INTRODUCTION

http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/application/gvif/product/white/index2-1.html

For designers of infotainment systems, several trends are causing a re-evaluation of how to distribute video from a source to a sink within the automobile. The most important trend is the increasing sophistication of the consuming public. Customers are expecting levels of performance and convenience similar to what they have become accustomed to with entertainment systems found in the home. With the heavy worldwide promotion of HDTV during the past two years, the public is becoming much more sensitive to video picture quality and more knowledgeable about issues relating to content protection. For example, consumers are coming to understand that an all digital video interface supporting content protection, such as HDMI, is a necessary feature for home video electronics. Another important trend is the increasing demand for infotainment system displays that are capable of supporting multiple functions sequentially and sometimes simultaneously: navigation data display, TV/motion picture display, rear camera viewing, touch screen controls, etc. Some of these use cases will require that the video streams must be mixed together, while at the same time maintaining a high quality user experience at a competitive price. This can be a problem when mixing analog and digital video streams.

MOST Network

MOST (Media Oriented System Transport) is a multimedia network development which was initiated in 1998 by the MOST Cooperation, a consortium of carmakers and component suppliers. MOST is a fiber-optic point-to-point network that is implemented in a ring, star, or daisy chain topology over plastic optical fibers (POF) at a data rate of 25 and 50 Mbps, and is based on synchronous communication. This supports end-user applications like radios, global positioning system (GPS) navigation, video displays, and entertainment systems. MOST's POF physical layer provides a much better resilience to EMI and potentially higher transmission rates than classical copper wires. BMW and DaimlerChrysler are two car manufacturers who have production models that employ a MOST network.

The CXB1457R/1458R is a chipset using GVIF (Gigabit Video Interface) technology. The GVIF chipset enables high speed transmission of uncompressed digital video over a single twisted pair cable in motor vehicle applications. The CXB1457R is the transmitter. The CXB1458R is the receiver.

SILICON TUNER IC FOR ANALOG AND TERRESTRIAL DIGITAL TV BROADCAST

CXA3746ER    

http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/cx_news/vol52/np_cxa3746er.html

 

Due to the recent appearance of OLED TVs and ultrathin LCD TVs, even further miniaturization in the tuner module, one of the most important functional components, is strongly desired.
Furthermore, increasingly diverse functionality, such as recording functions and multiple image display and products that include multiple tuners are additional reasons that miniaturization of the tuner module is strongly desired.
To respond to these needs, Sony has now developed the CXA3746ER, which achieves both reduced image noise, which is critical for analog broadcast reception, and excellent interference rejection, which are important for terrestrial digital broadcast reception.
