CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Semtech Corporation (NAS: SMTC) , a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, today announced six new 6G ultra-high definition-SDI (UHD-SDI) components.

Semtech's Gennum Product Group will be showcasing its latest 6G UHD-SDI solutions at the National Association of Broadcasters show in Las Vegas in booth #N2116, at their invitation-only VIP suite. Evertz is also at NAB in booth #N1503.
Semtech is announcing the GS6042 adaptive cable equalizer; the GS6080 and GS6081 cable drivers and the GS6050, GS6051 and GS6052 reclockers. With this comprehensive family of 6G UHD-SDI components, customers are in a position to design UHD-SDI capable products today. Semtech's customers at NAB will be launching a multitude of different products enabled by Semtech's 6G UHD-SDI technology.
"Semtech has a history of innovating in the video market. We are focused on providing solutions to address the challenges presented by UHDTV and 4k.
