General Description
The RDK-12GCONV UHD Converter Reference Design demonstrates the use of
Semtech's GS12241 12G UHD-SDI Re-timing Adaptive Equalizer, GS12090 Bidirectional
12G UHD-SDI Cable Equalizer/Driver, GS12281 12G UHD-SDI Re-timing Cable Driver,
and GS12070 UHD-SDI Gearbox to enable conversion from single channel 12Gb/s SDI,
quad channel 3Gb/s SDI and other multiplexing or demultiplexing modes while
minimizing the port count in designs.
This reference design not only allows your evaluation of Semtech products; the source
files for the schematic, PCB layout, micro-controller and GUI can be provided by
contacting your local FAE to accelerate your time to market.
