Serial digital interface (SDI) ICs – Applications
Broadcast and professional video
Broadcast video router
Our low-power equalizers enable video routers to achieve 200m of cable reach at 3G. The reclockers and cable drivers with high jitter tolerance enable clean video output from the routers.
As industry transitions from 3G to UHD, our 12G products provide single chip solution for video transport through either existing coax-based video router or IP based routers.

Prosumer video
Prosumer video capture card & format converter
Our configurable I/O with integrated return loss provides high return loss margin and optimum signal quality for all the video signals from SD to 3G. The bidirectional function of the configurable I/O with integrated return loss addresses the form factor concern in video capture or format converter cards. A video and audio clock generator with multiple video and audio clock rates enables high performance operation from SD to UHD data rates using a single chip solution.

Commercial video
Security & surveillance
Security and surveillance applications usually require clean video data transmission over lossy cables while maintaining safe operation at high ESD. Our equalizers and reclockers recover the original video content coming from security cameras over lossy cables. The crosspoint switch provides flexibility of switching incoming video inputs to different monitors or DVR ports.
