HD-SDI cable

Okay, new question. I just got my HPX170, and it included ferrite cores to be used on any firewire or USB cables running from the camera to any other device.

I read up on them, and they seem like a great idea "to reduce EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio-frequency interference)."

So should I go get some for my HD-SDI cable? If not, then why would USB or Firewire need them, but not an RG-59 or RG-6 cable? I'm planning on capturing uncompressed HD from the camera to MX02 to ProRes (I have 25 feet of RG-59).

Thanks...
 
it also occurred to me, after posting, that unlike the other two computer cables, these HD SDI's are shielded. Thus, no perhaps less or no benefit to using a ferrite core.

Nice if we could get that confirmed though...
