Graphic controller ICs optimized for large-format HMIs
Bridgetek has made further announcements relating to its multi-award-winning embedded video engine (EVE) platform. The BT817 and BT818 represent the company’s fourth generation of EVE products and follow the already established mantra of helping those with little or no relevant prior experience to build advanced HMIs with high degrees of differentiation. These new functionally-superior graphic […]
RGB lighting controller unit is DALI/DMX-protocol compliant
Bridgetek continues to build up the portfolio of hardware available to support its pioneering PanL home/building automation platform. Designed to be straightforward for installation engineers to implement and subsequently upgrade, the company’s new PanL Mood Lighting (ML) units present a convenient and cost-effective RGB-enabled lighting control solution. Compliant with both DALI and DMX digital interface […]
Toolchain updated to expedite advanced level HMI construction
Bridgetek announces a new improved version of EVE Screen Editor (ESE). Relying on simple drag-and-drop actions, ESE 3.3 is the latest update to the company’s intuitive Windows-based tool. This is intended to assist engineers in expediting advanced level HMI construction, without requiring any prior expertise in that area. Through its use, engineers can optimise their […]
Toolchain conversion utility simplifies HMI construction
Bridgetek has taken further steps to simplify the human machine interface (HMI) development process, by broadening the scope of the toolchain that accompanies its popular Embedded Video Engine (EVE) product portfolio. Several extra elements have now been added, plus major upgrades and augmentations made to the existing tools. A core aspect of this fully comprehensive […]
Image gallery: Smart, small, and integrated at electronica 2018
Over 80,000 attendees from 80 countries spent four days at electronica 2018 in Munich last month combing 17 halls, 182K square meters of exhibition space, and meeting with as many of the 3,100 exhibitors as possible. The driving force for many of the new products introduced at the trade fair was, again, the need to […]
Credit-card sized HMI development hardware
Coinciding with the BT815 and BT816 advanced graphics controller ICs being ramped up into volume production, Bridgetek has introduced a series of accompanying entry-level development modules. Supporting a range of different display configurations, the compact (54.1mm x 85.60mm) VM816C modules each feature a BT816 device. Through these items, engineers will be able to utilise the […]
Gallery: Embedded World 2018 — Living the dream at the Edge
From the world of hype to the Embedded World of “real” things, last month in Nuremberg was where the IoT rubber met the road. Displays of smart manufacturing, smart home, autonomous vehicles seemed like more of a backdrop than eye candy. What embedded design engineers were looking for at Embedded World 2018 was a different […]
Graphics controllers support ASTC for enhanced image quality, increased data storage
Further extending its multi-award winning embedded video engine (EVE) product offering, Bridgetek has now introduced the BT815/6 series advanced graphic controllers for next-generation human-machine interface (HMI) development. Support for the Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC) algorithm means that image quality can be significantly enhanced without needing greater bandwidth to be allocated as the compression algorithm allows […]
