NVIDIA Drives New Digital Display Initiative
Jump to first matched term
Innovative Design Uses Existing AGP Bus and Add-In Card to Provide
Industry's Only Low-Cost Digital Display Connectivity Solution
BOSTON, SID 2002 TRADESHOW, May 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Recognizing the
increasing use of digital displays in both home and corporate environments,
NVIDIA(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today announced a new AGP riser card
technology initiative, called the Digital Display Port (DDP). NVIDIA's DDP
specification provides OEMs, system builders, and motherboard manufacturers
an opportunity to offer end-users an inexpensive way-through the use of a
low-cost AGP add-in card-to connect digital displays, including flat panel
monitors and high-definition televisions to PCs designed with an NVIDIA
integrated graphics solution and an AGP expansion port.
"PCs utilizing integrated graphics solutions, such as NVIDIA's own
nForce(TM) Platform Processors, include an AGP port that often goes unused,"
said Dan Vivoli, vice president of marketing at NVIDIA. "By multiplexing the
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signal on the AGP bus, DDP provides a
low-cost alternative that allows end users to upgrade to the latest in
digital display technology, without having to compromise the high-performing
graphics already integrated directly onto the motherboard."
Although the first DDP-based add-in cards will only work with nForce-based
motherboards and PCs, NVIDIA has designed DDP as an open standard that can
be implemented royalty-free by other PC core-logic designers and
manufacturers. To date, DDP has already received unmitigated support from
many of the industry's leading core-logic, display, and motherboard
manufacturing technology companies, including ABIT, ALI/Acer Labs, ASUSTeK,
Chaintech, Chrontel, Conexant Systems Inc., IDTech, Leadtek, LG/Philips,
MSI, NEC/Mitsubishi, QDI, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony, and Tatung.
"NVIDIA's DDP proposal is attractive on many fronts," said Joe Hsieh, Direct
or of Motherboards at ASUSTeK Computer Inc. "For one, it is fully compatible
with the existing AGP spec, and doesn't require any additional components or
signal routing to our standard motherboard designs. By using the high-speed
AGP bus to send the DVI signals to the digital display, end users can be
assured of the best visual quality possible. ASUSTeK is very excited about
the potential DDP brings to our customers."
"Connecting PCs to different digital displays such as DVI and HDTV will
greatly enhance the capabilities of the PC platform," said David Soo,
President of Chrontel. "This will open new markets and new applications for
the PC industry and will dramatically help increase the proliferation and
the use of digital displays on a global scale."
A DDP draft specification, including pin-out information, is available now
from NVIDIA. Reference cards for testing and evaluation are available
immediately from Chrontel, Conexant and Silicon Image. Samples of DDP add-in
cards are also currently available from ASUSTeK, MSI and Leadtek. DDP cards
supporting either DVI, TV-Out or both will be available later this year for
approximately $20 USD.
