Today's multimedia systems are rapidly increasing in complexity and not only download, play and store content, but also upload content from users and enable interaction with other users. These systems enable content to be delivered from any personal handheld or portable device for data sharing outside of one's system, to server or to a cloud system.
Toshiba offers a novel approach to multimedia system design with a bridge chip that supports high-speed serial interfaces based on the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI®) and the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standards. By implementing these two standards in a single bridge, it is now possible to connect to mobile products using the MIPI interface to multimedia systems using the HDMI interface. The connection of handheld devices to multimedia devices improves performance and lowers overall power consumption.
The Toshiba Mobile Peripheral Devices portfolio serves this growing multimedia market with new products that enable breakthrough feature sets for today's smart TVs, set-top boxes and DVRs.
Highlighted Product: TC358743 Camera Bridge
The Toshiba TC358743 camera bridge enables a Host Processor with a MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI) to accept HDMI video and audio streams and process them as incoming data source. This bridge converts HDMI streams into data conforming to a CSI packet specification. This enables, for example, a camcorder to connect to a set-top box with a Host Processor that only has MIPI interfaces for receiving and handling incoming video sources.
- Provides HDMI to MIPI CSI connectivity.
- Based on latest versions of industry standards supporting HDMI 1.4 and MIPI CSI-2 1.01.
- Support for 1080P resolution, common 3D formats and compatible protocols with the HDMI 1.4 standard.
