Image Processing LSIs for Advanced Video Scaling, Warping, and Edge Blending

 

i-Chips is a semiconductor company focused on high performance video processing LSIs used in professional display, broadcast equipment, projectors, and specialized visualization systems. The company’s devices perform critical image processing functions such as scaling, de-interlacing, format conversion, warping, edge blending, and multi-window display composition.

 

 

These capabilities enable designers to build advanced video pipelines for applications such as projection mapping, video walls, broadcast production, medical imaging displays, and industrial visualization systems.

 

The i-Chips portfolio supports resolutions up to 4K and includes multi-input and multi-output processing devices, integrated memory solutions, and dedicated warping and edge blending processors for immersive display environments.

 

Why i-Chips?

  • 4K Video Processing Performance: Devices support high bandwidth video pipelines including 4K60 scaling, multi-stream processing, and advanced video format conversion.
  • Warping and Edge Blending: Dedicated processors enable projection mapping, immersive displays, and multi-projector edge blending for large format visual environments.
  • Integrated Image Processing: Many devices integrate de-interlacing, scaling, PiP, PoP, and video compositing into a single chip to simplify system architecture.
  • Designed for Professional Displays: Optimized for professional AV, broadcast systems, medical displays, industrial HMIs, and simulation platforms.
