This year L2tek celebrates it’s 30th year working with and supporting Semtech Gennum components, the foremost innovator of SDI semiconductor solutions. From SD, through HD and 3G to 12G 4K UHD, we have provided application support for many customer designs. We are still actively supporting 12G designs, but as speeds increase and technology moves on, we have also added new technologies to our transport and interface technologies.

Semtech SDI Interface and Bridge Components
At IBC we will again be showing working evaluation boards featuring the Semtech SDI Gearbox GS12070 and SDI-HDMI Bridge chip GS12170, which demonstrate a full working bridge system with input cable equalisers and output drivers.

Semtech SDVoE
For the highest image quality, zero latency transmission of 4K HDMI 2.1 video, either point-to point or over a standard Ethernet network, SDVoE from Semtech can’t be matched. This year we will be using the simple extender reference design to power our main HDMI display. The device can be used with any standard 10G single-mode, multi-mode or CWDM SFP enabling high density 4K transmission over a single fibre.

Lontium Semiconductor
For interfacing between cameras and processors, driving displays and splitting and distributing HDMI or DP at 4/8K, Lontium Semiconductor have our widest portfolio of parts. Customers are very well supported with fully working reference designs with evaluation boards, layout and schematics. Firmware is provides to exactly match your required specification.

Macro Image Technology
L2tek are pleased to be working in alliance with BHV Broadcast to provide expert design services for advanced video systems. In particular we rely on BHV to support designs for the MIT series of image processing devices, featuring 4 independent channel processing of 4K HDMI signals, with a comprehensive set of image transformations in a highly integrated single chip solution.
