Texas Instruments DLP unveils a new family of image processing chips designed for front projectors that enables broader standardization of 3D and interactive technologies.
Projectors with the new chipset design (to be incorporated in shipping units starting late summer 2012) will display content from common 3D-formats supported by HDMI 1.4, from almost any mobile device-- including tablets, smart phones, laptops and Blu-ray players.
One leading benefit is the chipset will allow projectors to work with any standard input-format as well as any light source, at any of the full spectrum of resolutions, including XGA, SVGA, WXGA, 1080p and WUXGA. Additionally, functionality has been integrated enabling more cost-effective interactive-ready projectors.
The new chipset also helps the shift to lamp-free light sources with features designed specifically for solid state deployment (provides a wider range of manufacturing options).
Ease of connectivity and deployment is another benefit of the new chipset, as it allows end users to run downloadable content from a laptop, tablet or other mobile device--while still supporting standard formats like Blu-ray and DVD.
