A true game changing technology for AV signal distribution, the BlueRiver NT chipset is the world’s first and only chipset to enable the extension, switching and compositing of real-time, uncompressed Ultra-HD signals with zero-frame latency over off-the-shelf IP switches. Replacing custom AV matrix switches with standard IP switches cuts the cost and size of such equipment by 60% while eliminating the associated R&D cost, reducing time-to-market and lowering inventory risk. Using a high-bandwidth, synchronous, packet-based architecture for pixel transmission, the BlueRiver NT chipset is capable of: extending uncompressed Ultra-HD (4K) video, audio, GbE and other control signals over fiber or 100m Cat-x cabling; switching these signals through standard IP switches; and compositing multiple videos onto one or more displays. This FPGA-based chipset can easily be integrated into OEM designs for AV/KVM extension, switching, multi-view and video-wall applications. Ready-to-manufacture reference designs based on the chipset are available for qualified customers.
