At the Core of Future AV Signal Distribution

IPAV Pro Series for true AV-IT convergence via simple plug and play

“Semtech’s BlueRiver SDVoE platform is at the core of future AV signal distribution,” said Robin Cullen, Technical Director at PureLink. “The comprehensive BlueRiver chipset and software API helped us build a high performance video system for demanding professional applications. Our Pro Series makes true AV-IT convergence a reality by providing a plug and play solution for the growing number of AV professionals dissatisfied with IT-based solutions.”

IPAV Pro Series for Rental & Staging

The IPAV Pro series is equipped to handle all conceivable AV applications as an extender, switcher, splitter, matrix or video wall controller. By combining IP-based input and output points (Tx / Rx), the solution is able to mimic functionality of traditional AV distribution products with a level of flexibility previously unavailable.

Semtech’s BlueRiver platform enables switching and extension of audio, video and control signals over standard Ethernet networks. Purelink’s new IPAV Pro Series combines the revolutionary 10GbE IP switching technology with a rugged and resilient aluminum chassis, designed specifically for the rental and staging industry.

“PureLink’s IPAV transmitter and receiver join a growing ecosystem of interoperable SDVoE products,” said Kamran Ahmed, General Manager of BlueRiver products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “PureLink’s leadership in the Pro AV industry will expand the reach of Semtech’s BlueRiver-based solutions and enable use in key applications such as event staging.”

The rugged product series has been extended by the world's first rugged 10G Network Switch.

About the BlueRiver™ Platform
Semtech’s BlueRiver™ platform  brings the disruptive power of Ethernet to AV signal distribution, forever changing the dynamics of the Pro AV industry by allowing installers and OEMs to replace proprietary AV matrix switches with off-the-shelf Ethernet networks that deliver dramatically better price/performance, flexibility and scalability. The BlueRiver platform delivers a single programmable system on chip (SoC), which can be used to replace traditional AV/KVM extenders, matrix switchers, video wall controllers and windowing processors with a simple network of transmitters, receivers and off-the-shelf Ethernet switches. BlueRiver chipsets are the foundation of SDVoE technology offering zero-latency, uncompressed 4K streaming over standard Ethernet with unique support for HDMI 2.0a and HDR. They also integrate high-fidelity video scaling, windowing and audio downmixing.
