New ICs Enable Consumers to Connect Their
Legacy Analog Consumer Electronics Devices with the Latest Digital
MHL or HDMI Displays
Silicon Image (NASDAQ:SIMG), a leading provider of multimedia
connectivity solutions and services, today announced the industry’s
first analog-to-MHL®/HDMI® converter integrated circuits (ICs) that
provide OEMs with cost-optimized adapter solutions for connecting
analog sources to HDMI or MHL-enabled DTVs. With these new
adapters, consumers can enjoy content from legacy VCRs, DVD
players, camcorders, set-top-boxes, and console games that have
analog outputs on the latest HDMI or MHL-enabled displays -
including 4K UHD TVs. In addition, these new ICs - when integrated
into DTVs and displays - allow manufacturers to remove expensive
and bulky legacy analog inputs on the TV, saving board space and
overall cost.
“HDMI and MHL have become the de-facto connectivity standards
for connecting CE and mobile devices, with over three-and-a-half
billion enabled products combined on the market,” said C.H. Chee,
senior director of marketing at Silicon Image, Inc. “Being able to
connect legacy analog devices to late model DTVs brings the digital
experience to a whole new audience. Our converter ICs delivered
with complete reference designs make it easy for OEMs to create
small form factor analog-to-MHL or analog-to-HDMI adapters.”
The Sil8784 IC is designed to accept analog component, composite
or VGA input and convert it to either HDMI or MHL, allowing for a
variety of adapters to be implemented. An analog-to-MHL adapter has
the additional benefit of being powered by the TV’s MHL port,
eliminating the need for an external power supply.
The Sil8788 IC is designed for easy integration into video
switching devices such as A/V receivers, video processors and video
switchers that need to support a wide array of video interfaces for
home theater system.
Both converter ICs include VRS® ClearView™ technology, which
features edge smoothing and picture enhancement, resulting in
visibly improved picture quality.
Sil8784 & Sil8788 Features:
- 10-bit, 170 MHz video ADCs
- NTSC, PAL, SECAM video decoder
- Interlaced to progressive
conversion
- VRS® ClearView™ technology for removing
artifacts and enhancing picture quality
- Embedded 8051 host processor
- SCART with fast blanking (Sil8784)
- VBI processor (Sil8788)
- MHL/HDMI output with HDCP 1.4
encryption (Sil8784)
- TTL output (Sil8788)
Sil8784 and Sil8788 product samples and supporting collateral
