It’s day one of the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and we’re at the TI Village technology area surrounded by more than 100 product demos showcasing the next generation of innovation in automotive, IoT, smart homes, personal electronics and more.
You could easily spend hours taking it all in; but if you’re at the show, and you’ve only got 30 minutes – or if you are living vicariously through our online coverage – here are five things in the TI Village you really don’t want to miss (hint: think amazing ultra-high definition for your home theater, next-generation intelligence for your car and real-time, remote health monitoring, to name a few).
1) DLP® 4K UHD solution
Why you should see it
You have to see it to believe it. From home theater to the boardroom to the classroom, our new 4K UHD chip is going to rock your viewing world. The DLP® 4K UHD solution uses the fast speed of the chip with advanced image processing to deliver more than 8 million pixels to the screen using 4 million tiny mirrors. Each mirror is capable of switching over 9,000 times per second, creating two distinct and unique pixels on the screen during every frame to deliver full 4K UHD resolution. The chipset offers customers access to an affordable 4K solution for large screen projection displays.
