First True 24-Bit Color All-Digital Video Interface Chips Scale From VGA To SXGA.CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 1998-- New PanelLink Digital Transmitter and Receiver Chips Provide Designers with Low-Cost, High-Quality 100% Digital Industry-standard Interface Silicon Image Inc. announced Monday the immediate availability of a new family of low-cost integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. which enable for the first time the design of scaleable, 24-bit "true color (1) Specifically, refers to 16,777,216 colors (24-bit color). See high color. (2) Generically, refers to photo-realistic color (typically requires 24-bit color as a minimum). " all-digital links between computem, cross-display compatibility with other confoaphics and ATI (ATI Technologies Inc., Markham Ontario, http://ati.amd.com) A leading manufacturer of graphics chips and display adapters. Founded in 1985 by K. Y. Ho, Benny Lau and Lee Lau, ATI chips and boards are widely used by OEMs. video/graphics add-in boards. enables the new Digital Flat Panel Digital Flat Panel (DFP) is a video connector for flat panel displays. It features 20 pins and uses the PanelLink protocol. Unlike DVI, DFP never achieved widespread implementation. The connector was used by displays such as the Compaq Presario FP400, FP500 and 5204. (DFP (Digital Flat Panel) A digital interface for a flat panel display from VESA (www.vesa.org). Based on the electrical interface of the earlier P&D (Plug & Display) standard, DFP uses TMDS transmission and a 20-pin mini-D ribbon (MDR) connector. ) Port tisplay has been "overwhelmingly positive," adde who wish to offer a standardized digital video Depending upon the connector chosen, the inte interconnect media has been connected or disco compatibility. According to Scott Macomber, president of Silicon Image, the digital flat-panel displaymer electronics products need to be able to linkeen able to accomplish this scaleability becausUniversal Transmitter and SiI 151 Receiver are l video/graphics display interface technology. Tther sources of video and digital video display devices such as flat-panel monitors. PanelLink technoloket standards efforts including VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association, Milpitas, CA, www.vesa.org) A membership organization founded in 1989 that sets interface standards for the PC, workstation and computing environments. Note the following VESA standards following this entry.
