SoCs let designers rapidly deploy DisplayPort 1.2 interfaces, high-resolution 3D

Designed for multi-function premium monitors, public displays, All-in-One PCs and high-performance notebooks, STMicroelectronics is sampling SoCs that integrate video and audio inputs, advanced video quality and expanded functionality.

The first three members of the new multi-media monitor SoC family, STDP9320, STDP9210 and STDP7320, combine a DisplayPort 1.2 receiver and transmitter and a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 1.4 receiver. In addition, the STDP9320 and STDP9210 sustain 120Hz 3D Full High-Definition (FHD), very high-resolution WQXGA and WQHD display panels, while the STDP7320 supports 60Hz FHD WUXGA display panels. The new products feature multi-stream, multi-monitor daisy chain support, patented active video window detection, simple end-user accessible firmware updating, and the company’s Faroudja imaging technology.

The STDP9320 and STDP9210 (WQXGA and WQHD/ 120Hz FHD) in 521-ball BGA packages are now sampling to early adapter customers. The STDP7320 (WUXGA / 60Hz FHD) will be available for sampling in a 345-ball BGA package in Q4 2011.
