DTV

Content providers are finding new ways to differentiate themselves, such as by developing 4K HDR GUIs. DTV/STB GPUs must now support these features while also acknowledging the market’s cost sensitivity. IMG CXM can help make this a reality because it is the smallest GPU on the market that supports HDR.

Wearables

When an entire device fits on a wrist, size is the overwhelming design consideration. Wearable GPUs are the most power- and area-efficient on the market while still delivering a user interface that responds smoothly. IMG CXM has enhanced bandwidth management, enabling an improved user experience in the smallest possible space.

Cinematic user interfaces

Content providers are becoming more ambitious and now want to align the look and feel of their application’s user interface with their cinematic content by integrating advanced features such as 4K and HDR. IMG CXM is enabling this step change with its native support for HDR while being the smallest GPU to do so, thus enabling device manufacturers to keep costs low while delivering seamless visuals.

Smoother images

IMG CXM GPUs now support 10-bit RGBA and YUV, which deliver an HDR graphical user interface, supplying images with less visible banding. More bits per pixel equates to higher quality and a more attractive UI. This enhanced feature aligns SoC and device vendors with the platform and content providers to deliver a better end-user experience.

Advanced bandwidth management

TFBCv2 is the new state-of-the-art compression technology based on Imagination’s Tiny Frame Buffer Compression. It delivers higher-quality lossy and lossless compression and brings an additional compression level (37.5%), allowing for flexibility in design. This enables the device vendors to deliver an improved user experience at a lower cost.
