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 (News - Alert). 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 enabls 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.
