-Domain Computing – Next Generation Automotive Architecture
Domain computing introduces high performance controllers to orchestrate car applications more
efficiently, leaving the complex and costly distributed architecture behind. High integrated devices
such as Socionext’s display controllers and graphics computing SoCs offer greater flexibility andefficiency in the development phase and in the field, at the same time reducing system cost.

-Automotive Display Solutions – A Complete Safety Concept
The next generation of display controllers for remote display applications in the car will be
introduced. Three essential components have been integrated to produce a complete safetyconcept: high speed serial video links up to 12Gbps, window-based signature units and up to two
timing controllers for panel connectivity. An intelligent interlocking and coordinated integration of
all functions, the SC1701 family offers unparalleled flexibility and cost saving for any in-vehicle
display application.

-In-Vehicle Graphics Computing – An Integrated HMI Solution
Where there is a need to compute camera data and present it on a display in order to assist thedriver, Socionext has a solution with its specialized SoC and software package. Surround view orrear view paired with demanding cluster applications can be realized with the SC1810 series,
utilizing integrated vision and graphics processing units. OpenVX and OpenGL interfaces provide
flexibility for custom applications.

-Latest Camera Reference Design Kit – Enabling Rapid Development
The ‘SC2000 Smart-Kit’ is a new camera reference design-kit enabling rapid development ofmobile cameras up to 4K@60fps. Powered by Milbeaut® technology the reference kit includes
recording and/or streaming through UVC and RTP and optimization for action, wearable, flyingcameras, IoT and digital still cameras (DSCs). Included in the Kit is an SDK which enables easycode development together with reference camera hardware (4 stacked boards: a sensor board
with IMX477, a processor board, IO and debug board) and all documentation, schematics andGerber files.

SESA (Hall B4, Booth 354)
-Holistic HMI approach
SESA will be presenting the latest novelties in the fields of automotive HMI design and embedded
software. One of the highlights will be a completely new designed holistic HMI approach. Thisautomotive HMI has been created with CGI Studio and is based on Android/Linux. It will show,
how multiple displays are perfectly interacting and communicating with each other. This ispossible due to SESA’s powerful messaging and data binding tool, Courier Interaction Framework,
for smooth interaction between the HMI application and external data sources. Based on modern
hypervisor technology this holistic HMI approach will combine both seamless communication andmaximum user experience.

-AR Head-up-Displays
We believe that it is time to bring the driver’s attention back to where it belongs: onto the road.
We see the upcoming trend of augmented reality and HuD becoming a standard feature of themodern car. With built-in warping and low latency rendering of the powerful embedded Candera
Render Engine, CGI Studio is the perfect solution for developing dynamic applications like
AR-HuDs. By projecting the main information into the line of sight, driver distraction is reduced
tremendously.

-Presentation at the Exhibitor’s ForumOn Wednesday 14th, at 10:30 am, SESA will also be available at Electronica’s Automotive Forum
located in Hall B4 discussing holistic HMIs and current trends in development and usage ofautomotive HMI tools.
