Pericom Unveils Innovative DisplayPort Video Switch Solutions
Pericom showcases its new video switching solutions for PC computing and consumer electronic products based on DisplayPort (DP), HDMI, DVI and VGA protocols.
These Multi-Protocol Solutions Provide Flexibility and Harmony in Video-Signal Processing
Pericom showcases its new video switching solutions for PC computing and consumer electronic products based on DisplayPort (DP), HDMI, DVI and VGA protocols.
The new products include a DP-to-DP DeMultiplexer, two electrical bridges for DP-to VGA/HDMI and a DP ReDriver. The new DisplayPort ReDriver signal conditioner offers system stability in PC design, and expands Pericom’s leading-edge ReDriver family for PCI Express, SATA/SAS and HDMI. The DisplayPort Multiplexer/De-multiplexer family, allows users to expand the digital video ports of the graphics processor, or can efficiently drive a single panel with multiple graphics sources. The DP electrical bridges allow interoperability with older video standards such as DVI, HDMI, and VGA and expand the existing line-up of Pericom level shifters for digital display that include DP-to-HDMI/DVI.
The PC Computing market will see DisplayPort enabled device shipments growing from 18% in 2009 to 77% in 2011. Pericom’s latest video switching solutions in DisplayPort, HDMI and VGA are well positioned to connect the PCs to the monitors that are based on old and new protocol standards.
Rapid adoption of the new DP standard is made possible by the availability of DP connectors on new computers – supported by the latest chipsets from Nvidia, Intel, and AMD. Pericom provide the bridging scheme required for a short interim until the displays also migrate towards DP; DisplayPort implementation is more accessible with the new ReDriver and DP switches.
DisplayPort (DP) is a license-free next-generation digital audio/video interconnect standard (VESA 2007) used between computer and display monitor and widely supported by companies such as Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Fujitsu and Sony.
