“Semtech’s BlueRiver technology offers a unique set of advantages for low latency AV distribution over standard Ethernet,” said Wendy Lin, Director of U.S. Sales at YUAN. “YUAN has integrated the comprehensive BlueRiver chipset and software API to create new products that, for the first time, can flexibly utilize SDVoE to capture and convert 4K signal content for any use case.”

YUAN’s new Multi to IP Pro 4K Converter utilizes embedded BlueRiver chipsets and Semtech 12G SDI components to convert multiple video formats. The Multi to IP Pro 4K Converter is one of the first of its kind to convert to SDVoE, and supports video formats up to 4K at 60Hz with the capacity to transport and process uncompressed, low-latency, AV over convenient 10G Ethernet. The converter features display port multi-stream transport support, DVI dual link support, multi-standard support (12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI), auto source-format detection, USB interface, and RJ45 output for SDVoE. YUAN’s video capture card, SC710N1-L-SDVoE, relies on BlueRiver technology to manage video input and output, and is among the first of its kind to capture 4K60 video data by way of direct SDVoE input. Both new products are compatible and interoperable with other Pro AV products in the SDVoE-based ecosystem.

“The introduction of both a 12G SDI to SDVoE capable converter and an SDVoE capture card are important additions to the ecosystem,” said Don Shaver, Vice President of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “Building a product on BlueRiver technology offers the advantages that come with interoperable technology and shared standards. YUAN’s new products for AV capture and conversion will help facilitate the broader adoption of SDVoE throughout the Pro AV market.”

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.
