THE POSSIBILITIES ARE INFINITE

MB86297 CARMINE

Carmine is a new high end extension to the Fujitsu Graphic Controller Family. This chip carry a brand new graphics core which will deliver 10x more performance as Coral PA. All relevant blocks inside the chip are redesigned and will be optimized for high-end in-car multimedia applications. Carmine will be 100% compatible to OpenGL ES 1.1. All transform and lighting functions can be executed in hardware.

As a new feature, Carmine will have two independent display output units. Both can generate individual display timings and resolutions. For each display channel, 8 layers and 4 alpha-planes are available. Carmine also features two independent video input channels. Each of them can capture independent YUV and RGB signals.
