Socionext, the automotive SoC specialist, is sampling its new display controller SC1702 to meet the growing needs for high-resolution widescreen automotive displays.

In addition, the SC1702 was designed to conform to the latest encryption technology HDCP 2.3, making it possible to effectively utilize rich, 4K-resolution content for multi-displays and other uses in a vehicle. 
Supporting these new technologies, the SC1702 can detect display abnormalities that are unobservable with current technology. In addition to the conventional safety features, displays can now recognize panel link loss, inconsistencies of CRC of pixel data and other behaviors at the source drivers and gate drivers, enhancing the capabilities to meet further safety requirements.
The SC1701BH5-300 is a new addition to the SC1701 lineup providing additional functions to existing meter systems. With the new device, safety features such as multi-window signature unit, picture freeze detection, and watchdog — as well as the 2D rendering capability of Deep Color (30 bpp) built-in graphics engine — are now available at competitive pricing.
