台北2020年7月29日 /美通社/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) 於7月27日宣佈完成對INVECAS高畫質多媒體介面(HDMI)業務的收購。INVECAS總部位於聖克拉拉，專長為提供嵌入式軟體及系統級解決方案。此次收購將為ADI帶來完整的音頻和視訊解決方案，以滿足企業和消費性電子市場日益成長之需求。該筆交易的財務條款未予披露。
ADI工業及消費性電子事業部資深副總裁John Hassett表示：「HDMI技術在各種商業、專業、消費電子和汽車視訊應用領域具有較高的需求。透過收購INVECAS的HDMI業務，ADI將能為客戶的整個生產過程提供更全面性的解決方案 -- 從晶片至認證再到最終產品。我們很高興能透過引入該團隊的專業知識進一步提升ADI之能力。」
此次收購並將提升ADI在HDMI標準機構中的地位，協助推升HDMI連接技術的未來演進，如HDMI 2.1功能組合和低功耗特性。此外，ADI並將具備認證和合規能力，以確保在客戶的整個HDMI開發週期中（從概念形成到認證和產品發表）為其提供各種支援。隨著業界不斷發展及HDMI 2.1的問世，8K和10K視訊、增強音訊回傳、可變刷新率等應用將越趨常見。此外，ADI將透過更廣泛的功能組合和更低的功耗進一步擴大產品受眾，使相關技術能獲得更廣泛採用。
INVECAS HDMI技術團隊於該領域擁有悠久的歷史，前身為1995年成立的半導體公司Silicon Image，HDMI技術即為該公司所率先創建。該團隊之管理階層於合併至ADI的影音事業部後將持續發揮關鍵作用。
INVECAS副總裁暨總經理Laxman Vemury表示：「隨著朝向HDMI 2.1之邁進及協助引進更多突破性技術，對於推動這些下一代應用發展之需求已空前高漲。我們與ADI強強聯手，將能提供更多產品和服務，協助客戶採用更廣泛功能組合及更低功耗的技術。」
透過收購INVECAS HDMI業務，ADI擴展了其感測技術和解決方案組合，進而強化了人機交互體驗。透過公司的專業技術知識結合，各種技術組合所支援的新應用和動態使用者介面將使裝置能以開創性的方式與世界互動，而這些創新旨在因應日益成長的沉浸式體驗需求。
ADI之產品組合包括業界廣泛採用的HDMI介面解決方案，主要用於高畫質電視、機上盒、影音接收器、投影機和其他多路輸入顯示器等應用。更多有關ADI之HDMI產品和感測解決方案資訊請瀏覽：www.analog.com/consumer。
