The demonstration includes Nevion’s uncompressed UHDTV over IP media
transport solution
Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC),
a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, will
demonstrate the hybrid interoperability of its 12G UHD-SDI product
portfolio by transporting ultra-high definition video over an integrated
SDI and IP network at the International
Broadcasting Convention (IBC) exhibition in Amsterdam on September
10-15, stand 10.F46.
The demonstration features a multi-format
SDI/IP media gateway from Nevion,
a leader in media transport solutions, a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
10Gbe / 40GbE IP switch and Semtech’s 12G UHD-SDI products—the
GS12141 cable equalizer and the
GS12181 cable driver. Semtech
gearbox technology will be integrated to enable seamless conversion
between different UHD-SDI interface profiles.
“Our UHD-SDI interoperability demonstration with Nevion’s VS902
illustrates the realization of a fully uncompressed hybrid SDI / IP
infrastructure for UHD-1 production and contribution,” said John Hudson,
Director of Strategic Technology and New Business Development for
Semtech’s Signal Integrity Product Group. “Nevion is a leader in hybrid
media transport solutions, and the VS902 is a class-leading product that
interoperates with Semtech’s entire portfolio of UHD-SDI products.”
The VS902 by Nevion is a modular multi-format contribution codec for
IP/Ethernet networks. It enables cost-efficient video transport over a
common unified platform, accessing virtually any wide-area network or
local-area environment, and it provides IP encapsulation and
decapsulation of standard definition, high definition and ultra-high
definition (via multi-link 3G SDI) signals utilizing the
SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) ST2022
standards.
“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)
