The receiver was especially designed to improve the quality of audio-video streaming on an HDTV, by combining 12-bit Deep Color and Extended Gamut to render rich life-like colors, as well as High Bit Rate (HBR) and Direct Stream Transport audio formats. The TDA19978 also reduces the overall cost of an HDTV by embedding EDID memory for each of the four independent HDMI inputs.
With a maximum link frequency of 2.3GHz, NXP's TDA19978 quad-input HDMI1.3 receiver supports all HDTV formats, like the 1080p/60Hz TV and the UXGA (1600x1200) at 60Hz PC display resolutions. The TDA19978 comes in a small, low pin count HLQFP144 package with three levels of power management for optimum power saving, as well as optional software drivers.
"The TDA19978 HDMI1.3 receiver demonstrates NXP's commitment to make a high-quality viewing experience more affordable and easily integrated across high-end TV sets," said Guy Ducos, VP & General Manager TV Front End & Media Interfaces NXP Semiconductors. "Building on NXP's heritage in TV systems, the new HDMI receiver enables our customers to offer more functionality and HD quality in a smaller package with reduced bill-of-materials, feeding into the growing demand for HDTV."
