Three-Way Collaboration Enables the Industry’s
First 12G SDI Modular Platform with a Passive Rear Interface
MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of
semiconductor solutions for broadcast video infrastructure, today
announced a collaboration with Amphenol on Ross Video’s modular
openGear platform supporting the 12G Serial Digital Interface
(SDI). By utilizing MACOM’s 12G SDI chipset and Amphenol’s latest
12G connectors, this three-way collaboration enables the next
generation signal processing platform to support fully SMPTE
compliant single link interfaces for 4K video support.
“This is a very big step for the broadcast video industry,” said
Gary Shah, Vice President of Marketing, High-Performance Analog,
MACOM. “The openGear platform was prolific with a 3G-SDI interface,
and we are pleased to work with partners like Ross Video and
Amphenol to deliver the first 12G SDI platform.”
Through the collaboration with Amphenol and MACOM, Ross Video
can now offer customers a family of 12G-SDI distribution solutions
for their openGear modular platform, featuring a rear interface
panel with no active components. This gives customers the ability
to remove and replace cards in the frame without needing to
disconnect cables from the rear panel. Ross Video’s openGear
platform, which received a Technical Emmy at the 67th annual
Technology & Engineering Emmy awards, was designed to provide
the broadcast industry with an open and universal platform for
signal processing cards.
Ross Video recognized that the challenge with a modular platform
is maintaining the expectation that the all active components
reside on the front removable card with no active components in the
frame or on the rear connecting module nor is it acceptable to
directly connect cables to the front module. By implementing the
unique solution co-developed with MACOM and Amphenol, Ross Video
was able to achieve maximum performance by keeping critical
components as close as possible to the cable interface without
passing through any intermediate connections.
“This challenge was insurmountable with currently available
technology. Ross Video is pleased to have great technology partners
in MACOM and Amphenol, who through an excellent working
relationship are jointly able to overcome these challenges and
deliver cutting-edge 12G-SDI solutions for delivery of 4K / UHD.
The challenge of getting 12G-SDI into a modular platform, without
requiring active components on the rear of the frame, has now be
solved,” said Eric Goodmurphy, Director of Infrastructure at Ross
Video.
“It has been an exciting opportunity to collaborate with the
visionary team from Ross Video and MACOM in developing an
interconnect solution that combines our latest technologies for the
broadcast market, HD-BNC and HD-AFI, to meet the challenges
involved with single port 12G transmission,” said Hardik Parikh,
National Program Manager at Amphenol RF.
MACOM’s 2nd generation 12G SDI products will be available for
private demonstration at NAB 2016, Booth #N602, April 18-21st in
the Las Vegas Convention Center. To make an appointment, contact
your local sales representative. For more information on MACOM’s
