The Display Audio may be used to link smart phone with an automobile sound system through the Android Auto or CarPlay software system and display the APP of your smart phone to the screen mounted on the vehicle for mapping. These APPs could then be controlled by the button or knobs, or voice activation, hand signals through the device installed in the vehicle instead of operating the function on the smart phone. This allows the Display Audio to emerge as the centre of information and entertainment in automobiles. The market potential will stunning.
Reduce the cost of design and production through high integration solution
The Display Audio integrated chip solution currently available is a quick and low cost solution for developers of automobile sound systems. The Ample AM610, for example, adopted the Freescale Cortex™-A9 i.MX 6S single core processor featuring integrated 3D imagining and 1080p coding/decoding video engine and can support the playing of 1080p high definition movies. Furthermore, it is highly energy efficient and has an interface abundant for expansion, with high definition display and support for the decoding of high definition video and other audiovisual formats, radio receiver, car back-up visual display, SD and USB multimedia storage. The independent guide and multimedia output can support external Bluetooth, GPS, and WIFI modules. It can also link to a smart phone and is an ideal choice of high-end products.
There is also a version of Ample A2 Display Audio for low-end systems. With the use of the STA1095 single chip solution of ST, it can support the decoding of different formats of audio data, exchange of audio data, sound effect handling, analog signal input/output. It features an independent safety control network with 3 audio DSP, a Cortex M3 co-processor, and a Cortex R4 main processor. The use of an A2 integration solution can achieve the effect which otherwise requires different components. It also supports SD and USB multimedia storage devices, and also performs the functions of radio receiver, car back-up image input, and vehicle diagnosis information display. Furthermore, it can also be used in conjunction with the Bluetooth module for linking with cell phones. This is the most economical Display Audio solution.
The Display Audio supports high definition color touch panel display and is optimized for smart phone integration. It can communicate with smart phone connection (such as the use of USB) or wireless technology (such as Bluetooth). Once linked, the Display Audio can synchronize with the smart phone in display and allows for operation with either the touch panel of the smart phone, or the device for the desired function. Users can access their smart phones for dialing telephone numbers, accessing their phonebook, music, GPS, data, and it can help to optimize with the third-party App so as to support the Android and IOS operating systems of smart phones.
The automobile industry has unveiled great reforms in information technology to keep up with technological advancement. The expansion of the functions for the automobile sound system will just be the starting point of the information revolution for the automobile industry that will advance to the world of IOV. The business opportunities will be incalculable. The Ample Display Audio solution will help you open the door of lucrative business opportunity deriving from the automobile revolution.
