Marelli, Microchip Advance Display Connectivity for Software-Defined Vehicles
Marelli and Microchip Technology announced a new display connectivity solution for software-defined vehicles using ASA Motion Link, an open standard for automotive video connectivity. The solution allows graphics and video content from a vehicle's central computer to be streamed directly to displays, simplifying architectures and reducing costs. Microchip's VS7000 ASA-ML chipset and Marelli's display-side integration enable secure, high-speed video transmission, supporting data rates up to 16 Gb
