Video SerDes Tech Boosts Resolution Over a Longer, Single Wire (Download)
The uncompressed transmission of video data, control signals and power is heating up—and it’s not just with the promise of warmer weather. A wide range of applications, from endoscopy, a non-surgical procedure used to examine a person’s digestive tract, to factory automation, require that high-bandwidth data be transferred over several meters worth of cable.
That presents a challenge, not just because of the signal loss introduced with such a transmission channel, but also due to the introduction of electromagnetic-interference (EMI) or electromagnetic-compatibility (EMC) considerations common to medical or industrial applications. Such external noise sources could interfere with the cable as data passes to its destination.
