MACOM and Amphenol Support Ross Video for Industry's First 12G SDI openGear Platform
Three-Way Collaboration Enables the Industry's First 12G SDI Modular Platform with a Passive Rear Interface
"This is a very big step for the broadcast video industry," said
Through the collaboration with Amphenol and MACOM, Ross Video can now offer customers a family of 12G-SDI distribution solutions for their openGear modular platform, featuring a rear interface panel with no active components. This gives customers the ability to remove and replace cards in the frame without needing to disconnect cables from the rear panel. Ross Video's openGear platform, which received a Technical Emmy at the 67th annual Technology & Engineering Emmy awards, was designed to provide the broadcast industry with an open and universal platform for signal processing cards.
Ross Video recognized that the challenge with a modular platform is maintaining the expectation that the all active components reside on the front removable card with no active components in the frame or on the rear connecting module nor is it acceptable to directly connect cables to the front module. By implementing the unique solution co-developed with MACOM and Amphenol, Ross Video was able to achieve maximum performance by keeping critical components as close as possible to the cable interface without passing through any intermediate connections.
"This challenge was insurmountable with currently available technology.
Ross Video is pleased to have great technology partners in MACOM and
Amphenol, who through an excellent working relationship are jointly able
to overcome these challenges and deliver cutting-edge 12G-SDI solutions
for delivery of 4K / UHD. The challenge of getting 12G-SDI into a
modular platform, without requiring active components on the rear of the
frame, has now be solved," said
"It has been an exciting opportunity to collaborate with the visionary
team from Ross Video and MACOM in developing an interconnect solution
that combines our latest technologies for the broadcast market, HD-BNC
and HD-AFI, to meet the challenges involved with single port 12G
transmission," said
MACOM's 2nd generation 12G SDI products will be available for
private demonstration at NAB 2016, Booth #N602,
Ross Video's openGear platform is available for demonstration at NAB 2016, booth N3705.
