Infotainment companion chip supports 4K multimedia

Supporting hi-res multimedia connectivity and camera devices with ethernet AVB standard, Toshiba has introduced the TC358791XBG automotive companion chip. The AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified chip, features differential CVBS interfaces for analogue composite video sources, support for early back-up camera view (CVBS to LVDS) and the ability to relay packetised IQ audio tuner data to the host via USB.

Reducing time-to-market and overall system BOM costs, Toshiba’s TC358791XBG suits applications such as front/rear/surround-view cameras, digital audio and transferring hi-res video content to head-unit and rear-seat entertainment systems.

As a result of versatile connectivity options for both audio and video, including USB 3.0, MIPI CSI2 and DSI, the chip seamlessly supports and interfaces with many cutting-edge automotive application processors on the market. The TC358791XBG provides the capability to split one video input into two pictures and simultaneously drive two hi-res LVDS digital displays. Hi-res audio and video data can also be sent from the host processor to multiple displays or other ECUs in the car, and an HDMI 1.4 receiver interface allows smartphones and other HDMI-enabled devices to be connected to the application processor.

Supplied in a 15x15mm FBGA257 package with 0.8mm ball pitch, samples of the TC358791XBG automotive infotainment chipset are available now.

Rio de Janeiro announcement from The City of Rio de Janeiro and X, The Moonshot Factory, Taara announced a trailblasing new partnership to deploy the world’s first mesh network of high-speed wireless optical links to deliver fast, abundant and secure connectivity to schools, hospitals and city offices in Rio. Our goal is to bridge connectivity gaps across the city and provide fast, affordable connectivity to critical services like schools, hospitals, government centres, and in disaster response situations. In the same way traditional fibre uses light to carry data through cables in the ground, Taara uses narrow, invisible beams of light to transmit information at speeds as high as 20 gigabits per second, up to distances of 20 kilometres per link. Taara connects into existing fibre networks and bridges the gap where fibre and other technologies can’t reach. Instead of waiting months or years to dig up the earth and lay new fibre cables, Taara’s links can be established within hours. In Rio de Janeiro, Taara will install 20+ links to deliver service to communities where connectivity is spotty or unreliable. The links will create an invisible mesh network over parts of the city that will serve as a single responsive system – connecting community institutions like schools and hospitals and helping facilitate emergency response. A new approach for urban connectivity in Rio Although Brazil ranks among the world’s five largest internet economies, connectivity remains spotty – more than half of the population uses smartphones to get online, and existing cellular infrastructure varies by community. In Rio, some of the most stubborn, hard-to-connect areas are also the city’s most populated. Built of brick, concrete, and steel rooftops through a labyrinthine tangle of narrow streets and uneven terrain, it’s nearly impossible to connect these communities via traditional broadband fibre. Taara’s links, which can be mounted flexibly on rooftops, towers, and poles, are well suited to these challenging terrains and combine the reliability and speed of fibre infrastructure with the flexibility of wireless technologies. To date, Taara has successfully delivered reliable, abundant internet to people in more than 20 countries. This includes providing access in dense urban communities in India and Africa, delivering fast affordable connectivity to island nations in the Pacific and the Caribbean after natural disasters, and beaming connectivity over rivers, sea straits, and other places where laying fibre is too impractical or costly. Taara is honoured to be supporting Rio’s AI City vision and its mission to transform the region into a global innovation hub. We hope Taara’s first mesh network in Rio can serve as a blueprint for urban connectivity and inspire a more connected, intelligent, and inclusive world.
