SD-SDI PCM Audio is 20 bits, but it can also support 24 bits according to
SMPTE 272M.
Sampling rate can also range from 32Khz to 48Khz.

For HD, there's also SMPTE 299M which mandates 24 bit audio, and also
sampling rates range from 32Khz to 48Khz.

You can also have 20 bit in HD (and also SD) in the form of non-audio PCM
Data, using SMPTE 337M format (for Dolby-E and other compressed formats
described in SMPTE 338M).
