TPCAST’s protocol supports wireless transmission of HD display and feedback control for smart devices and computers. TPCAST’s newly released TPCAST 2.0 protocol supports up to 4K resolution at 120Hz, enabling an immersive wireless VR experience with near-zero latency transmission for both the display and controllers.

The TPCAST wireless upgrade kit includes Lattice’s MOD6320-T/MOD6321-R WirelessHD modules offering near-zero latency and robust non-line of sight (NLOS) performance ideal for VR applications. TPCAST’s solution also features Lattice’s SiI9396 600 MHz HDMI® bridge IC, LatticeECP3 SERDES-based FPGA, and TPCAST 2.0 protocol and algorithm. Together, this robust solution supports wireless transmission of VR display resolution at 2160 x 1200 at 90Hz.

“Our partnership with TPCAST delivers optimized wireless video solutions, further validating our commitment to improving the virtual reality experience,” said Cheng Hwee Chee, senior director of marketing, mobile and consumer division at Lattice Semiconductor. “Our WirelessHD technology allows VR enthusiasts to eliminate cables while maintaining high-quality and robust video connectivity, without sacrificing performance.”

“When seeking a partner to collaborate on our wireless VR protocol TPCAST 2.0, Lattice’s proven WirelessHD technology, coupled with Lattice’s FPGA and ASSP products, was a natural fit,” said Andrea Liu, marketing director at TPCAST. “Working with Lattice, we’re able to deliver a truly unmatched VR experience with low latency, high robustness and high bandwidth video transmission. We look forward to continuing our work with Lattice to develop future wireless VR solutions.”
