Toshiba touts 4K HDMI to MIP dual-DSI converter chipset
The device, which performs video format conversion, supports high-resolution, real-time monitor displays like head-mounted products
Toshiba has launched the TC358870XBG, which it claims is the industry's first 4K High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) to MIPI dual-DSI converter chipset with video format conversion. This is according to a Toshiba survey conducted on April 18th, 2014.
The new IC also supports conversion of HDMI audio input stream to I2S, TDM, or SLIMbus (Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus), allowing use in a wide range of applications.
Applications are for consumer and industrial products with high resolution LCD displays, such as head-mounted displays (HMD), mobile devices, gaming accessories, and wearable computer displays.
Samples are available now, with mass production scheduled to start in September.
The new IC drives up to 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a refresh rate of 30 frames per second (fps) with dual-DSI interface. It also supports WQXGA (2560 x 1600) at 60 frames per second and full HD resolutions at 120 fps. Its low latency enhances real-time gaming application and virtual reality products with high resolution LCD displays.
