Semtech's SDI Cable Equalizer and Reclocker Products Adopted by Nevion for Next Generation Media Converter

Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced that its ultra-low power GS3140 cable equalizer and GS6151 reclocker are utilized in the UMC-E00E-4-SFP universal media converter from Nevion, a leader in media conversion and transport solutions to the broadcast television industry. The UMC-EOOE-4-SFP offers flexible conversion between its 3Gb/s SDI, optical, SFP and GbE interfaces.

“Next generation hybrid SDI/IP broadcast infrastructures will require conversion between SDI coaxial, optical and IP media interfaces. The availability of ultra-low power, high-performance SDI interface solutions is critical for next generation broadcast equipment,” said Svein Håvard Haugen, product manager at Nevion. “Semtech is a leader in SDI technology, and the GS3140 and GS6151, with their ultra-low power, high-performance and rich feature sets, uniquely enable our next generation media conversion requirements.”

“Next generation broadcast facilities, with their mix of SDI coaxial, optical and IP interfaces, require seamless media conversion,” said Don Shaver, Director of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Product Group. “Semtech’s high performance SDI solutions enable Nevion’s powerful and flexible UMC-E00E-4-SFP media conversion platform to address the critical requirements of next generation broadcast facilities.”

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, including routers, cameras, monitors, switchers and more. It offers pristine image quality, is backwards compatible with existing SDI systems, and is standardized by both Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), simplifying UHDTV infrastructure upgrades and reducing risk for broadcasters.
