Our friends at PoP Video have gotten a lot of media coverage since their release, and I wanted to highlight a few links here (with a certain amount of self-promotion for VEE, of course!). We’ll have some more QuickLogic-generated content very soon; but for now, enjoy the links Engadget “3.5 ounce peripheral’s capable of 960 […]

Why an OEM Would Use a Bridge Chip (and Why They Wouldn’t)
Upon seeing the ArcticLink III VX RGB->LVDS demo at the recent Linley conference, a very astute attendee asked me ‘why do some OEMs use bridge chips and some don’t?’ This was a very good question, and one we’ve gotten before. Accordingly, it makes good blog fodder, so here we go… From the outset, this would […]

On MHL and HDMI: How Do VEE and DPO Fit?
QuickLogic’s new ArcticLink III VX devices, revealed last December, features LVDS, MIPI, and RGB interfaces.

I am the Myth-Debunker
I’ve spent the better part of the last 12 years in the imaging and display world. In that whole time, one thing that is constantly misunderstood and debated is how exactly to measure quality of cameras and displays, and further how to cut through marketing-speak. Myth 1: “HD-quality” “HD-Quality” is a marketing tool, plain and […]

Now, onto the answers… Q: Is MHL in QuickLogic’s product plans, as it appears to be the only standard not supported by QuickLogic today?

On BCC…
Sorry for being late with this blog, especially for those interested and keeping track… We announced BCC, or Background Color Compensator, last week. This technology enables OEMs of pico projectors to design in an automatic compensation for other-than-white backgrounds. So the obvious question is: “Is this important?” We believe so, and here’s why: Standard projectors […]
How VEE Affects the Effective Lumens on Pico Projectors
Many people have asked us how exactly VEE works on Pico Projectors. A little more information is contained in the video below, also available on our YouTube channel.
