Chris Shelly, Samtec’s RF/SI Modeling Engineer, walks us through another 12G SDI product demonstration from NAB 2017. This demonstration showcases the Samtec BNC Edge Mount connector used in the Fidus® Gearbox+™ and the Phabrix® QX UHDTV 12G SDI generator/analyzer. This demonstration not only showcases the signal processing capabilities of both of these products, it also…
Data. Data. Data. The world is full of data. As humans breathe, use smartphones, or have a meal, a digital trail of data is left behind. That data trail is highly lucrative for companies ranging from retail and high-tech to online advertising and social media. Why all the fuss on Big Data? One source calls Big Data…
Chris Shelly, Samtec’s RF/SI Modeling Engineer, walks us through one of two 12G SDI live demonstrations at NAB 2017. This product demonstration showcases live Return Loss testing of different connectors series per the SMPTE ST-2082-1 12G SDI single channel 4K /UHD requirements. The demonstration highlights the custom launch design that successfully allow even the more challenging…
The ever-present demand for higher data throughput spans industries and applications. Regardless of industry, engineers continue to address SI performance demands all along the signal path: in PCBs, connectors and cables. Engineers realize that routing signals through lossy PCBs, vias and other components has become one of the most complex challenges designers face. Samtec’s “Flyover”…
The North American Broadcast Show, or NAB, is April 22-27 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. NAB is about everything digital in the fields of media, entertainment, and technology. Samtec is exhibiting its line of 12G SDI RF interconnects, including a product demonstration showing live return loss testing of different 12G SDI products, as well…
Shielded Connectors For EMI, EMC Protection Samtec is expanding its line of rugged, high-speed 0.80 mm pitch Edge Rate® interconnects. First is a mating set with both socket (ERF8 Series) and terminal (ERM8 Series) strips that are fully shielded. The shield encircles the entire mated connector system (a full 360ᵒ) to minimize the effects of EMI and…
Consumers just want more HD video everywhere they go. The migration from 4G to 5G enables live streaming video consumption everywhere the wireless network reaches. Faster bandwidths via cable or fiber to the home provide the pipe to support the 4K/UHDTV products that are common online and in the local electronics store. HD studio cameras…
Kevin Burt, of the Samtec Optical Group, explains another one of the several demos that Samtec presented at OFC 2017. In this demo, four GT 28 Gbps transceiver signals are generated by an FPGA and launched mid-board from a FireFly™ 28 G x4 optical connector system. These 28 Gbps signals then “flyover” the board through a FQSFP…
Our friend Eric Bogatin wrote a paper for DesignCon 2017 entitled “New Characterization Technique for Glass-Weave Skew.” He wrote a summary article of the paper in Signal Integrity Journal. Since many of our readers strive to optimize their signal transmission path, I thought it would be worthwhile to pass this on. In Eric’s own words,…
Kevin Burt of the Samtec Optical Group walks us through one of Samtec’s product demonstrations at OFC 2017. This demo features a disaggregated computing platform with PCIe® Gen 3 fabric enabled by the patented FireFly™ mid-board optical technology. This PCIe protocol is extended outside of a standard computer bus over a distance of 100 meters. Kevin also gives…
