Gennum Debuts PCI Express 3.0 IP, Showcases Bridging Solutions for HD Video at PCI-SIG
New PCIe 2.0 Products, PCIe 3.0 IP Highlighted in Multiple Speaking Sessions
Gennum Corporation (TSX: GND) continues to push performance limits for PCI Express (PCIe) with demonstrations next week at the PCI-SIG Developers Conference being held in San Jose July 15-16. Gennum's Snowbush IP group will showcase the industry's first public demonstration of a PCIe 3.0 PHY, highlighting its unprecedented electrical performance, as well as demonstrations of PCIe 2.0 and SATA IP in a PCIe SATA bridge. Gennum will also demonstrate 3 gigabits (Gb/s) live video capture using Gennum's PCIe solutions, underscoring the potential for PCIe in SDI video applications.
Technical experts from Gennum will also present at the two-day conference, an event designed to provide intensive training on all aspects of PCIe.
| What: | PCIe HD Video Capture Demonstration An HD camera captures live video to a graphics display. Gennum's GN4124 bridge allows for uncompressed 3G/HD/SDI video capture to the PCIe bus at PCIe 1.1 transfer rates. The PCI Express bus is extended 15 meters from the host PC using Gennum's GN1406 PCIe extender solution. The streaming video will be displayed on the video monitor. (Note: Gennum's GN1406 extender solution also allows full rate PCIe 2.0 to the PCIe bus of the host PC for bandwidth intensive applications.)
