The company Gennum has released an official press release , which states that its specialists managed to achieve data transfer rates over the optical channel with the maximum available speed of 12 gigabits per second. This speed was achieved thanks to the use of Gennum microcircuits in the standard “bundle” of equipment ( XFP transceiver ).
This achievement, by the way, is by no means laboratory: Gennum conducted tests in public - at the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition, held in Japan from November 20 to 22. This high speed of video transmission allows us to talk about the possibility of supporting only beginners in the UHDTV formats: 435M, D-Cinema and 12-bit 4: 4: 4 1080p.
