STMicroelectronics has announced a new SoC family with 'unique' integration of comprehensive video and audio inputs, advanced video quality and expanded functionality.
The devices have been designed for multifunction premium monitors, public displays, all in one pcs and high performance notebooks. According to ST, the SoC takes multimedia in 'new directions', delivers extensive support for 2d/3d input formats and display resolutions, while reducing system bill of materials.
The STDP9320, STDP9210 and STDP7320 combine a DisplayPort 1.2 receiver and transmitter and a HDMI 1.4 receiver. In addition, the STDP9320 and STDP9210 sustain 120Hz 3d fhd, very high resolution WQXGA and WQHD display panels, while the STDP7320 supports 60Hz fhd WUXGA display panels.
According to ST, the products include 'first of their kind' features such as multistream, multimonitor daisy chain support, patented active video window detection, end user accessible firmware updating and the company's Faroudja imaging technology.
The DisplayPort 1.2 receiver/transmitter enables wider bandwidth data - up to 21.6 Gb/s – and multistream transmission through a single cable for 'daisy chain' and 'tile' display monitor applications.
