Description

Broadcast infrastructure encompasses many different systems. Each serves a specific function within the video broadcast and production studio environment, including Distribution Amplifier, Up/Down/Cross Conversion, Data Encoder/Decoder, Frame Synchronization, Master Synchronization Generator, etc. As industry transitions from HD to UHD (4K/8K Video), it is important to maintain signal integrity for video transporting through either existing coax or IP-based connections. To enable broadcast infrastructure manufacturers to innovate to new levels, TI able to provide the following:

Most comprehensive multi-rate portfolio of serial digital interface (SDI) solutions for 12G UHD, 6G, 3G, HD and SD with best in class performance in signal integrity, power and cable reach
Design flexibility: Configurable as SDI equalizer or cable driver with Eye monitor providing system debug option
TI Designs and 3rd party solutions to showcase system level designs
Multi-core DSP + ARM processor platforms save R&D investment featured with programmable functions for video conversion, video/audio transcoding, and image corrections
