MikroBus Interface

GRAPHICS, VIDEO, AND AUDIO

The MEK has hardware accelerated video, graphics, and

audio processing capabilities. The integrated video supports

encode and decode for h.264 as well as decode for h.265.

The graphics engine and display processor support rich 3D

and 2D user interfaces while the Tensilica® HiFi 4 DSP supports

audio pre- and post- processing, key word detection and

speech recognition for hands-off interaction. Applications like

infotainment, clusters, display audio, HMI, surveillance, and

robotics can take advantage of the high level of multimedia

integration.

HMI AND CONNECTIVITY

Today, Human Machine Interface (HMI) must respond

accurately, and in miliseconds, to touch screen and gesture

inputs. Connectivity is a must, demanding increasingly faster

and more reliable wired and wireless capabilities associated

with security to protect sensitive data and privacy. The i.MX

i.MX 8QuadXPlus MEK provides capabilities for development

of these key functionalities.
