Semtech AVX200T
The AVX extender ASIC series pushes the envelope on multimedia connectivity between AV equipment and remote displays by simultaneously transmitting uncompressed quality Ultra HD (4K) video, multi-channel audio, Gigabit Ethernet, 480Mb/s USB2.0 and other control signals on a single category cable or optical fiber.
The AVX200T fully featured AV extender includes the AVX Processor for in-line pixel processing with simultaneous video transmit and receive functionality.
- Less than 0.1 milliseconds latency at maximum cable reach
- Integrated broadcast quality scaling and image spitting
- Support for bidirectional video
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible
The new AVX extender chipset series also includes the AVX100, which is fully interoperable with the AVX200T. Products using these chipsets can be integrated into AV transmitters, AV receivers, AV matrix switches, presentation switchers and other AV equipment to address a variety of market applications, and are an ideal replacement for HDBaseT.
