This new device is intended to simplify connectivity for multiple 4K Ultra-High Definition Displays, providing both low latency and low power consumption.
The SM770 is a high-performance USB Display interface SoC that supports up to three concurrent 4K UHD (3840x2160@60p) displays and leverages Silicon Motion's CAT (Content Adaptive Technology), employing multiple image and video processing algorithms to compress display data and minimise bandwidth usage to deliver ultra-low latency from the computer to the monitors.
According to Silicon Morion, by transferring most of the compression work to a hardware accelerator, CAT technology operates more efficiently and reduces the CPU load.
The SM770 features user-friendly InstantView software that can be used to configure host content for any display without the need for a display driver. Additionally, the SM770 is also compatible with all major platforms, including the Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux operating systems. It also includes extensions for Android, ChromeOS, and most other display brands on the market.
"USB docking stations have become essential peripherals for many professionals who now require multiple displays," said Alex Chou, Senior VP of Enterprise Storage & Display Interface Solution Business. "Our SM770 is designed to significantly enhance multi-screen display performance by minimising latency and optimising overall system efficiency. This advancement enables the creation of high-value USB display docking stations and display adapters that meet the demanding needs of today's professional environments."
The SM770's features include:
- Support Triple 4K (3840 x 2160) @60Hz or 2K@144Hz
- The 2nd generation CAT technology delivers codec with reduced latency.
- USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps)
- Support displays over PCI-E, USB, Ethernet or Wireless
- OS compatibility: Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS
The SM770 is available for customer sampling.
