SII861

The SiI 861 PanelLink Controller Continuing our tradition of providing the world’s most advanced and highest performance monitor controller solutions, Silicon Image presents the SiI 861 PanelLink® Monitor Controller. The SiI 861 is a single-chip solution that provides all the functionality required for high-end, pure digital flat panel monitors with resolutions up to SXGA+(1400X1050). The SiI 861 offers technological advances and features designed to simplify any flat panel monitor design. And since PanelLink is the most widely adopted DVI implementation with over 10 million PanelLink products shipped to-date, compatibility to all DVI hosts is guaranteed. Incorporating Silicon Image’s production proven PanelLink digital receiver, the SiI 861 also accepts digital entertainment video that has been encrypted and protected using High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), an extension of the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) and supported by Motion Picture Association (MPA) member companies. The SiI 861’s integrated Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) transmitter is compatible with all single-channel LVDS panels further reducing total system costs. Additionally the SiI 861’s new improved PixelPrecision™ image processing provides the best scaling and color management available on the market today. As a single-chip solution, the SiI 861 lowers overall cost, increases reliability, requires less board space, and facilitates easier design and layout. The SiI 861 enables monitor designers to deliver the highest quality, DVI-compliant monitors at costs attractive for mass-market adoption.
