MACOM's 12G-SDI Chipset Adopted by Canare to Support the Transmission of 4K Video over a Single Link at 12Gbps


LOWELL, Mass. --(Business Wire)--

M/A-COM Technology Solutions (News - Alert) Inc. (MACOM), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for broadcast video infrastructure, announced today that its award-winning 12G-SDI Chipset supports transmission of 4k60p video utilizing a single 12Gbps link over 80 meters of L-4.5CHD coaxial cable. In collaboration with Canare Electric Co, Ltd., the combined solution allows transmission over long distances required in next-generation 4K editing, routing and transport applications.

"As SDI data rates evolve to 12Gbps to support Ultra-high-definition video (UHDTV), the technical challenges of maximizing link length have greatly increased. The ability to support these extended distances will provide the end user with greater infrastructure coverage and flexibility," said Hasnain Bajwa, Senior Vice President and General Manager, High Performance Analog, MACOM. "Collaborating with partners such as Canare helps to accelerate the growth of the 12G-SDI broadcast video ecosystem."

"Canare is pleased to demonstrate 12G SDI transmission using our SDI coax cable. The evolution to 12G SDI in professional applications is a natural next step for the industry, and supporting this trend using our SDI cable, provides a smooth migration path for our customers," said Junichiro Ohno, Managing Director and Managing Corporate Officer for the Corporate Planning and Overseas Sales Department at Canare.

Available today, MACOM's 12G-SDI products address advanced video transport applications for manufacturers of next-generation 4K/8K video production solutions, including broadcast video routing and production switchers, video distribution amplifiers, video cameras and monitors. MACOM will be hosting a 12G-SDI technology roadshow in Tokyo, Japan from November 19-21, 2014 at the APA Hotel and Resort, Tokyo Bay Makuhari.

Earlier this month, MACOM was honored by the Hollywood PostAlliance with an Engineering Excellence Award for its 12G-SDI chipset. MACOM's portfolio for Ultra-HD 4K video transport applications includes its award-winning 12G-SDI cable drivers, adaptive cable equalizers, reclockers and crosspoint switches.
