Broadcast Video

Broadcast Video Solutions

Today’s media landscape is highly dynamic, with the content created, broadcasted and consumed over traditional and emerging channels. Broadcast and content creation equipment must balance the need to accommodate legacy workflows, while enabling creation and support of new workflows and revenue streams. Microsemi’s portfolio addresses applications spanning the video broadcast architecture including TV transmitters, pro video broadcast production platforms, video cameras and video recorders, and video transport over OTN, SONET/SDH and Ethernet. Our solutions are engineered to simplify your broadcast capture and workflow equipment designs, advancing your customers’ operational efficiencies and business agility.

Microsemi's industry-leading advantages for broadcast video include:

Component clocks with 50% lower power, smallest form factor, highest accuracy over temperature and best-in-class holdover, ideal for master sync generator and TV transmitter exciter subsystems
Ultra low jitter, small footprint IEEE 1588 PLLs, clock synthesis and buffers with SMPTE 2059 profile in software for easier, high reliability clock tree designs in video switches, frame synchronization and video cameras
PCIe switches for DVR/NVR storage and CPU connectivity delivering up to 60% lower power and 75% fewer chips with 2x port density, along with exclusive error containment (DPC, eDPC, CTS) diagnostics and debug
Reliable, low-power and non-volatile Flash-based FPGAs/SoCs with instant-on capabilities, ideal for secure boot DVR/NVR system management
Ethernet switches and Ethernet PHYs with ns-accurate IEEE 1588 timing and configurations up to 48xGE + 4x10GE, ideal for video recorders, Ethernet switch core and physical media (fiber/copper) interfaces
SAS/SATA RAID, Host Bus Adapters and Expanders delivering 30% lower power than competitive options and a single software interface for both RAID and HBA, ideal for video recorders
Crosspoint switches for routing SDI, DisplayPort and HDMI media signals in configurations up to 40x40 channels
OTN processors with integrated video client switching for video transport, supporting up to 20G of video client mapping into both SONET/SDH and OTN, and FE/GE and 10GE including IEEE 1588v2 and SyncE timing distribution. Multiple interface support including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, Dual Link HD-SDI, DVB-ASI and DV6000.
