BlueRiver ASIC Enables YUAN's E-sports Camera

Semtech’s BlueRiver® AVP Series Enables Video Camera for eSports and Other Demanding Markets

YUAN’s SDVoE™-based video camera delivers high quality video to multiple destinations

CAMARILLO, Calif., June 3, 2020 — Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced that YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd. (YUAN), a leading provider of high quality AV products for the digital home, broadcasting and surveillance markets, has integrated Semtech’s BlueRiver® technology into its new line of Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE™)-enabled video cameras. The products, built on the new BlueRiver AVP series ASIC, provide capture and transmission of high quality 4K60 4:4:4 SDVoE-compliant video with near zero latency to multiple destinations over standard Ethernet networks.

“Semtech’s BlueRiver AVP series small form factor and low power consumption enables a new category of end product,” said Wendy Lin, Director of U.S. Sales at YUAN. “Integrating the new ASIC allowed YUAN to create the new SDVoE-based video camera solutions that feature an attractively compact size and leverage BlueRiver’s advantages for ultra-low latency and 4K signal transmission.”

YUAN’s camera utilizes SDVoE-based AV networking to transmit high quality video over off-the-shelf Ethernet switches and cabling. This enables simplified product setup and simultaneous transmission of video signals to multiple destinations. End users are no longer confined to traditional point-to-point transmission. The BlueRiver-based camera is an extension to the comprehensive SDVoE product portfolio for applications, such as eSports, requiring high quality video and zero latency transmission.  

“YUAN’s advanced video camera is further evidence of the strong and continuous growth of the SDVoE ecosystem,” said Don Shaver, Vice President of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “The list of BlueRiver-enabled end products has expanded well beyond traditional categories to include 4K cameras, PC graphics cards, Ethernet switch modules, and wall plates, among others. These products address market needs and offer the advantages of interoperability with shared standards, low power and a flexibility in implementation desired by today’s leading integrators.”
