Semtech is an industry leader in high-speed signal integrity solutions for both the broadcast (UHD-SDI) and datacom (10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE) markets. Semtech is actively involved in international standardization of next generation interface technologies in both SMPTE, and the IEEE. As such, Semtech is uniquely positioned to provide technology insight into both SDI and IP real-time media transport.

“Semtech is very active in our standardization activities and we appreciate the insight into UHDTV infrastructures this presentation will bring,” said Bob Hudelson, SMPTE Sacramento Section Chair. “UHDTV continues to gain traction in the market and this type of knowledge is an invaluable tool for our members.”

“The adoption of UHDTV by the broadcast industry continues to gain momentum, and Semtech is pleased to be able to share its expertise in UHDTV infrastructure technology at the SMPTE Sacramento Section meeting,” 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, enables commercial off the shelf (COTS) UHDTV technology solutions today that meet the demanding requirements of broadcasters. UHD-SDI is the only standardized UHDTV interface available and is backward compatible and interoperable with existing SDI infrastructures, making it the preferred interface for next generation UHDTV infrastructures.”

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.
