Converter boosts conventional frame rate signals to 120-Hz By Ismini Scouras September 11, 2007
San Jose, Calif.-Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc. (TAEC) has added to its digital TV (DTV) semiconductor line the TC90240XBG, a device that integrates a scan rate converter to upgrade standard 60 Hz signals to 120 Hz.
The TC90240XBG is designed to improve the blurry motion sometimes seen during fast-paced action scenes in high-definition content. LCD TV OEMs can easily integrate the TC90240XBG into existing 60 Hz panel designs to quickly bring 120 Hz-capable LCD TVs to market.
The TC90240XBG uses LVDS connectivity to take the 60 Hz video signal from an LCD TV’s MPEG decoder. Using a combination of motion estimation and motion compensation, the TC90240XBG builds the additional frames needed to drive an LCD panel at a 120 Hz refresh rate.
Pricing: Samples cost $30._Availability: Samples are available now and the device is in full production.
