Semtech Corporation 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. 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. Next generation broadcast facilities, with their mix of SDI coaxial, optical and IP interfaces, require seamless media conversion. Semtech's UHD-SDI products feature ultra-low power consumption and provide 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. Key Features of the GS3140 and GS6151: GS3140 SDI Cable Equalizer: Industry's lowest power SDI cable equalizer.

Ultra-long cable reach for SD, HD and 3G data rates, enabling high performance customer designs with no performance compromises. Key Features of the UMC-E00E-4-SFP: Seamless media conversion from any input to any outpu. Supports 2 SFP cages supporting any Non-MSA video SFP from Nevion.

4 optical inputs and 4 optical outputs. 4 SDI 3G SDI inputs and 8 3G SDI outputs. Electrical to optical GbE conversion.
