Semtech is an industry leader in high speed signal integrity solutions
for both the broadcast (UHD-SDI) and datacom (10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE)
markets, and is actively involved in international standardization of
next generation interface technologies in both SMPTE, and the IEEE. As
such, Semtech is uniquely placed to provide technology insight from both
sides of the real time media transport debate.
This SMPTE UK Section seminar will feature a broad cross section of
industry experts, challenging common assumptions associated with
implementing next-generation UHDTV infrastructures and providing an
in-depth analysis and status update of proposed solutions.
“This seminar is aimed at providing SMPTE members with knowledge and
awareness of the challenges of moving from SDI to Hybrid to IP
infrastructure,” said Peter Weitzel, SMPTE International Membership
Director and Secretary/Treasurer for the UK Section. “This is critical,
as we will see the growth of UHD live production over the next three
years.”
“The adoption of UHDTV by the broadcast industry continues to
accelerate. Semtech is pleased to be able to participate in this SMPTE
UK Section seminar and offer its expertise in next generation UHDTV
infrastructure solutions,” said Don Shaver, Director of Video Products
for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Product Group. “Semtech’s comprehensive
portfolio of UHD-SDI products, including advanced gearbox technology
that enables seamless transition between UHD-SDI interface formats, will
enable equipment manufacturers to design products to meet the demanding
needs of broadcasters.”
Semtech’s
UHD-SDI products feature ultra-low power consumption and provide
industry-leading performance at up to 12Gbps rates. UHD-SDI is ideal for
UHDTV infrastructures that include 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.
