SDI Transmitters (Serializers): 3G, HD, SD, and DVB-ASI
Semtech's transmitter (SerDes) offering integrates all the high-speed, mixed signal components (Serializer, VCO, Cable Driver, Reclocker) and SMPTE digital video and audio processing required to transmit SDI Video. Grouping all of these components into one package reduces the PCB footprint required to implement SDI transmit/receive and the solution benefits from our superior jitter performance. This optimized, cost-effective and power efficient ASIC implementation lets you focus on your value-added processing for quicker time-to-market.
Our SDI transmitters have the most complete video processing features available. These include integrated SMPTE video processing including scrambling, TRS detection, insertion, and ancillary data insertion. Semtech SDI transmitters can reject up to 300ps of jitter on the parallel clock, outputting very low jitter, SMPTE-compliant SDI signals. All SDI transmitters are DVB-ASI capable.

I designed my first product using the Serial Digital Interface (SDI) back in 1996, and little did I know that this fledgling coax-based video interface standard would dominate my career for the next 20+ years. Back then, SDI was limited to carrying Standard Definition (SD) digital video at 270 Megabits per second (Mbps), but would evolve to higher and higher data rates to carry High Definition 720p, 1080i and 1080p, and most recently 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) video, at cable lengths that were not thought possible. The convenience of a low cost single conductor coaxial copper cable, capable of carrying 4K video up to 100m has meant that SDI has become the de facto AV connectivity of choice in markets such as broadcast, Pro AV, medical and surveillance.
