i-Chips IP00C331

4K Quad Input De-interlacer/Scaler/Warping LSIIP00c331

The IP00C331 is a 4K60Hz up/down scaler that brings a host of impressive capabilities to the table. Designed with a user-friendly interface and advanced features, it is a versatile solution for high-quality 4K video processing.

With its four input ports, each supporting up to 4K60Hz signals, and two output ports of the same impressive resolution, the IP00C331 provides the freedom to work with multiple 4K sources simultaneously. Its ability to independently scale each source to any desired size and position on a composite 4K60Hz output opens up limitless possibilities for creative video manipulation.

Internally, the IP00C331 boasts eight up/down scaler cores and four de-interlacer cores, ensuring precise scaling and seamless processing of interlaced input. This results in exceptional video quality and smooth transitions when working with various video sources.

In addition to its outstanding scaling capabilities, the IP00C331 offers a range of advanced features that elevate its performance. With 90-degree rotation and mirror-flip capabilities, it allows for versatile video orientation and manipulation, enabling creative expression and customization. The support for PQ and HLG HDR systems (10-bit) and the inclusion of a 3DLUT for color management empower users to create visually stunning content with vibrant colors and impressive dynamic range.

The IP00C331 is not only powerful but also designed with efficiency in mind. Its compact form factor, utilizing the high-speed serial V-by-One®HS bus interface with only eight lanes, minimizes the board space required for integration. This makes it an ideal choice for projects where space is a premium, without compromising on performance.
