Three Chrontel Video Interface Chips Optimized for
Intel-based Ultra Mobile PCs and Mobile Internet Devices

Video Interface Chips Link New Mobile Products to External TV and Computer Displays

Computex Taipei, Taiwan (7 June, 2007) Chrontel, Inc., (www.chrontel.com), a leading provider of video interface technologies, today announced that three Chrontel video interface ICs have been optimized for Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) based on Intel low power technologies. UMPCs and MIDs are truly ultra-mobile platforms that allow users to communicate, entertain, access information, and be productive on-the-go.

Chrontel provides a wide variety of design options for the SDVO interface in UMPC and MID platforms, including three Chrontel interface ICs: the CH7315 HDMI transmitter, the CH7021 SDTV/HDTV Encoder and the CH7317 RGB Encoder. The CH7315 is used to transmit uncompressed, copy-protected video and audio data over a secure link from a UMPC/MID platform to HDTVs, DVD recorders and A/V receivers. The CH7021 is used to provide a TV-out function that drives external NTSC, PAL or high-definition television display. The CH7317 RGB encoder is used to drive an external VGA computer display.

"UMPCs and MIDs are a fast growing segment in the industry today”, said Dr. David Soo, Chrontel President and CEO. "We are pleased to deliver video interface solutions that provide external display options for this innovative platform.”

The CH7315, CH7021 and CH7317 are part of a family of SDVO-compliant devices that Chrontel began releasing in 2004. The three Chrontel ICs, designed with Intel’s proprietary SDVO high-speed serial data interface, have been adopted by many major PC manufactures in the world. Chrontel offers the most complete line of SDVO-compliant video interface devices, including LVDS, DVI, HDCP, HDMI, and standard and high-definition TV transmitters.

“Chrontel has a history of delivering proven video interface designs in the computing industry,” said Kelley Johnson, Marketing Manager at Intel Corporation. “Intel’s energy efficient processors and chipsets, combined with Chrontel’s solutions, make it easier for the customer to offer a range of video interface options.” Intel's latest PCI Express chipsets -- the Intel® 915G, 915GV and 910GL Express Chipsets -- include an IGD (integrated graphic device) that delivers cost-competitive 3D, 2D and video capabilities. These IGD chipsets use Intel's new SDVO specification to drive external displays with a high-speed serial data interface. Laptop and LCD-PC manufacturers that design new PCs using these PCI Express chipsets will need to design-in LVDS transmitters that comply with the new SDVO interface.
