3-GHz HDMI receiver is industry’s first

Offered as the first of its kind, the ADV7619 3-GHz dual-port receiver enables AV designers to realize the full benefits of 3D and HD video formats (1080p at 60 Hz), while future-proofing designs for the delivery of 4k x 2k digital cinema content, which at four times the resolution of 1080p, is considered by industry experts to be the next frontier in home theater displays. This receiver incorporates HDMI specification version 1.4a support 3D display resolutions and extended colorimetry.

Unlike existing 2.25-GHz ICs, this device is effective for next-generation home entertainment AV systems that must support the higher data rates required for emerging 3D and HD sports, movie and broadcast content. The receiver incorporates the company’s Xpressview fast switching technology, which enables automatic switching between multiple HDMI-enabled AV systems in less than 1 s.

The ADV7619 offers an on-chip CEC (consumer electronics component) controller, an integrated audio codec, support for HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) 1.4 and complete audio support of S/PDIF (Sony/Philips digital interface format) for compressed audio, including Dolby Digital and DTS; and two-channel I2S audio for transmitting stereo at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The ADV7619 allows for optional inclusion of embedded key support for HDCP 1.4 content protection. Housed in a 14 x 14-mm TQFP_EP package, the part operates over 0° to 70°C. ($7.09 ea/1,000 — available June 2011.)
