TPCAST Partners with Lattice Semiconductor to Deliver an Immersive Wireless VR Experience
TPCAST 2.0 Integrates Lattice’s Wireless VR Video Chipset Allowing Consumers to Cut the Cord for an Untethered VR Experience
-
TPCAST and Lattice join in a collaborative partnership to deliver a
wireless VR solution with WirelessHD® technology from Lattice’s
SiBEAM®
Technology Group as well as Lattice’s FPGA and ASSP products - TPCAST 2.0 wireless protocol supports displays up to 4K resolution at 120Hz and simultaneous feedback control
- TPCAST’s wireless VR upgrade kit for the HTC Vive takes full advantage of Lattice’s WirelessHD video solution, which offers artifact-free video, ultra-low latency and robust tracking at 2160 x 1200 resolution at 90Hz
TPCAST’s protocol supports wireless transmission of HD display and feedback control for smart devices and computers. TPCAST’s newly released TPCAST 2.0 protocol supports up to 4K resolution at 120Hz, enabling an immersive wireless VR experience with near-zero latency transmission for both the display and controllers.
The TPCAST wireless upgrade kit includes Lattice’s MOD6320-T/MOD6321-R WirelessHD modules offering near-zero latency and robust non-line of sight (NLOS) performance ideal for VR applications. TPCAST’s solution also features Lattice’s SiI9396 600 MHz HDMI® bridge IC, LatticeECP3 SERDES-based FPGA, and TPCAST 2.0 protocol and algorithm. Together, this robust solution supports wireless transmission of VR display resolution at 2160 x 1200 at 90Hz.
“Our partnership with TPCAST delivers optimized wireless video
solutions, further validating our commitment to improving the virtual
reality experience,” said Cheng Hwee Chee, senior director of marketing,
mobile and consumer division at
“When seeking a partner to collaborate on our wireless VR protocol
TPCAST 2.0, Lattice’s proven WirelessHD technology, coupled with
Lattice’s FPGA and ASSP products, was a natural fit,” said
Lattice brings to market a range of millimeter wave solutions for high-speed wireless video and data transfers. Grounded on years of market leadership, Lattice delivers multi-gigabit data rates with fast responding beam forming ensuring high quality, ultra-low latency interactive video experiences. Lattice’s programmable logic devices are also used in many other VR and 360 camera applications such as display bridging, spatial and positional tracking and camera interface expansion.
