Smart interface technology for large data transmission

Achieving high-speed data transmission

Enabling to reduce cables for data transmission→ lower costs, wider designing options for thinner or smaller products→ better noise tolerance with reducing designing periods and costs→ less fuel consumption if used for automotive application

Achieving superior signal integrity→ allowing transmission with longer distance and easy to adopt

de facto standard by V-by-One® HS and 10bit LVDS→ willingly spreading V-by-One® US for de facto standard in 8K TVs

High-speed image signal processing technology for high resolution pixel data with high quality

Achieving high-speed by dedicated hardware engine→ 3A functions, image stabilizer, HDR, and RGB-IR are available

No need of frame memories and outside software→ smaller package, lower cost and lower power consumption
