“Semtech’s BlueRiver technology is tailored to build endpoints that meet
the performance, reliability and regulatory requirements in one of the
most demanding video markets,” said Don Shaver, Vice President of Video
Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “OR video
integration demands the highest quality and the lowest latency.
BlueRiver technology meets these performance requirements in addition to
providing the flexibility of Ethernet-based solutions to enable the
adaptation of workflows. With 15,000 units shipped for medical
applications, Semtech further demonstrates the innovative and disruptive
uses of BlueRiver in the market today. These units have already been
deployed in hundreds of the estimated 30,000+ ORs in the U.S. within the
first 18 months of shipments.”
The BlueRiver chipset provides the high quality and zero-latency AV
signal distribution required in the OR. Doctors, nurses and other OR
staff can monitor AV data from devices including surgical scopes, X-rays
and CT/MRI scanners for accurate analysis and diagnosis. Teams
collaborate over video to improve patient care and significantly reduce
the amount of time needed to provide treatment. By utilizing BlueRiver
technology to reduce inefficiency in AV distribution, medical teams can
quickly and effectively tend to more patients, improving a medical
facility’s return on investment.
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, video wall
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.
