“High-performance hybrid SDI/IP solutions are critical in next generation television systems, and the ability to deliver uncompressed UHDTV over COTS IP hardware is a key enabling technology for the adoption of both UHDTV production and hybrid SDI/IP solutions,” said Johnny Dolvik, Chief Product and Development Officer at Nevion. “Semtech is an industry leader in UHD-SDI interfaces, and we are pleased to be able to demonstrate the interoperability between our media gateway and Semtech’s UHD-SDI solutions, and look forward to working further together in the future.”

Semtech’s UHD-SDI products feature ultra-low power consumption and provide industry-leading performance at 12Gbps rates. UHD-SDI is ideal for UHDTV infrastructures, including routers, cameras, monitors, switchers and more. It offers pristine image quality, is backwards compatible with existing SDI systems and is standardized by both SMPTE and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), simplifying UHDTV infrastructure upgrades and reducing risk for broadcasters.

Key Features of the GS12141 & the GS12181

• Multi-standard operation: 1Mb/s to 11.88Gb/s for increased design flexibility and a wider range of end-product applications
• Performance optimized: For 11.88G/s with ultra-long cable reach at all data rates enabling designs that offer maximum performance at all data rates (GS12141) and ultra-low additive jitter for increased PCB design margin and class leading output return loss performance that surpasses SMPTE specifications at all rates, simplifying board optimization, speeding time to market (GS12181)
• Ultra-low power consumption: Ideal for multi-channel high density designs to minimize overall power consumption
• Advanced feature set: Output pre-emphasis for compensating for long PCB trace lengths, simplifying PCB optimization (GS12141) and input trace equalization to compensate for long input trace lengths, critical for optimizing performance in 12G UHD-SDI designs (GS12181)
