Immersive environments powered by ZeeVee, SDVoE™ and Semtech BlueRiver® platform effectively tell important stories through high quality video/audio
Semtech Corporation, a leading global supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced its collaboration with ZeeVee, a global manufacturer of video and signal distribution technology for Professional AV and IT markets, for the Tennessee State Museum. The goal of the collaboration is to attract and engage a new audience to the museum with a state-of-the-art AV system. Powering the museum’s exhibits is the collaborative Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE™) signal distribution solution featuring ZeeVee ZyPer4K encoders and decoders and Semtech’s BlueRiver® AV-over-IP technology. The result is the delivery of high quality, uncompressed 4K60 video with native SDVoE connectivity, which reduced the cost and complexity of the AV system.
“The Tennessee State Museum’s exhibits are now improved with the highest quality uncompressed 4K60 video to engage and entertain museum visitors.”
“The museum’s role is very important to the local community and beyond. This use of the BlueRiver AV processor technology, an integral part of ZeeVee’s ZyPer4K SDVoE solution, is a remarkable example of Professional AV technology being utilized for this application,” said Don Shaver, vice president of marketing of video products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “The Tennessee State Museum’s exhibits are now improved with the highest quality uncompressed 4K60 video to engage and entertain museum visitors.”

The museum has become a must-see attraction for Tennesseans, history buffs and tourists alike. Its mission of procuring, preserving, exhibiting, and interpreting objects, which relate to the social, political, economic, and cultural history of Tennessee, is enhanced by many immersive and interactive AV-driven exhibits. Semtech’s BlueRiver AV platform satisfied the needs of the Tennessee State Museum for a high quality audio and video experience through its unparalleled capabilities.
“The vision of the Tennessee State Museum’s administration and the layout of the facility, combined with the important history-telling mission, made this a particularly rewarding project to work on,” said Sue Lepp, senior vice president of Design & Production, an integrator firm for the project. “A museum experience should be entertaining as well as educational in order to draw repeat visitors and keep the interest of today’s tech savvy audiences.”
