Computex: Pixelworks Debuts Mobile Video Post-Processing IC

SAN FRANCISCO — As mobile devices have become the video-watching "first screen," for more consumers, the gadgets have revealed a glaring weakness: They can't reliably display HD content on their high-resolution screens without video artifacts.

Large-screen living-room HDTVs are equipped with a video post-processing IC designed to enhance images, but mobile devices come with no such processing pipelines today. They frequently produce images with motion blur and judder.

Pixelworksis the first chip vendor to address this issue. It has developed a small, hardwired mobile video display processor that sits between a mobile SoC and the mobile device's panel. The co-processor uses MIPI for input and small eDP for output.
