Embrionix Simplifies 4K Video Interface at IBC 2013

Online, September 4, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Embrionix, manufacturer of the emSFP is proud to announced the creation of 2 new product lines (4K SFP) to support the 4K (6Gbs UHD-SDI) interface. The new line of modules will enable the use of OEM designs utilizing SFP cages, to reach higher bandwidth more efficiently and achieve the best interoperability for the new 4K.

"4K (UHD-SDI) transport is most commonly done by combining multiple HD or 3G signals, for example
4 x 3G-SDI. Embrionix proposes a new approach based on our emSFP dual link 6G-SDI modules and
keep the compatibility with all the older standards without any redesign. This will minimize the number
of cables, and double bandwidth capacity per wavelength", said Sarkis Abrahamian, VP business
development at Embrionix.

"The higher bandwidth required to transport 4K, and soon 8K, push the total bit rates to 11.88Gbps and
23.76Gbps respectively. Coaxial connectivity will limit performance and distance at these data rates,
meaning a clear path for full fiber connectivity" Sarkis added.

With the steady increase of bandwidth requirements in production, media, and telecom industries, fiber
will continue to be the transport medium of choice for higher data rate signals and services. Based on
customer and industry requirements, emSFP modules can be simply switched for a different interface
or application.

The EB59xx 6Gbs coaxial series includes transceiver, dual receiver, and dual transmitter configurations.
The EB85xx 6Gbs optical series includes transceiver, dual receiver and dual transmitter configurations.

Embrionix will be used in more than 30 booths at IBC this year, demonstrating the flexibility and
possibilities around our SFP modules and the 2 new lines will be shown in booth 10.F30. Please visit our website at www.embrionix.com to download the 4K SFP datasheets, and other important SFP information.
