analog devices simplifies portable hd camera desi gn with world?s smallest hdmi transmitter norwood, ma (09/05/2008) - analog devices, inc. (a di) today introduced the adv7521nk, the industry?s smallest, low-power hdmi? v 1.3 (high-definition multimedia interface?) transmitter that enables video delive ry to hd televisions from portable multimedia devices, including digital still and dslr cameras, camcorders, portable media players and cell phones. a new addition to adi?s advantiv ? advanced television soluti ons portfolio, the adv7521nk is the world?s smallest (only 3.5 mm 3.5 mm 0.65 mm) hdmi v 1.3 transmitter with on -chip support for consumer electronic control (cec), which enables a single remote control to run multiple cec-enabled high- definition (hd) devices, elim inating the need for separate remotes for each hd device. the adv7521nk?s small form factor, low power dissipation and cec interface enable designers to speed to market smaller, lighter and more affordable hd-enabled devices that work seamlessly within home ente rtainment systems ? wit h only one cable connection and a single remote control. ?as the world?s smallest an d thinnest single-chip hdmi v1.3 transmitter, the adv7521nk enables high-performance hdmi connectivity in portable consumer electronics where size and weight are of critic al importance,? said bill bucklen, director, advanced television segment, analog devices. ?with low power and on-chip cec support, the adv7521nk also addresses market demand for high-performance transmit ics that reduce system cost and hdmi design complexity, en abling enginee rs to design products with high-end hd functionality acr oss multiple p e and price points.? the low-power transmitter offers full support for hdtv (high-defin ition television) video standards up to 1080p/30f, 1080i/60f, 720p/60f and comp u graphics standards up to xga at 75hz. in addition, the adv7521nk incorporates the industry?s lead ing connectivity standards inc luding hdmi v1 . (supporting x.v.color?), the consumer electronics association?s cea-861-d, and dvi v1.0 (digital video interface). the adv7521nk leverages the advanced core of the previously announced adv7520/adv7520nk. this core provides extremely low standby po w enabling designers to significantly extend battery life in portable multimedia devices where standby mode can account for as mu ch as 90 percent o cycle. adi?s new hdmi v 1.3 transm itter helps reduce system cost by in corporating features su ch as i2c (inter-int egrated circuit) mast er for edid (exten display identification data) reading, a single 1.8-v power supply and 5-v tolerant i/os that support i2c and hpd (hot plug detec t). unlike competi offerings, adv7521nk eliminates the need for external voltage tr anslators and converts i/o signals from 5 v or 3.3 v to 1.8 v, f urther reducing de at half the size of competing devices, t he adv7521nk low-power hdmi transmitter delivers hd connectivity and longer battery lif e for handheld multimedia electronics. pa g e 1 of 2 analo g devices: analo g devices sim p lifies portable hd camera desi g n with worl d ?s smallest hdmi t r ... 10/1/2008 htt p ://www.analo g .com/en/ p ress-release/9 _ 5 _ 08 _ adi _ sim p lifies _ portable _ hd _ camera _ desi g n _ wi/ p ress.h...
