"Semtech’s BlueRiver technology is paving the way for the future of AV signal distribution over IP,” said Ryohei Iwasaki, CEO at IDK America. "The comprehensive BlueRiver chipset, software API, and Semtech’s 3Gb/s SDI adaptive cable equalizer have provided us with the necessary tools for including SDI inputs within a high-performance, fiber-based switch and extended Pro AV system.”

IDK’s NJR-T01SDI is designed to transport SDI input signals for local and long-haul extension and switched systems via AV-over-IP on fiber optic cables. The solution converts SDI input signals to HDMI and enables SDI signal management within the SDVoE-compatible IP-NINJAR system domain. NJR-T01SDI features zero frame latency for formats up to 1080p and a local monitor output, allowing video recording and previewing using an HDMI monitor.

"The new IDK AV-over-IP encoder is a welcome addition to a growing ecosystem of interoperable SDVoE products that are transforming matrix switching,” said Don Shaver, Senior Director of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. "IDK’s advanced solutions portfolio and exceptional service support are expanding the reach of Semtech’s BlueRiver technology within the Pro AV industry.”
