Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 Display-related standards news compiled by Phillip Hill and Mark Fihn NEC Electronics America demonstrates USB 3.0 connectivity NEC Electronics America announced the industry’s first prototype devices based on the USB 3.0 specification, which was announced by the USB Implementers Forum last November. NEC Electronics’ USB 3.0 prototype devices will support data transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 transfer speeds, and will also support backward compatibility in consumer electronic devices based on the current USB specification. Similar to its development activities with USB 2.0 and Wireless USB, NEC Electronics is evaluating a variety of standard USB 3.0 products such as host and hub controllers, bridge chips and device IP. http://www.necel.com/usb/en/index.html Samsung monitors use new display technology to create seamless multi-display Samsung Electronics America launched a set of high-performance monitors that offer a seamless multi-display solution for optimal viewing. The monitors include a new 22-inch SyncMaster 2243QW, as well as the laptop companion monitors LD220 and LD190X. All three monitors incorporate Samsung’s UbiSync technology to help extend users’ visual workspace by connecting up to six displays to a PC via USB cable. UbiSync technology creates a multi-monitor system that can be operated from a single PC without a graphics card or complex software installations. The Samsung 2243QW has a resolution of 1680x1050, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 5ms response time ensuring smooth video performance on each networked display. In addition to a built-in USB hub, it features the traditional VGA (15-pin D-sub) and DVI-D connections. The monitor is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, and it comes with a pivot function that allows it to operate in either portrait or landscape mode. The LD190X model uses UbiSync wireless technology that transmits video signals to the monitor from the host notebook and uses about 33% less energy than conventional 19-inch product. The UbiSync software allows the LDseries monitors to attain the same level of brightness on two screens, with one button, to help reduce eye fatigue, and an easy-to-adjust viewpoint. http://www.samsung.com Samsung to provide fully-integrated PC-over-IP LCD displays using Teradici technology Teradici Corporation announced a partnership with Samsung Electronics to provide Teradici’s PC-over-IP (PCoIP) technology directly integrated into the new SyncMaster 930ND 19-inch LCD display. The Samsung display incorporating PCoIP technology will deliver a rich graphical experience to desktop users in a fully-integrated display product with all host computing equipment located in a data center or any remote location. The SyncMaster 930ND is the world’s first PCoIP display that fits conveniently on a desktop and allows users to take advantage of all the high-resolution graphics, HD media and interoperability enabled by PCoIP technology. It is a fully stateless client that supports any user type from task worker to extreme 3D workstation in a single desktop appliance - an innovative alternative that delivers greater scalability than traditional thin clients. The integrated PCoIP display features include: contrast ratio of 1000:1, resolution up to 1280x1024, four USB connectors, 2-way HD audio, DVI-out for a second display, and supports both PCoIP and RDP modes. http://www.teradici.com Hauppauge launches TV application for PCs Hauppauge Digital announced WinTV v7, a major new version of their WinTV application. WinTV v7 was designed to be used by the new generation of digital TV tuners for PCs and was designed to add support for new features found in North American over-the-air ATSC digital TV transmissions. Some of the new features in WinTV v7 for digital TV include: program information, close caption display and parental control. In addition to these features for digital TV programs, WinTV v7 supports mixed Hauppauge TV tuners in a PC system. For example, a user might have a Hauppauge TV tuner in their PC and wants to add a second Hauppauge USB attached TV tuner so that they can record two TV programs at once. WinTV v7 allows the mixing of different Hauppauge TV tuners. For European digital TV, WinTV v7 adds support for digital teletext and a free seven-day electronic program guide in addition to “now/next” program information. http://www.hauppauge.com 14
Veritas et Visus Display Standard February 2009 LG adopts Xceive silicon tuner for 2009 LCD and plasma TVs Xceive announced that LG has selected the XC5000 silicon tuner for its new lines of high-end flat panel TVs. Xceive’s XC5000 is the first silicon TV tuner IC accepted into mainstream TV production for worldwide markets. Xceive’s XC5000 will be embedded in LG’s LCD and plasma screens ranging from 22 to 60 inches. The addition of the XC5000’s smart tuner architecture on board will help reduce engineering costs across multiple regional products and reduce return rate due to tight production tolerances, protecting customers from product variances susceptible in CAN-based TVs. Additionally, the XC5000’s extremely small size (7x7mm) and footprint allows LG to deliver slimmer TV designs with a lower BOM. The XC5000 is the only global hybrid TV tuner with an onboard DSP controller and architecture to deliver tuner performance for all major analog and digital broadcast television standards worldwide. LG’s production TVs with the XC5000 has been field-tested over many months under worst-case scenarios. Even in the most challenging real world conditions, the DSP-enabled XC5000 never requires silicon changes as rapid corrections in firmware enable fast time to market. LG will adopt the XC5000 into performance TVs for mainstream markets immediately. The initial rollout will begin in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, followed by US, Singapore, Taiwan and Korea. http://www.xceive.com Valens Semiconductor’s HDBaseT enables in-home high definition connectivity Valens Semiconductor introducing its HDBaseT technology, enabling a single LAN cable to replace multiple cables and connectors. HDBaseT is optimized for video application and can connect all the entertainment devices at home by providing the 5Play convergence of 8Gbps of uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power over cable and various control signals. In addition to reducing the number of cables required, HDBaseT uses low-cost single standard Cat-5e/6 cable. HDBaseT also connects equipment that is up to 100m/328ft apart and uses the existing RJ-45 connector that is widely available. Valens’ HDBaseT is the first technology to enable 5Play convergence that consists of: � Full HD Uncompressed Video � Audio � 100BaseT Ethernet � Power Over Cable � Various Control Signals At the center of every multimedia distribution system, from basic point-to-point connectivity to a multisource/display system, is the ability to send control signals. Different types of control signals have different purposes, starting from CEC that operates basic functionality such as power-on, power-off and play/stop with a press of a button, to RS232/USB and IR that operate remote equipment even when it is located in a different room. http://www.valens-semi.com Panasonic and Comcast to collaborate on bringing HDMI-CEC to set-top boxes On the heels of the retail launch of the first tru2way-ready VIERA HDTV, Panasonic and Comcast Corporation announced that they are collaborating to bring HDMI-CEC technology to the latest generation of digital cable settop boxes. HDMI-CEC is the technology underlying Panasonic's VIERA Link technology, which enables single remote operation of Panasonic VIERA HDTVs and connected home entertainment components, such as Blu-ray disc players and home theater systems. Panasonic and Comcast are working to integrate HDMI-CEC technology with tru2way enabled set-top boxes that will enable non-tru2way HDTVs and other consumer electronics devices to interact with the set-top boxes via the use of a single TV remote control and a single user interface. Integrating the HDMI-CEC protocol with Comcast's on-screen program guide will allow set-top boxes to automatically configure connected home theater devices for optimal viewing and audio experiences and will enable intelligent interactive features, including auto input select and auto power on/off of all components. HDMI-CEC is already standard in all 2009 Panasonic VIERA HDTVs and select Comcast set-top boxes. The companies are now working with CableLabs to standardize HDMI-CEC for next generation digital set-top boxes. http://www.panasonic.com 15
