Ruby Tuesday
The latest addition to Fujitsu‘s graphics controllers range is the MB86298 Ruby, unveiled on Tuesday at Embedded World 2009.
It is an integrated high end graphics processing unit specified for OpenGL ES2.0 and targeted for embedded automotive and industrial display systems.
The feature set and performance of the MB86298 targets in car applications such as dashboard systems, head up displays and navigation systems. Designed in 90nm, it can provide 3d rendering functions, incorporating a programmable unified shader architecture to align with the OpenGL ES2.0 standard for operations on vertices and fragments. The integrated video capture module interfaces to four parallel external devices providing ITU-R BT 601/656, DRGB 888 (up to 1280 pixel horizontal resolution) and SMTPE 296m format data. Frame rate conversion, colour conversion, up scaling, down scaling and adaptive deinterlacing functions are also supplied by the capture module.
