The Tensilica IVP DSP complements ARM’s GPU and Video IP and is suitable for the complex algorithms in imaging, video and computer vision. The Display Transmitter PHY is a physical display IP solution that works with the Mali-DP500 and Mali-DP500 display processors and supports all major display standards required in the mobile and consumer worlds, including MIPI DPI and DSI, eDP and HDMI. Through this collaboration between ARM and Cadence, customers can enjoy an optimised and compelling visual experience out of the box.
