YOKOHAMA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Macnica Group (TOKYO:7631), a leading global technical distributor for semiconductor and networking products, today announced release of its Mpression MIPI LCD Card. The card with a low power, high resolution TFT LCD connects with Altera® FPGA based development boards through HSMC* connectors. Macnica is starting to ship the card from August 2014.
Macnica’s Mpression MIPI LCD Card is a daughter card to evaluate FPGA designs using a display. Using this card, a designer can evaluate FPGA designs using high resolution LCD for various embedded applications very easily.
The high resolution LCD from Ortus Technology features both the exceptional image quality and low power consumption users expect from today’s advanced LCDs. These features are beneficial for applications requiring both low power and high image quality such as business handheld terminals, broadcasting/video equipment, medical equipment, and surveillance systems.
The MIPI LCD Card is capable of accepting outside video and image stream
from DVI port and converting the data to V-by-One HS to hand the data to
the FPGA on the base board through the HSMC connector. After the data is
processed in the FPGA using Northwest Logic’s MIPI DSI IP, it is output
to the HSMC connector, then to the TFT LCD via Meticom’s MIPI D-PHY DSI
transmitter IC.

The Mpression MIPI LCD Card is sold through Macnica’s worldwide network with Altera franchises in Japan, North America, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, ASEAN countries and India.
