Genesis Microchip introduces next generation controllers for LCD TV and LCD monitor applications; new gm5221 controller series to debut at Computex 2003 Show - Brief Article

EDP Weekly's IT Monitor, Sept 29, 2003

Genesis Microchip Inc. (Nasdaq:GNSS) has announced it has introduced the gm5221 series of controllers optimized for a broad range of flat panel TV and LCD Monitor applications. These controllers are being demonstrated for the first time at Computex 2003 in Taipei, Taiwan.

The gm5221 is a highly integrated display controller that supports both entry-level LCD TV and multimedia LCD Monitor applications. It incorporates an NTSC/PAL video input port, integrated Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with Phase Lock Loop (PLL) and LVDS transmitters. In addition to leveraging Genesis patented advanced image-processing technology for format conversion, the gm5221 also features Adaptive Color and Contrast (ACC) and Active Color Management (ACM-II) to boost contrast levels and enhance the colors of video content for LCD displays.

The gm5221 supports PC input resolutions from VGA to UXGA as well as standard definition and high definition video input formats. The image is upconverted or down-converted to a maximum display resolution of 1280 x 1024.

"Featuring Genesis advanced color processing and control technologies, the newly introduced gm5221 uniquely enables monitor panels to display images with a perceived color fidelity and high contrast typically associated with much more expensive TV panels," said Anders Frisk, executive vice president of Genesis Microchip.

The gm5221 and its derivatives, the gm2221, gm5321, and gm2321 are pin-compatible and support multiple input and output configurations.

    How to Win at Office Politics

In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
