i-Chips IP00C733A

Quad Input/Output Scaler for 4kip00c733

 

The IP00C733A 4K scaler is a highly capable image processing solution with 4 independent image processing channels, each equipped with 4 input ports and 4 output ports operating at 166 MHz. This versatile chip supports various output formats, including Full-HD/WUXGA with a single output and UHDTV/WQXGA or 4K2K@60Hz with multiple outputs.

One of the standout features of the IP00C733A is its advanced picture quality control technology from i-Chips. This technology includes extended-range gamma correction and color uniformity correction, which ensures superior image quality and meets the requirements for higher visual standards.

With its advanced and versatile overlay function, the IP00C733A is an excellent choice for applications such as video walls, multi-viewers, converters, and digital signage. This function allows for flexible combinations of the 4 input channels, supporting Picture-in-Picture (PiP), Picture-out-Picture (PoP), mirror/flip, and 90-degree rotation. Additionally, the device implements dot-by-dot uniformity correction, specifically designed for OLED and LED displays, further enhancing the visual output.

The IP00C733A offers comprehensive image quality control capabilities, including gamma correction, uniformity correction, color conversion matrix, and bias adjustment. It also provides powerful image manipulation features like 4-channel overlay, alpha blending, and color key blending, as well as mirror/flip/90-degree image rotation.

With regards to connectivity, the IP00C733A supports an 8-bit parallel or 4-wire serial CPU interface and utilizes DDR2-SDRAM external memory for efficient data processing. It also incorporates input/output synchronization features such as frame rate conversion, tearing protection, external force synchronization, and genlock using an external VCXO.

The package includes a 544-pin BGA (Ball Grid Array) with a 1mm pitch, offering a compact size of 27mm x 27mm. The power supply requirements are 3.3V/1.8V/1.2V, ensuring compatibility with various systems.

The IP00C733A is a quad input/output scaler for 4K applications, designed to deliver exceptional image processing performance. Its advanced features and versatile capabilities make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including video walls, multi-viewers, converters, and digital signage, where superior image quality and flexible overlay functionality are crucial.
