Transform the Way
of Data Transmission
The displays of mobile and consumer electronics devices have undergone a remarkable transformation in just a few years. We have gone from SD (480i) resolution to HD (1080p) then 4K and 8K and the resolution of each RGB pixel has also increased from 8 bits to 12 bits. The number of pixels which need to be transported has increased almost 300 times. An 8K display operating at 60 Hz and 12-bit colour needs a bandwidth of around 72 Gbps in order to transport all the pixels.
Having extremely high resolution displays and image sensors creates a new set of challenges for system designers.
