded by the input of a monitor/tv

Would one driver circuit be better than the other in the schematic I attached?
would the bottom circuit have problems with the base of the transistor picking up noise from other components nearby?

actually I realized that the top circuit wouldnt work too good since it would have an output impedance of actually 400 ohms from the large impedance supplying the base

A standard is a standard . 75R is used to get greater bandwith that a 50R will give. A 75R cable is lossier but has lower group delay. 50R is narrow band. An FM radio broadcast may have a bandwith of 200kHz. SD video will need 4.35MHz

Digital video uses 110R, often sent over 75R using a matching transformer. It's worth learning how to tell a 50R BNC from a 75R BNC, a subtle difference.

Pro analog audio uses 600R as do copper  telephone lines.

You dont need an emitter resistor to gnd if you DC couple. Send a current not a voltage. Just drive the line from the emitter via a 75R. .Avoid caps if you can. Sag and such.  Video line drivers are very low cost items, they abound in consumer video kit. EG THS7316DRG4

So why do you ask about analog video? Wasting our time for fun?

no, I asked for video signal standards, I was interested in both, accidentally said 'analog' in the post, since I didn't find any datasheet or specification sheet online for neither.

Almost every digital video standard uses differential pairs with about 100 ohms impedance, the biggest exception being SDI which was meant to run digital video over existing analog video cables.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.

There is always the ITU, founded by Napoleon III.  www.itu.int  Still owned an operated by petty dictators I imagine. Actually they're decrepit bond villains but I'm splitting hairs.
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29

You used to have have to include a picture of a young woman looking back over her shoulder to demonstate video standards.
Standards have improved and thankfully this is no longer a requirement.

With 39 or 180 ohms to gnd, output impedance will surely be lower than 39+39 or 180+68 ohms!
