“Semtech’s BlueRiver technology enabled Black Box to offer
products accelerating the consolidation of AV and data on a single
network, while enabling flexible, mixed-use case applications,”
said Jonathan McCune, Director of Product Management for AV and
Infrastructure at Black Box. “By converging AV and data signals to
the same network, our BlueRiver-enabled MCX solutions reduce
network management time and cost for the customer.”
Black Box’s MCX products enable organizations in virtually any
industry to reduce network management time and cost by converging
AV and data on a single network. MCX products leverage Semtech’s
BlueRiver technology to support current SDVoE-enabled uncompressed
4K60 AV over Ethernet. Black Box’s MCX S7 distributes AV signals to
an unlimited number of remote displays with near zero
source-to-display latency and seamless switching, while supporting
HDMI 2.0 over IP (Internet Protocol). The MCX S9 supports advanced
scaling options for multiview, picture-in-picture (PIP), split
screen, HDMI 2.0, and DisplayPort 1.2 over IP for advanced mixed
use case applications. Black Box’s innovative MCX products have
begun shipping, visit the Black Box website for more

ecosystem of SDVoE-based solutions that are changing the industry
through flexible, Ethernet-based AV transmission,” said Don Shaver,
Vice President of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity
Products Group. “BlueRiver offers advanced processing capabilities
beyond what is possible with a matrix switch, enabling MCX users to
take full advantage of uncompressed 4K60 AV distribution without
compromising latency, quality or bandwidth.”
