WALDENBURG,Germany and HOD
HASHARON, Israel,
June 2,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Würth Elektronik, a leading
manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components, and
Valens Semiconductor (NYSE:VLN), a premier provider of high-speed
connectivity solutions for the audio-video and automotive markets,
today announced that they have introduced to market a joint
solution to enable medical image diagnosis and procedures with
unprecedented video resolution. The offering encompasses secure,
cost-effective, uncompressed, high-bandwidth video connectivity and
advances camera imaging. The joint reference design is currently
under evaluation by leading medical imaging device
manufacturers.
Medical imaging devices, such as MRIs, CTs, robotic surgery and
endoscopy solutions, require high-bandwidth uncompressed video
connectivity. Würth Elektronik and Valens Semiconductor have
developed a solution that enables uncompressed 4K60@4:4:4 video
transmission over copper cable while complying with the strict
medical isolation specifications.
Core components of the reference design (EVS3-EVK2-KT-3000-MD)
are the Valens Stello VS3000 chipset, compliant with the latest
generation of the HDBaseT standard Spec 3.0, and the WE-LAN HDBaseT
transformer from Würth Elektronik (749054010). This ensures
galvanic isolation and compliance with the IEC 60601 standard for
safe electrical equipment in the medical environment.
"Valens Semiconductor has long been a market leader in the
audio-video industry and our technologies are making inroads into
adjacent markets such as medical imaging," said Gabi Shriki, SVP and Head of Audio-Video at
Valens Semiconductor. "This collaboration is testament to Würth
Elektronik's continued leadership in the market and underpins their
role in the HDBaseT ecosystem. Medical imaging is an expanding
market. Our joint offering enables better and safer healthcare for
patients around the world."
"Würth Elektronik has the only solution that can isolate a
connection with such high bandwidth," says Alexander Gerfer, Chief
Technology Officer at Würth Elektronik. "There is strong demand for
higher image quality in the medical segment. The combination of our
transformers and Valens Semiconductor's world-class chipsets covers
this demand. We're a market leader and pioneer in technological
innovation, so we are confident that manufacturers will use this
solution."
