Semtech sells video optical module product line to Embrionix

Date: 19/03/2013
Semtech has announced the sale of its video optical module (optical SFP) product line to Embrionix. Embrionix is the market leader in coaxial, converter and intelligent SFP solutions to the video industry and is the only optical SFP supplier focused on the broadcast video market. Semtech says it has decided to divest a non-core portion of its video business, which is not material to Semtech's broadcast video revenue.

"We are excited to formalize our relationship with Embrionix, who will be a successful supplier to the SFP market with our VOM products," said Gary Beauchamp, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Gennum Product Group. Semtech selected Embrionix because of its focus on the broadcast video market and its expertise in the development, sales, and marketing of SFP module solutions.

"With the acquisition of Semtech's video optical SFP line, Embrionix is now a one-stop shop for video coaxial, fiber and converter SFP and advanced emSFP," said Renaud Lavoie, CEO of Embrionix.
