TranSwitch (News - Alert) Corporation, a provider of semiconductor solutions in the rapidly growing consumer electronics and telecommunications markets, recently announced that Tecnoroll, a developer of digital hardware and software solutions for enterprise and consumer markets, selected its HDplay transceiver for several video encoder solutions, including complete modules embedded in systems sold by major OEMs.

TranSwitch’s new HDplay transceivers provide a single, tri-mode input port supporting HDMI 1.4b, DisplayPort 1.2, and MHL 2.0. The TXC-44151 has been optimized for DTVs, projectors, pico projectors, and converters by providing a single HDMI 1.4b output supporting resolutions up to 4K x 2K. The TXC-44155 has been optimized for pico projectors by featuring a flexible 24b LVTTL parallel output. With HDplay powering a video switch or distribution amplifier, end-users are able to conveniently connect a wide range of multimedia devices. HDplay also utilizes TranSwitch’s patented AnyCable technology, enabling the user to confidently select long and inexpensive cables, while maintaining HDMI 1.4 performance.

“Tecnoroll continues to set the standard for video encoder products for a variety of markets and applications,” said Lorenzo Bolla, president at Tecnoroll. TranSwitch’s HDplay transceivers provide a level of functionality and connectivity options that are very difficult to achieve through alternative solutions or with a discrete design without sacrificing performance, cost, or size. This level of performance and versatility complements the overall feature set of our video encoder and compression engines helping us differentiate our products and address growing trends across a variety of markets.”

 “We are very pleased to have been selected by Tecnoroll for several video encoder modules,” said Tim Blanke, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at TranSwitch. “TranSwitch’s HDplay transceivers provide Tecnoroll with a compact single-chip solution that reduces design complexity to speed time-to-market while enabling source device flexibility with HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity. Working with Tecnoroll provides an additional channel for adoption of our HDplay solutions into a variety of end markets and OEMs through the incorporation of our products as the video connectivity front-end for their video encoder modules.”
