TranSwitch’s HDplay Solution Selected by Edge I&D for New High Definition Interactive LED-LCD Display Whiteboards
TranSwitch
Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC),
a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the rapidly growing
consumer electronics and telecommunications markets, today announced
that the Company’s HDplay™ transceiver has been designed into Edge I&D’s
new Interactive LED-LCD Display Whiteboards. The interactive whiteboard
models, using TXC-44144 HDplay transceivers, will be available in
displays ranging in size up to 84 inches and can support 4Kx2K video
resolution. Edge I&D is a Korea-based ODM for interactive education
tools and commercial multimedia applications, including interactive
whiteboards which display video using a large screen, enabling a user to
annotate and manipulate presentations in real time using touch screen
technology.
According to a new report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc., global sales of interactive whiteboards are
expected to reach US $1.85 Billion by 2018. The source devices for
interactive whiteboards are expected to increasingly feature both HDMI®
and DisplayPort™ connectivity. TranSwitch’s HDplay transceivers are
optimized to support these trends by combining both HDMI and DisplayPort
standards, as well as utilizing the Company's patented AnyCable™
technology to maintain high definition video performance over long cable
runs.
“Our new interactive display whiteboards are powerful tools with broad
applications for education, business meetings, training, and other
collaborative environments,” said Maeng Sungyeol, chief technical
officer at Edge I&D. “Working with TranSwitch, we are able to deliver
flexible solutions that enable users to easily and reliably connect a
variety of source devices while providing high definition video quality,
robust interactive tools, and a simple user interface.”
“Our integrated HDplay solution provided the optimal high-speed video
interconnect for Edge I&D’s interactive display requirements, while
supporting HDMI and DisplayPort to provide unparalleled video
connectivity flexibility in a single IC,” said Tim Blanke, vice
president of worldwide sales and marketing at TranSwitch. “We see
increasing adoption of our HDplay product family across a variety of
applications driven by performance requirements and the growing
emergence of source devices supporting new video connectivity standards.
We are excited to be working closely with Edge I&D to enable these
next-generation interactive displays which are targeted for production
ramp by the end of March 2013.”
TranSwitch’s HDplay transceivers are the industry’s only solutions that
combine both HDMI and DisplayPort on a single integrated circuit. This
level of integration enables manufacturers to reduce space requirements,
design complexity, and overall cost, while speeding time-to-market.
HDplay transceivers also incorporate TranSwitch’s patented AnyCable
technology, which enables the use of long, less expensive HDMI cables
with less shielding. Displays and devices that use HDplay provide the
end-user with greater flexibility when selecting multimedia devices,
peripherals, and cables.
