Introduction

The Athena SoCs greatly simplify the design for WQXGA monitors, 120 Hz FHD monitors,

and WUXGA multifunctional monitors with their unique integration of video inputs/outputs,

video processors, advanced video quality enhancement engines, DDR2 and DDR3

controllers, usability features such as PIP video window detection, and cost-effective

firmware update technology. In addition, the Athena ICs allow design of 4K x 2K monitors

using multiple devices.

Their rich feature sets, high level of integration, improved scaling and video processing, and

color management technologies (e.g. 6-axis color control and RGB uniformity

compensation) make STDP93x0, STDP9210, and STDP73x0 the ideal answers for high-

quality, integrated multimedia monitor solutions.

A new feature—Video Window Detection— automatically detects video content on selected

PC DVI, HDMI, or DP input and frames the content in a window to enable selective video

processing such as Adaptive Contrast Control 3 (ACC3) and Active Color Management-3D

(ACM-3D), enhancer, and sharpness. This enables viewers to enjoy watching Web-based

multimedia content with image enhancement applied inside the detected active video

window.

The new technology, EZ-Display UP, provides the ability to upgrade to the latest firmware

through the existing DisplayPort or HDMI interfaces on the monitor scaler. This new feature

enables faster and easier firmware upgrades than the traditional method—without the need

to open the monitor cabinet.

The Athena SoCs offer DisplayPort (DP) 1.2 interface for receiver and transmitter

applications. The integrated receiver and transmitter support an open industry “DisplayPort

Standard” AV interface introduced by VESA. This new interface standard offers high

bandwidth AV signal transmission over fewer lines for interconnects within multimedia

monitor applications. The DisplayPort standard includes an optional HDCP 1.3 content

protection scheme for secured audio-visual data transmission between sources and sink

devices.
