BlueRiver transforms AV system design with Software Defined Video
Over Ethernet infrastructure

CAMARILLO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Semtech
Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance
analog and mixed signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, will be
displaying its Software Defined Video Over Ethernet (SDVoE™)
compatible solutions at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam from Feb.
5-8, 2019. Demonstrations of Semtech’s BlueRiver technology for SDVoE
will be featured at the SDVoE Alliance™ stand at 3-B150 and showcased in
over a dozen member booths at the show.

Software Defined Video Over Ethernet network architectures are based on
off-the-shelf Ethernet switches providing substantial cost savings,
greater system flexibility and enhanced scalability over traditional
circuit-based AV matrix switching solution. Semtech’s BlueRiver platform
is at the heart of SDVoE-based technology powering over 150
interoperable products, many of which will be on display at ISE. To
date, SDVoE-based products have been deployed across a wide range of
profession audio/visual (Pro AV) vertical markets, including corporate,
industrial, medical, residential, education, signage, hospitality, and
entertainment.

Semtech’s BlueRiver solutions are one of the industry’s first chipsets
that are able to transport uncompressed, zero-latency Ultra HD/4K HDR
over standard Ethernet. The BlueRiver platform consists of NT1000 and
NT2000 AV-over-IP chipsets and a comprehensive software Application
Programming Interface (API).

“We look forward to demonstrating how manufacturers of AV distribution
and processing equipment needing zero-latency, uncompromised video would
benefit from SDVoE,” said Kamran Ahmed, General Manager of BlueRiver
products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “Our
interoperable BlueRiver technology provides OEMs with an end-to-end
hardware and software platform for AV extension, switching, processing,
and control.”

The SDVoE
Alliance is a non-profit ecosystem of more than 40-member technology
providers. The organization collaborates to standardize the adoption of
Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments. The
SDVoE Alliance will be sponsoring a variety of in-depth educational
sessions at ISE. A full description of topics and registration is
available at https://sdvoe.org/events/ise-2019-training-schedule.

About Semtech’s BlueRiver™ Platform

Semtech’s BlueRiver™
platform brings the disruptive power of Ethernet to AV signal
distribution, forever changing the dynamics of the Pro AV industry by
allowing installers and OEMs to replace proprietary AV matrix switches
with off-the-shelf Ethernet networks that deliver dramatically better
price/performance, flexibility and scalability. The BlueRiver platform
delivers a single programmable system on chip (SoC), which can be used
to replace traditional AV/KVM extenders, matrix switchers, videowall
controllers and windowing processors with a simple network of
transmitters, receivers and off-the-shelf Ethernet switches. BlueRiver
chipsets are the foundation of SDVoE technology, offering zero-latency,
uncompressed 4K streaming over standard Ethernet with unique support for
HDMI 2.0a and HDR. They also integrate high-fidelity video scaling,
windowing and audio downmixing. For more information, visit www.semtech.com/products/professional-av/blueriver.
