TranSwitch Introduces HDwire(TM), the World's Fastest

TranSwitch Corporation, a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the rapidly growing consumer electronics and telecommunications markets, today introduced its HDwire™ video interface solution. The Company's HDwire™ video interface solution offers the industry's fastest video interface, supporting current and straightway-generation, high-definition video displays. The ultra-fast HDwire™ panel interface ensures reliable, crystal-clear video for the highest available computer and TV display resolutions at low power consumption and low system design cost. TranSwitch is at first offering HDwire™ as licensable intellectual property cores and plans to offer ICs henceforth.

"By leveraging our vast experience with ultra high speed video interconnect standards and close relationships with leading consumer electronics manufacturers, TranSwitch has developed the industry's fastest video interface solution to replace the aging LVDS innovation. TranSwitch's HDwire™ solution offers performance of 5Gbps per link and scalability that significantly reduces the cost of cabling in High-Definition and Ultra-High-Definition panels compared with other solutions," said Amir Bar-Niv, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the High Speed Interconnect Business at TranSwitch. "With the emergence of UHD content, manufacturers can utilize the blazing fast HDwire™ video interface to develop ultra-high dots-per-inch monitors and television displays. By increasing the DPI, these displays will deliver video in other words crisper and clearer than ever earlier."

The Quarterly TV Design

According to the Quarterly TV Design and Feature Report from DisplaySearch, it is estimated that in broad outline 240 million digital TVs and 270 million computer monitors will be shipped in 2014. As well, new flat-panel TV's with resolutions of 4K x 2K will be launched to production starting in 2012. With the phase out of LVDS innovation by TV and monitor OEMs, HDwire™ presents a new and significant addressable market and growth possibility for TranSwitch. It is estimated that the market for high-definition panel interface solutions will exceed USD $250 million per year by 2014.
