SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Socionext Inc., a provider of integrated automotive SoC solutions, has introduced its new display controller SC1702 to meet the growing needs for high-resolution widescreen automotive displays. In addition to the existing SC1701 series, Socionext provides low-cost, optimal safety functions for meter clusters. This lineup of «smart» display controllers delivers scalable in-vehicle remote display systems that achieve high levels of safety.

The new SC1702 is capable of transferring data at rates of up to 12 Gbps using the latest APIX^®3 technology. It is equipped with a newly developed Panel Interface Port (PIP) that supports the most advanced, high-resolution wide landscape format display such as 8K x 1K, which cannot be supported with conventional interfaces. 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.

The use of automotive displays is rapidly expanding- in instrumentation and vehicle control operations including meters, climate controls and other dashboard indicators integrated into graphics. Additionally, Head-up displays (HUD) and e-Mirror displays are being added to many vehicles, resulting in a broader set of display requirements and options. These range from conventional small displays to larger-format, widescreens with some spanning across the entire dashboard.

Supporting these new technologies, the SC1702 can detect display abnormalities that were previously unobservable using current technology. In addition to conventional safety features, displays can recognize panel link loss, inconsistencies of CRC of pixel data and other behaviors at the source drivers and gate drivers, enhancing capabilities to meet further safety requirements.

New SC1701 Lineup Delivers Added Capabilities
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 2D rendering capability of Deep Color (30 bpp) built-in graphics engine — are now available at competitive prices.

SC1701 / 1702 Series Main Lineup and Specifications

Samples of the SC1701BH5-300 are now available. Sample shipment of the SC1702AK3 will start in February 2021.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Xavier Sanchez has already exceeded so many expectations in his 21 years of life. Diagnosed with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency and Bilateral Fibular Hemimelia (a birth defect in which some limbs such as the femur, fibula, and others are shorter or missing), Xavier has had to rely on his family and friends to take care of him most of his life. Despite these challenges, he is in his final year at UTSA where he is pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Cyber security; a feat made more impressive by the fact that he must travel 2 hours each way by bus to reach school. What Xavier, like every young man his age wants most though is to be able to drive, and the independence that affords. Having been told that he’d need $100K at a minimum for the vehicle and modifications necessary to make that a reality, Xavier had all but given up hope for the time being until a chance meeting turned his dream into reality. Cameron Davies, CEO of the world’s largest mobile asset manufacturer, Cruising Kitchens, was so taken with not only Xavier’s story, but his surprisingly positive attitude, that he assembled his incredible design and fabricating team to customize a van for Xavier that any young man would be proud to drive and donated the whole thing to him. Xavier also landed a job within Cameron’s Print It business giving him financial independence to go along with his mobility.

The normal tasks like going to the grocery store or a friend’s house that most people take for granted, are some of the things Xavier is looking forward to the most. «I think for most people they’ll think oh it’s just a car right, but it’s much more than that. It’s like freedom, it’s opportunities, it’s experiences that I haven’t experienced yet, but with this new vehicle I’ll be able to do so. Most importantly, I’m going to be able to take my wheelchair, because my wheelchair is like an extension of myself. It’s like my legs for me,» Xavier emphasizes. «I was tired of hearing the stories of him being told no, so I knew that we had to jump in the action, and step up in a big way,» Cameron stated. He added, «I say every Monday that attitudes are contagious, and he has the best that I’ve ever seen. During the process of working with him on the van design, I fell in love with him as a person and that is why I decided to give him the job.»

Behind every great man is a great woman and Xavier’s mother Nora has been his biggest supporter from the beginning. «This experience has been amazing to say the least, and it played right into how we have experienced life. When I was pregnant with Xavier I was told he would not live, and he did.» She reveals. «Then it was, he would not walk, and he did, and also that driving was not possible for him, and he is now driving on his own! It is the most incredible feeling to have so many caring strangers be part of my child’s life journey and I am forever grateful…My son deserves this, and I will support him in all of his dreams and adventures!» 

Xavier has his driving test scheduled for the 16^th of this month and he couldn’t be more excited. Until then, he’s happy just to be able to do donuts in the parking lot of his new place of employment. A whole new world is about to open up for this young man and he is ready to take on whatever comes next.
