Silicon Image (NASDAQ: SIMG), a leading provider of HD
connectivity solutions today announced the availability of a
reference design based on MediaTek’s Quad-Core MT6589 smartphone
platform and Silicon Image’s SiI8338 MHL® transmitter with Media
Data Tunneling (MDT) technology. The high-performance MT6589
platform has been designed to deliver a premium smartphone
experience at affordable price points. When combined with the
SiI8338, this platform turns smartphones into ultra-portable PCs or
multi-media entertainment devices when connected to MHL-enabled
computing accessories or large displays.

“The Quad-Core MT6589 reference design delivers a highly
integrated communications, multi-media, and mobile computing
platform in a single system-on-chip (SOC),” said Jeffrey Ju,
General Manager of the Smartphone Business Unit at MediaTek, Inc.
“What is more, our future is much more than smartphones. By
integrating the Silicon Image MHL transmitter and MDT technology
into our platform, we are able to maximize the computing
capabilities of the MT6589 Quad-Core processor and expand its reach
to smartphone models that meet the communications, multi-media, and
productivity needs of consumers today and tomorrow. The
multi-screen entertainment experience has never been so immersive
and affordable, and consumers, from now on, will have more choices
in determining how they want to enjoy content.”
Silicon Image MDT technology is a protocol designed to enable
MHL mobile devices, such as smartphones, to transmit data
simultaneously with HD video and audio to another MHL device. By
utilizing this technology manufacturers can quickly develop mobile
computing accessories for MHL-enabled smartphones and tablets,
including keyboards, touch pads, mice or touch panels to interact
with an MHL-enabled display. Silicon Image MDT technology has been
integrated into the Silicon Image SiI8338 MHL® transmitter and is
delivered via the MHL link on the smartphone.
“Our collaboration with MediaTek has resulted in new smart
productivity applications that leverage the power of the MT6589
platform and highlight the full capabilities of our MHL solutions,”
said Tim Vehling, Vice President of Product Marketing at Silicon
Image, Inc. “We look forward to smartphones and computing
accessories based on this high-performance reference platform being
deployed into the global market, enabling consumers everywhere to
experience their smartphones or tablets functioning as both an
entertainment as well as a mobile computing device.”
