Socionext Develops Next Generation Graphics Controller for
In-Vehicle Remote Display Applications
Display Support for 4K Resolution and High Dynamic Range
Langen/Germany, and Yokohama/Japan, January 25, 2018 --- Socionext Inc., a leader instate-of-the art system-on-chip technology, has developed the “SC1701” series, the third
generation of its high-performance graphics display controllers. In addition to further
strengthening the graphics function enabling 4K resolution and deep color processing forstate-of-the art in-vehicle display systems, Socionext incorporated APIX®3 technology
supporting increased demand for high speed video and data connectivity up to 12 Gbps.
The SC1701 features further
evolved functions andperformance for in-vehicle
remote display applications,
supporting up to one U-HD(4K) or two F-HD (2K)
displays at 30bpp. The
controller is capable ofdriving up to two TCON-lessdisplays by its integrated
TCON function. To support
that, the device is capable of

streams over a single link. Its
future-proof design supports through its video link up to 9.6 Gbps uncompressed or up to 28
Gbps compressed video by utilizing the VESA DSC compression method. The built-in HDCP
decryption technology enables video content protection allowing high-value content for aricher user experience.
The built-in Socionext SEERIS® graphics processor provides 2D rendering with deep color(30bpp) support through its entire pipeline. In addition, it provides extended flexibility by its
capture port through a MIPI-DSI2 or OpenLDI input interface.

The featured MII/Ethernet interface allows bidirectional communication to utilize most of thecapabilities provided by the APIX3 protocol. This allows video or auxiliary data originating froman Ethernet camera or a touch controller connected directly to the SC1701 to be streamed
back to the central or head unit.
Socionext paid special attention to implementing latest automotive safety functions which arenecessary to meet the industryʼs integrity requirements. The SC1701 Display Controller stands
out through its diagnostic capabilities, the built-in multi window signature unit, its picture
freeze detection feature and the multi-level CRC checks. In addition, it provides protection
against illegal access, therefore, enhancing the security features and data integrity.
The SC1701 display controller is designed to support high performance domain computing
architecture within the car, one of the most innovative evolutions in automotive systemarchitectures, which enables design flexibility through scalability, increases safety and security,
makes development cycles more efficient, eases the qualification processes and provides
significant potential for system cost reduction.
Engineering samples will be made available in third quarter 2018.
Socionext is presenting the SC1701 at Embedded World 2018, Hall A3, Booth 119.
