Case Study: Lynx Technik AG achieves lossless bi-directional SDI signal conversion with Promwad FPGA firmware and hardware design

Lynx Technik AG delivers lossless 12G-to-4x3G SDI conversion with Promwad

Lynx Technik AG, a German professional A/V and broadcasting equipment company, required a next-generation FPGA-based solution for real-time, high-definition video signal conversion. Their challenge was to design a bi-directional single-link to quad-link converter that could avoid signal loss during conversion. The vendor, Promwad, was engaged to develop this complex embedded system.

Promwad designed and delivered a 3G/12G SDI gearbox based on an Intel Cyclone 10 GX FPGA. Their solution included custom hardware design and firmware development, enabling lossless bi-directional conversion between single-link 12G-SDI and quad-link 3G-SDI streams. The optimized design ensured high reliability and performance, allowing Lynx Technik AG to meet the growing market demand for professional broadcast terminal equipment with a product ready for release.
