The EQCO30T5.2 is a Video Cable Driver for 3G/HD/SDI video with speeds up to 4.0Gbps. It is designed to be a direct replacement for competing cable drivers. In addition to downlink functionality from camera to frame grabber, it can also receive a 5Mbps uplink signal from the frame grabber to the camera. Additionally, power can be provided over the same cable using the same chip and a few external components. The device operates with 8B/10B coded signals and with SMPTE signals up to 2.97Gbps.
