YGV630-BZ

■ Overview

· YGV638 (hereinafter called “VC2”) is a pattern graphic controller with an on-chip VRAM and the ample drawing performance enables high-resolution animated GUIs on WVGA display panels.

· VC2’s multiple video ports allow direct handling of video signals from various sources: DVD players, car navigation systems, rear view cameras, etc. In addition, VC2 is capable of superimposing characters, lines, and even graphic icons or menu screens (hereinafter called “sprite”) onto these videos.

· With conventional graphic controllers, complicated display control programs need to be developed. With VC2, Sprites can be used to simplify the programs as all the controls of a Sprite is available in its 12-byte attribute: position, scaling factor, transparency, color gradation, etc.

· VC2 integrates image de-compression engine (Yamaha proprietary algorithm) to dynamically decompress the Sprite data stored in its external memory (Flash ROM etc.) achieving substantial memory capacity savings. VC2, with the features above, allows display systems for in-vehicle AV equipments, audio equipments with display to be built with low-cost components.
