The AVX series includes two interoperable chipsets, the copper-only
AVX100 and the AVX200T, providing the industry’s first bidirectional
video transmission capability over a single fiber or copper cable and a
built-in processing engine for broadcast quality, scaling and video wall
processing.
“The traditional AV extension and matrix switching market has been
limited to a single-sourced choice of technology for far too long,” says
Don Shaver, Vice President of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal
Integrity Group. “Semtech’s AVX series not only provides a compelling
alternative to competing technologies, but also delivers unique new
advantages such as true transceiver capability and integrated AV
processing.”
AVX series features include:
-
Extension of audio, video, GbE and control signals between AV
equipment (e.g. sources, display, AV matrix switches) -
Full range of formats including 4K/60 RGB 4:4:4, HDR, 3D & broadcast
friendly 4K/60 10-bit 4:2:2 - HDMI audio embedding, de-embedding and breakaway
- Integrated USB, RS-232, IR, GPIO and CEC
-
Broadcast quality scaling, color space conversion and frame rate
conversion* - Video wall processing with bezel correction*
- Audio down-mixing engine from multi-channel PCM audio to stereo*
-
Up to 200m range over cat-x with PoE using compatible phy and cable
type -
Up to 550m range over multimode fiber and 40+ km range over single
mode fiber* - Less than 0.1 milliseconds latency at maximum cable reach
- Transceiver capability for bidirectional video on a single cable*
* AVX200T version
The AVX chipsets will be integrated into products such as AV
transmitters, AV receivers, AV matrix switchers, presentation switchers,
video wall controllers, and other AV equipment to address a variety of
market applications including AV/KVM extension, AV/KVM matrix switching
and video wall processing. Unlike incumbent technologies, each AVX
chipsets is configurable as a transmitter or receiver (AVX100), or as a
transmitter and receiver (AVX200T), greatly simplifying procurement and
supply chain management.
Semtech will be providing detailed specifications, pricing and
availability information at InfoComm
2019, the largest professional audiovisual event in North America,
June 8 – 14 in Orlando, Florida. To request a meeting, contact a
regional sales manager.
