Analog Devices expanded its Advantiv advanced television portfolio with the introduction of an HDMI 1.4 transceiver for home and pro audio/video (A/V) designs. The ADV7623 HDMI 1.4 transceiver incorporates Xpressview fast switching technology, which enables seamless, automatic switching between HDMI-enabled AV devices in a fraction of a second, eliminating up to 19 seconds of delay required by many AV systems. This HDMI 1.4 device integrates a 4:1 multiplexed input HDMI receiver, HDMI transmitter, and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) buffer and controller into a single platform. The device supports advanced features such as OSD (on-screen display) and ARC (audio-return channel) traditionally reserved for higher priced entertainment systems.
