OREANDA-NEWS. Toshiba Corporation announced that it has launched "TC358779XBG", the industry's first[1] High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI(r)) to MIPI(r) Display Serial Interface (DSI) bridge IC for consumer and industrial applications that use small form-factor LCD displays. Samples are now available, with mass production scheduled to start in December this year.

The "TC358779XBG" converts HDMI(r) video input and outputs it as a MIPI(r) DSI video stream output. This will promote adoption of MIPI(r)-compliant small form-factor LCD displays in applications that include game accessories, wearable computers and head-mounted products.

The product also integrates video preprocessing functions-video de-interlacing, scaling and format conversion-and supports multiple audio interfaces, including the I2S, TDM, S/PDIF and MIPI(r) Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus (SLIMbus(r)) audio formats.
