Lightware Visual Engineering is joining forces with Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a global supplier of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, by integrating Lightware’s new TPX extender devices with Semtech’s AVXT™ technology to streamline A/V network configuration and enhance collaboration in classrooms, auditoriums and meeting spaces.
Lightware TPX extenders allow forHDMI2.0 signal managementovera single CATx cable with HDCP2.3 andDolby Visionsupport, and also provide compatibility with Software Defined VideooverEthernet (SDVoE™) endpoints connected point-to-point.
“Seamless user experiences are critical for creating effective meetings and classroom sessions,” said Gergely Vida,founderof Lightware. “Participants need to focus oncontentand engagement, not the A/Vtechnologybehind the scenes. We designed our new TPX devices as a newlineof extenders that were both easy to use and cost efficient to take A/V extension to the next level. Integrating Semtech’s AVXT extensiontechnologyintoour TPX devices achieves this goal as AVXT extends multiple signal typesovera single cable.”
The next-generation TPX extenders are the first AVXT-based devices from Lightware that extend signals easily for plug-and-play functionality. Additionally, the devices extend signalsovera single CATx cable (up to 100 meters), allow fan-less, passive cooling andincludeExtended Display IdentificationData(EDID) management. By leveraging Semtech's AVXTtechnology, the extenders are also able tooutputaudio on the transmitter side to send it directly to audio systems and also support bidirectional remote powering.
“Lightware’s use of Semtech’s AVXT technology showcases the ongoing popularity of AVXT to replace existing AV extension technologies,” said Don Shaver, vice president of marketing of video products for Semtech's Signal Integrity Products Group. “With unprecedented levels of reach performance and robustness, AVXT is leading the new generation of AV extension products and solutions.”
