Video filter driver ICs track market trends

摘要

Four major trends describe today's video filter driver market: 1) higher definition, 2) mobile video, 3) green requirements, and 4) a rethink of video output schemes. These trends are having an impact on the video output circuit configurations of set top boxes, DVD and BluRay players/recorders, televisions, Personal Media Players, cameras, and cell phones. With advances in digital video, an increasing number of video signals are now being routed using HDMI technology, but because of the notion of backwards compatibility, analog video signals still represent the lions' share of inter-equipment video signaling. Therefore, supporting analog signals remains a significant concern for video equipment makers.
