Chrontel CH7017 Video Display Solution Selected by Samsung for Latest Notebook PCs; Chrontel LVDS + TV-Out + Video Scaler Device Drives Flat Panel Display and External TV.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2002) Chrontel (http://www.chrontel.com), a leading video interface technology company, has been selected to supply video interface chips for Samsung's latest notebook PC designs. Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company. Co., Ltd. (KSE KSE Karachi Stock Exchange KSE Kuwait Stock Exchange KSE Korea Stock Exchange KSE Kernel Scheduler Entities KSE Kill Switch Engage (band) KSE Kuat Systems Engineering (Star Wars) : 05930.KS), a leading global electronics brand, will use Chrontel's CH7017 LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. (low voltage differential (hardware) Low Voltage Differential - (LVD) A method of driving SCSI cables that will be formalised in the SCSI-3 specifications. LVD uses less power than the current differential drive (HVD), is less expensive and will allow the higher speeds of Ultra-2 SCSI. LVD requires 3. signal) + TV-Out transmitter to drive the flat panel displays and external TVs in Samsung's new Intel Pentium 4-based computers. "Samsung views the PC as a platform for digital convergence. We are aggressively designing new products that meet the needs of PC consumers worldwide, who increasingly demand a range of video output capabilities," said Samsung Senior Engineering Manager, Mr. Kevin Lee. "Chrontel's LVDS + TV-Out chip enables Samsung to cost-effectively combine a PC flat panel display and external TV-out display into our new notebook designs." Almost every notebook computer contains an LVDS chip, which is the standard industry technology for transmitting the output of a PC graphics processor to a flat panel display. Chrontel's CH7017 integrates a dual LVDS transmitter with a TV-out (or TV encoder), which sends video signals directly to a conventional NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. or PAL television. The chip also incorporates a display scaler, which automatically adjusts the output pixel resolution pixel resolution Telemedicine The sharpness of a computerized image, based on pixel concentration, which determines display resolution to the physical size of the display. The CH7017, announced by Chrontel in August, is the first integrated circuit to combine all three video functions into a single device. According to independent industry analysts, Samsung has a major share of the Asian PC market, the world's fastest growing region for computer purchases. "We consider Samsung's selection of Chrontel's CH7017 chip for their latest notebook PCs to be an enormous endorsement of our technology," said Dr. David Soo, Chrontel president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
