TranSwitch Announces World's First High-Definition Video Interconnect Receiver Integrating HDMI and DisplayPort Technologies
- New HDplay(TM) Video Interconnect Products Are the Industry‘s Most Advanced, Highest Speed Devices Utilizing TranSwitch’s HDP(TM) Technology
TranSwitch‘s patented HDP™ technology enables electronics devices with HDMI® ports to now connect with those using DisplayPort because HDP™ can work seamlessly with each. TranSwitch’s new family of HDplay™ ICs thus eliminates the need for expensive, active converter cables. It lets consumers view crisp, clear video from their notebook PCs, tablets and smart phones on high definition televisions using a simple passive cable.
According to Dr. Ali Khatibzadeh, TranSwitch‘s President and CEO, “The introduction of our HDplay™ products is an important milestone for the company’s new growth strategy in the consumer electronics market. It marks the first product announcement resulting from the strategic process we initiated last year to create a new growth engine for the company targeted at consumer products.”
TranSwitch's new HDplay™ products are fully integrated ICs designed with four HDP™ inputs and one HDMI® output. They are the first to support all HDMI 1.4a resolutions including 4K x 2K, the highest resolution which is used in large screen TVs, and 3D 1080p at 60Hz, the highest resolution for 3D-TV. In addition, other consumer electronics devices such as projectors and AV (audio/video) receivers will now be capable of supporting the exceptional image capability of the highest resolution 3D televisions. Also, HDplay™ fully integrates high-speed Ethernet connectivity for digital TVs and other appliances. According to In-Stat, a leading market research firm, the annual shipment of internet-connected televisions, set-top boxes, DVD players, gaming consoles, and personal video recorders is expected to grow to over 1 billion units by 2015.
Also according to In-Stat, DisplayPort will replace the existing video interconnect standards (DVI and LVDS) on PCs and PC-peripherals over the next 2-4 years resulting in a market of over 300 million device shipments a year by 2014 (“In Depth Analysis DisplayPort: DP, eDP, and iDP Set to Change Display and PC Landscapes,” January 2011). DisplayPort has been widely adopted by many of the world's leading technology companies, including Apple, Hewlett Packard and Dell (www.DisplayPort.org).
Amir Bar-Niv, Vice President of Systems and Applications at TranSwitch, reports, “TranSwitch's long history of providing superior IP cores combined with our exclusive HDP™ technology has positioned us as the leading IP core provider in the rapidly growing HD Video marketplace. We have leveraged this technology to roll out fully integrated circuits that enable devices such as televisions, PCs, tablets, and smart phones to communicate seamlessly with each other.”
The new HDplay™ ICs from TranSwitch support audio return channel (ARC), HDMI Ethernet Channel-enabled HDMI ports (HEC), and fast Ethernet 10/100 PHY. In addition, all of the devices are very low power to support the energy saving initiatives of equipment manufacturers.
What is HDP™?
HDP™ is dual-mode PHY developed by TranSwitch which supports both HDMI™ 1.4 and DisplayPort™ 1.1 in single physical layer (PHY) without needing any switch. HDP™‘s Auto-detect capability not only facilitates connectivity between PCs and HDMI® consumer electronics devices but also significantly simplifies the software control, drives devices’ size reduction while lowering the bill of materials for manufacturers.
