“Semtech’s BlueRiver technology is the enabler of SDVoE-based AV
systems,” said Don Shaver, Vice President of Video Products for
Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “The SDVoE demonstrations at
InfoComm will directly showcase the advantages and capabilities of
BlueRiver technology over traditional matrix switching with a clear
message: It’s time to leave the matrix switch behind and to embrace
Ethernet as the future for Pro AV signal distribution. As the largest
annual Pro AV conference, InfoComm represents a perfect opportunity to
present BlueRiver technology and the growing SDVoE-based ecosystem to
the AV community.”

Visitors to the SDVoE Alliance booth will witness a demonstration
featuring a BlueRiver-enabled SDVoE AV system in a head-to-head
comparison with a traditional matrix switch-based design. The SDVoE
networking model will utilize a mix of transmitters and receivers from
ecosystem companies to highlight the SDVoE Alliance’s commitment to
interoperability.

“SDVoE 20/20,” a series of short educational presentations, will take
place at the booth from Wednesday, June 12 through Friday, June 14.
Guests will have the opportunity to choose from over 20 presentations
from members of the SDVoE ecosystem. Presentations will last around 20
minutes each and highlight various topics related to the benefits of
SDVoE-based solutions for the Pro AV industry at large.

About Semtech’s BlueRiver® Platform

Semtech’s BlueRiver®
platform
brings the disruptive power of Ethernet to AV signal
distribution, forever changing the dynamics of the Pro AV industry by
allowing installers and OEMs to replace proprietary AV matrix switches
with off-the-shelf Ethernet networks that deliver dramatically better
price/performance, flexibility and scalability. The BlueRiver platform
delivers a single programmable system on chip (SoC), which can be used
to replace traditional AV/KVM extenders, matrix switchers, video wall
controllers and windowing processors with a simple network of
transmitters, receivers and off-the-shelf Ethernet switches. BlueRiver
chipsets are the foundation of SDVoE technology offering zero-latency,
uncompressed 4K streaming over standard Ethernet with unique support for
HDMI 2.0a and HDR. They also integrate high-fidelity video scaling,
windowing and audio downmixing. For more information, visit www.semtech.com/products/professional-av/blueriver.
