STMicroelectronics Introduces New Series of Multimedia Display System-on-Chip

Spreads a new high across multiple electronics applications, leading global semiconductor suppliers and world-leading system-on-chip (SoC) development and manufacturing company STMicroelectronics (ST; NYSE: STM) The integrated system-level chip cleverly integrates full audio and video input, advanced video quality, and richer features. The new system-on-chip is designed for multi-functional high-end displays, public displays, all-in-one PCs, and high-performance notebooks.

The TDP9320, STDP9210, and STDP7320, the first of three new multimedia display system-on-chip chips, integrate DisplayPort 1.2 receivers and transmitters with high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) 1.4 receivers. In addition, the STDP9320 and STDP9210 also support 120Hz 3D Full HD (FHD) WQXGA* and WQHD* ultra-high resolution display panels, while the STDP7320 supports 60Hz FHD WUXGA* display panels. The new product also has features that are not available in its class, including multiple video streaming capabilities that support multiple daisy-chains, patented active window detection, simplified end-user accessible firmware updates, and ST Faroudja®'s industry-leading paintings. Quality enhancement technology.

The DisplayPort 1.2 receiver/transmitter can achieve data bandwidths of up to 21.6 Gbps and transmit multiple video signal streams for daisy-chained display applications over a single cable. The HDMI 1.4 receiver supports all mandatory 3D input formats specified by the HDMI 1.4 specification. Users can use ST's patented EZ-FUN (Simplified Firmware Upgrade Network) feature through a streamlined On-Screen Display (OSD) to make it easier to upgrade consumer electronics display firmware.

The family of system-level chips also provides other digital audio and video interfaces such as dual digital video interface (DVI), analog components, TTL, and SPDIF/I2S inputs. The panel interface includes four channels of low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) and an internal DisplayPort (iDP) or embedded DisplayPort (eDP) format.

In order to achieve higher picture quality and applicability, the new system-on-chip integrates features not found in similar products, including:

• Active window detection: Automatically detects and optimizes video embedded in multimedia content on the network, automatically applying Faroudja adaptive contrast control II (ACC II), active color management 3D (ACM-3D), and temporary noise reduction (TNR) technology. Affected by the main menu settings on the screen;

• Brightness inconsistency correction: Excellent flat field correction performance;

• Six-axis independent color control: Provides color correction or customization;

• PiP/PaP: Enables viewers to watch two different video sources at the same time, which is an advantage of integrating two independent video processors.
