We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SMPTE",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Professional encoder spans broadcast markets from
Horizon Semiconductors, which we summarised at the time by saying "Supports wide range of features and capabilities designed to meet the emerging requirements of the broadcast and professional encoding equipment markets".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release SoC supports both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray codes from
Horizon Semiconductors: "Single IC enables dual-channel native 1080/60p decoding, encoding and transcoding for next generation media players/recorders supporting both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray optical disc formats".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Fischer Connectors
concerning its 1053 Series
- take a look at Fibre connector speeds switch to HDTV
which says: "Fischer's fibre-optic 1053 HDTV broadcast camera connector is credited with a significant contribution to MTV's successful HD-readiness".
Take a look also at the news release from National Semiconductor, LVDS switch suits clock and data switching/routing,
as well as Chipset and boards cut media centre costs from Broadcom Corp,
and Compact DVR offers easy OEM integration from FFV.
