When: September 12-16, 2008
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Semiconductor Corp. (NYSE: NSM ) will showcase its latest industry-leading video products for theprofessional and broadcast markets at the InternationalBroadcasting Convention (IBC), September 12-16, at the RAI Centerin Amsterdam. The company will conduct live demonstrations of itshigh-performance, low-power video solutions, including ademonstration of the industry's first triple-rate serial digitalinterface (SDI) dual-channel SerDes transceiver in a real-worldbroadcast studio environment, a demonstration to showcaseNational's superior signal integrity in video routers, a completevideo timing reference design for triple-rate (3G/HD/SD) SDIapplications using FPGAs, and high-definition (HD) 1080i routingand transmission over CAT5 cable.
National Broadcast Video Demonstrations -- Booth # F79
-- SDI Dual-Channel SerDes Transceiver: Demonstration of theindustry's first triple-rate SDI dual channel SerDes transceiver,together with low-cost Xilinx and Altera FPGAs. The demonstrationshowcases the industry-leading jitter performance of National'sexpanding SDI SerDes family by integrating several differentplatforms to replicate a real-world broadcast studio environment.
-- 3G-SDI 32 Error-Free Loops: Demonstration mimicking a videorouter showcasing the cleanest triple-rate SDI signal integrity bylooping error-free through 32 channels of 3G-SDI equalizers,reclockers and cable drivers using a stressful matrix pathologicalsignal with 0.5 units interval (UI) of injected jitter. A single 27MHz reference crystal is shared among 32 reclockers. Thisdemonstration features National's LMH0344 SDI adaptive equalizer,LMH0356 SDI reclocker and LMH0303 SDI driver with cable detection.
-- Video Clock Reference Design Module: Demonstration of National'snew video clock reference design module enhancing the jitterperformance of Xilinx Virtex-5 LXT FPGAs (to meet stringent SMPTEspecifications) in a complete video timing reference design fortriple-rate (3G/HD/SD) SDI applications. This demonstrationfeatures Nationals LMH1982 multi-rate video clock generator withgenlock and the LMH1981 sync separator.
-- HD 1080i Routing and Transmission over CAT5: Demonstration ofanalog HD 1080i routing and transmission over low-cost CAT5 cable.This demonstration features National's LMH6581 8 x 4 videocrosspoint and PowerWise (R) LMH6733 1 GHz triple video op amps, which are configured todrive and receive component video over various CAT5 cable lengths.
