UHD in a hybrid SDI/IP World

October 1, 2024 12:00 PM

The SDI interface is the only standardized means for interconnecting UHD devices today, and those who are looking to roll out UHD-1 need to have a much better understanding of the challenges and issues that may result in a hybrid environment.

Please join guest speaker, Semtech’s Nigel-Seth Smith, as he highlights some of those challenges; provides an update to the current technologies and discusses why SDI will continue to be an enabling technology for the roll out of UHD-1 (and UHD-2).

Nigel Seth-Smith joined Gennum, which has since been acquired by Semtech, in 2002 as part of a team responsible for Strategic New Product Definition and Business Development. He first digitized a video signal in 1977, and has been working with pictures, and the numbers which represent them, ever since. Prior to joining Gennum, Mr. Seth-Smith was in R&D design and engineering management at a number of organizations, including the UKIBA, where he designed and operated the equipment used to select the sampling rate for ITU-R 601; Scientific-Atlanta, where he headed up the team that developed B-MAC, the first component-based secure satellite video transmission system; DPS, where he developed the first M-JPEG based hard drive recorder; and Snell & Wilcox, where he managed R&D. He has been a member of the IET since 1982, the IEEE since 1995, and SMPTE since 2007. He has published a number of patents and papers, and has made presentations at IBC, NAB, Montreux, HD Masters, BVE, SMPTE and ICCE. He is currently active in standards work in SMPTE and ITU-R in the fields of UHDTV interfaces and network based genlock timing.
