Parade Technologies, announces the availability of the PS195 and PS196 DisplayPort 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 protocol converters for computer system motherboards, docking stations, and protocol converter dongle applications. The PS195 and PS196 products are fully compliant with the VESA DisplayPort v2.0 and HDMI v2.1 specifications. The DP receiver supports up to 4 lanes at the HBR3 (8.1 Gbps) link rate and supports optional DSC compression, both in decoding of the DP input or pass-through to the HDMI output.

The HDMI output supports up to 4 lanes of FRL at 12 Gbps data rate per lane, enabling display resolutions up to 10K when using DSC pass-through. The HDMI output also provides backward compatibility with HDMI 2.0 and earlier versions, providing TMDS signaling up to 6.0 Gbps. HDMI 2.1 enhanced refresh rate and low latency features including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Quick Media Switching (QMS) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) are supported.





Parade's PS195 and PS196 DP 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 protocol converters offer the best power performance available on the market. The very low power consumption during standby and low power states greatly benefits portable system battery life.

"PS19x HDMI 2.1 converter family enables HDMI 2.1 on host systems and accessories to bring about 8K and higher display resolution," says Jimmy Chiu, Executive VP of Marketing at Parade Technologies. "Parade continues the success of the PS185/PS186 DP 1.4 - HDMI 2.0 converter family." Parade HDMI protocol converter, retimer, and redriver products are the most proven and popular HDMI signal integrity components in the industry. They offer the widest HDMI compliance test margins and system interoperability.

Availability

The PS195 and PS196 are sampling now. They are available in a 7 mm x 8 mm 74-pin QFN package.

Literally anything that supports DP 2.0, yeah. Adoption of these standards is always slow, but this feels like it has been especially bad. Then again maybe they're holding off as there are no DP 2.0 capable cables out there either (and they'll likely be short, thick, expensive AF, and hard to find).

8.1 Gbps HBR3 was introduced in DP 1.3. Calling this a DP 2.0 device is a bit disingenuous when it doesn't support UHBR. You're still limited to 32 Gb/s or 4K120 without compression.
