Leading technology components for SDI Video and Optical markets from MACOM

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 as well as 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.

MACOM also supports a large portfolio of components for optical communications from long haul core networks to FTTx access networks. The portfolio addresses the high performance analog interfaces between electrical and optical domains, and provides solutions to meet the demanding size, power and signal integrity requirements of today’s high speed networks—which are expanding to meet the continuously growing demand for data capacity. These products include high performance modulator drivers, transimpedance amplifiers, and clock/data recovery circuits for enterprise and telecom optical systems operating up to 100 Gbps and beyond. For FTTx, MACOM has the broadest portfolio of laser drivers, limiting amplifiers, and TIAs covering systems from GPON, EPON to XG-PON.
