Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced the availability of its 6G
UHD-SDI GS6042
adaptive cable equalizer and GS6080
6G UHD-SDI cable driver, two chips that provide the longest full-speed
transmission distance for ultra high-definition systems.
These parts are the latest additions to Semtech’s comprehensive,
end-to-end platform of 6G-UHD-SDI video solutions. Semtech’s Gennum
Product Group will be showcasing these parts at the International
Broadcast Convention (IBC) show in Amsterdam in Hall 10 booth F30.
The GS6042 delivers the industry’s longest cable reach at 6G UHD-SDI
data rates. The part also features best-in-class cable reach at 3G, HD
and SD data-rates. In order to facilitate a simple transition from
existing 3G board designs, the GS6042 is also footprint compatible with
Semtech’s existing GS3440 long reach equalizer.
In addition, the GS6080 is the industry’s first 6G UHD-SDI cable driver
and in conjunction with the GS6042 equalizer, form the industry’s best
performing solution for 6G UHD-SDI connectivity. For applications
requiring more than one output, the GS6081
features dual 6G-UHD-SDI outputs.
At the IBC show, the Semtech booth will feature a 6G UHD-SDI partner
wall that showcases the current 6G-UHD-SDI systems designed using
Semtech technology. Semtech will be hosting an invitation-only VIP suite
to demonstrate its next-generation UHD-SDI solutions.
“The industry’s acceptance of 6G-UHD-SDI has been overwhelmingly
positive. By listening and responding to our customers’ requirements, we
have designed a 6G UHD-SDI product platform that both offers
best-in-class performance at all data rates and a feature set that
facilitates the fast and simple transition from their current 3G
designs,” said Gary Beauchamp, Senior Vice President & General Manager,
Gennum Product Group.
