Streaming HD video and 4K/8K UHDTV are just two examples of a continuing evolution in video signaling. Video has transformed from being an analog 6 MHz bandwidth signal to a 12 Gbps digital data stream.
As signaling has transitioned into the digital domain, first in SD and HD formats, and recently at 6 Gbps and 12 Gbps 4K UHD-SDI standards, the demand for meeting stringent return loss requirements up to 12 GHz has emerged.
Samtec offers a full line of high-speed board-to-board and RF interconnect solutions along with unmatched signal integrity expertise targeted at broadcast video solutions. We offer support for the highest level of video performance and system integration at the lowest power levels possible.
