Vativ Announces Industry’s First Three Input, Single Selectable Output HDMI™ Receiver
DSP-based VTV2310 is the latest addition to Vativ’s highperformance HDMI™ product family
SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 21, 2006 – Vativ Technologies, Inc., a world leader in DSPbased
wired communications solutions, today announced the commercial availability of
VTV2310, the latest addition to their family of high performance HDMI™ receiver chips
for Digital TV applications.
In an industry first, Vativ’s VTV2310 device supports three independent HDMI™
inputs, and a selectable single decoded output in a 24-bit digital video format. There is a
growing market need for supporting multiple HDMI™ inputs on a digital TV due to the
ever-increasing number of high-bandwidth digital video sources such as HD-DVD players,
Blu-ray DVD players, HD-DVD recorders, HD set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and HDcamcorders.
VTV2310 is thus ideally suited for viewing content from multiple HDMI™
capable devices and is the most efficient solution for such applications.
The VTV2310 chip includes a state-of-the-art patent-pending DSP-based adaptive
equalizer. This advanced DSP technology provides unsurpassed HDMI™ receiver
performance by recovering TMDS data error-free even at a cable attenuation of 40dB at
800 MHz. This enables the use of HDMI™ cables up to 50 meters in length while
simultaneously lowering the cost of such HDMI™ cables. In addition, VTV2310 greatly
reduces the likelihood of field returns due to cabling problems. Furthermore, Vativ’s device
provides a very flexible digital TV design by allowing the three independent HDMI™
inputs to be located anywhere in the TV set, including the front panel of the TV cabinet.
VTV2310 supports all display modes including 1080p, which enables it to accept
HD content and transfer it to a TV equipped with an HD display, thus providing the highest
quality HD viewing experience. VTV2310 is fully compliant to the HDMI™ 1.2a standard
and incorporates an on chip HDCP decryption engine with factory programmed keys.
The chip consumes a maximum power of 1.5W at the highest pixel rate and is
available in a small 15 x 15 mm BGA package. A kit consisting of an evaluation board and
simple PC based control software is available to enable TV manufacturers to rapidly and
easily integrate VTV2310 into their designs.
Vativ Technologies has received a certificate of compliance from an HDMI™
Authorized Test Center for a LCD TV set incorporating it’s HDMI™ receiver technology.
Pricing and Availability
VTV2310 IC samples and evaluation kits are available now, with volume
production slated for Q3 of 2006. Pricing and additional information on the VTV2310
