Cypress Introduces New Video Equalizers With The Industry's Lowest Power Consumption And Best Jitter Performance.SMPTE- and DVB-ASI-Compliant Devices Deliver Reliable Signal Transmissions For Broadcast Equipment with Lower Bit-Rate or Shorter Cable Requirements SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : CY), a world leader in video physical layer devices (PHYs), today added two new multirate video cable equalizers to its diverse portfolio of solutions for the professional video equipment market. The new HD/SD/DVB-ASI (High-Definition/Standard-Definition/Digital Video Broadcasting - Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. Serial Interface) video equalizers are targeted for applications with shorter cable lengths, while the new SD/DVB-ASI video equalizers address broadcasting equipment requiring only SD-SDI (serial digital interface This article is about the serial digital interface used in professional video. For serial interfaces in general, see serial port. The Serial Digital Interface (SDI), standardized in ITU-R BT.656 and SMPTE 259M, is a digital video interface used for broadcast-grade video. ) or DVB-ASI DVB-ASI Digital Video Broadcasting - Asynchronous Serial Interface bit-rates. The new devices offer an easy-to-implement, complete port solution in professional video equipment designs such as PC video capture cards, video switchers, video routers, logo generators, satellite decoders, and DVB-ASI encoder/decoders. Both equalizers deliver industry-leading jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle performance and have 160 mW typical power consumption with a 3.3V power supply, offering a power savings of up to 30 percent over competing solutions. The SD/DVB-ASI video equalizers removes inter-symbol interference from video signals traveling over a cable, and use adaptive equalization to support different cable lengths up to an industry-best 350 meters. The HD/SD/DVB-ASI video equalizers also use adaptive equalization to drive equalized SD signals up to 350 meters on coaxial cable, and HD signals up to 140 meters. "These new equalizers join our existing high-performance equalizers to further our strategy of providing the industry's broadest portfolio of professional video solutions," said James Lie, product marketing manager for Video and Interconnect Devices at Cypress. "These new equalizers are targeted at lower-end systems, but deliver the same reliable transmissions customers expect from Cypress." Cypress's SD/DVB-ASI equalizers are compliant with SMPTE 259M and DVB-ASI data rates, while the HD/SD/DVB-ASI equalizers are compliant with SMPTE 292M, 344M, and 259M, as well as DVB-ASI. The superior eye diagram characteristics of the equalizers allow for more forgiving board design, such as longer trace lengths and other less-than-optimal board conditions. The devices are pin-compatible with existing solutions, giving an easy migration path without board redesigns. Cypress will demonstrate its complete video interface solution, including the HOTLink-On-Demand[TM] family of video SERDES See serializer/deserializer. , multi-format equalizers, and cable drivers, in booth 11.103 at the International Broadcasters Conference (IBC IBC International Building Code IBC Iraq Body Count IBC Institutional Biosafety Committee IBC Inflammatory Breast Cancer IBC International Business Company IBC Independence Blue Cross IBC Insurance Bureau of Canada IBC International Broadcasting Convention ) 2007 to be held at the RAI Convention Centre, Amsterdam, Netherlands from September 6 through September 10, 2007.
