SMI “Displays” Their SoC Technology with SM770 Chipset
SMI ( Silicon Motion Inc. ) has introduced a new chip which allows for multiple 4K displays to be connected to a single host computer. The SM770 chip is, what SMI calls, a high performance USB Display interface or “SoC”.
Get three concurrent 4K UHD displays running without latency issues from a single host computer source. The new SMI chip features a user-friendly InstantView software application to configure the multi collection of displays. The free software tool effortlessly configures host content for any display without the need for a display driver which is really nice to avoid future driver update issues we are all so keen on trying to avoid.
The SM770’s features include:
- Support Triple 4K (3840 x 2160) @60Hz, support up to 144Hz display
- The 2nd generation CAT technology delivers codec with reduced latency
- USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps)
- Support displays over USB, Ethernet or Wireless
- OS compatibility: Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS
USB docking stations are now a must-have for many professionals who need to use more than one screen. The new SM770 is made to make using multiple screens much better by reducing delay and improving system efficiency. This new technology helps create high-quality USB docking stations and display adapters which meet the high demands of today’s work environment.
Current the chips are available for samples, but we have yet to see the chip integrated into an end-user product. SMI… if you know of a product ready to buy, do send us an email.
