14 DAY TRIAL // Mixel decided it was high time the world knew that it was its invention that enabled Toshiba's Qosmio laptops to deliver high-quality, wide-angle 3D playback without need for glasses.
Toshiba Qosmio F750 is one example of a top-tier notebook that gets a medal for actual 3D playback without glasses.
Through a combination of face tracking and the Mixel Serializer and De-Serializer (SerDes) Technology, the laptop actually renders auto-stereoscopic 3D on the 15.6-inch display.
“By combining Mixel's differentiated SerDes technology, SuperD was able to deploy its ground breaking 3D technology to end customers with such an innovative product solution in record time,” said Silent Liu, SuperD’s VP of Engineering.
“Mixel provided us with prompt and exceptional support through all phases of the project, from pre-sale, integration, pre-silicon verification, silicon evaluation, and finally through transfer to production,” he added.
Mixel's solution comprises the MXL-SR-LVDS-4CH Serializer and MXL-DS-LVDS-4CH De-Serializer IP.
The Mixel LVDS SerDes is a 4-channel IP with up to 1.25 Gbps/channel and, thus, a 5Gbps aggregate bandwidth for low-power applications.
SuperD's glasses-free 3D image processing chip is the first such application to score a design win.
“This is a perfect example of the outstanding results that the supply chain can achieve when best-in-class partners combine their core competencies to deploy a truly innovative technology, commercialize it in record time, and achieve first time technical and commercial success,” said Ashraf Takla, Mixel President and CEO.
“Mixel’s leadership in mobile PHY such as LVDS and MIPI provide our customers with a one stop shop for all related IP, which our customers use to rapidly deploy their products and capture a piece of the exploding mobile market.”
The SerDes IP will be demonstrated by Mixel at DesignCon 2012, an event that will take place From January 31 to February 1, at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
