IC sharpens full-HD images/videos

The µPD9280GM super-resolution application-specific standard product (ASSP) can reduce blurring that occurs when low-resolution, 720 x 480-pixel SD images and video are expanded for and displayed on 1,920 x 1,080-pixel HD monitors. It is also capable of supporting 30-bit color depths to enhance color vividness and accuracy.

The device, which has an operating frequency of 150 MHz, employs a technology that enables very high-resolution processing with just one frame of image data. The unit does not require external memory. ($20 ea / sample qty — samples available now; prod qty beginning in July.)
