MACOM Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Video Products

Optimizing the performance of equipment that supports SMPTE standards

MACOM SDI video products span a complete signal chain for an SDI link, including multi-rate

equalizer and cable driver solutions for emerging ultra high-definition (UHD) TV standards

and legacy 3G, HD and SD.

MACOM’s new 12G-SDI video solutions for 4K UHD broadcast video transport applications

enhance next-generation system designs by providing higher density, lower power, and lower

material cost for transporting high quality UHD images compared to lower speed solutions.

Typical applications include next-generation 4K/8K video production solutions, broadcast

video routing and production switchers, video distribution amplifiers, video cameras

and monitors.

All MACOM SDI products are fully compliant with the Society of Motion Picture

and Television Engineers (SMPTE) standards.
