Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced its new GS3490
configurable 3G-SDI I/O device with class-leading performance. The
device is the latest addition to Semtech’s comprehensive, end-to-end
platform of broadcast
serial digital interface (SDI) solutions.
Semtech’s Gennum Product Group will be showcasing their latest SDI
solutions at the National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas
