On June 28, UNISOC's first AI+8K UHD smart display chip platform M6780 made its debut at the MWC Shanghai. This chip platform supports 8K decoding and HDR full format, and has strong AI computing power brought by the high integration of CPU, GPU, NPU, VDSP and ADSP, giving users a more real and smoother UHD audiovisual experience.

Equipped with Arm Mali-G57 4 cores GPU, the UNISOC M6780 integrates Arm Cortex-A76*2 + Arm Cortex-A55*2, and supports H.264/H.265/VP9/AV1/AVS and other mainstream decoding protocols, delivering powerful performance and offering an overwhelming 8K immersion experience.

UHD Color Images, Real and Extraordinary Picture Enjoyment

The UNISOC M6780 chip platform supports the mainstream HDR formats—Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG, and makes use of AI-SR super resolution technology, AI-PQ intelligent image enhancement, and MEMC dynamic compensation technology to create a wonderful visual experience for users.

The UNISOC AI-SR (Super Resolution) algorithm module ensures the details of images and improves the quality of high-resolution images, while enhancing the resolution of the images. Through millions of deep learning training sessions, it simulates the understanding of video creators on the screen contents, and through a comprehensive analysis of the screen details, it appropriately supplements the detail texture required for video amplification, so as to achieve the restoration of low-resolution images to detailed high-definition images. The M6780 supports 36x pixel magnification, which can magnify 720p images to 8K UHD images.

As a traditional TV cannot intelligently identify the scene of the picture, the M6870 uses fixed picture quality parameters. It means that there is a need to balance and compromise each scene and mode to achieve a picture quality experience that can basically meet the needs of users. The M6780 supports AI-PQ (Picture Quality) intelligent recognition of various scenes, frame by frame adjustment of picture brightness, saturation, sharpness and contrast, so as to achieve a more realistic picture effect.

The UNISOC M6780 is equipped with a frame rate conversion module based on MEMC (Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation) technology, offering such features as Cadence detection, logo detection, motion estimation, motion compensation, and halo elimination to obtain continuous and smoothly changing image sequences. It can effectively eliminate picture flutter, motion blur and trailing, and present silky smooth viewing experience for users.

The Extraordinary Experience of the Beauty of Lingering Sound.

In addition to picture quality, sound quality is also one of the essential factors for an immersive experience. The sound quality is determined by the whole playback link involving codec, sound effects, speakers, structure and room response, and the speaker performance and structural design are the main influencing factors. Narrow frame and ultra-thin design are the popular trends of TV design today, which leads to the directivity of sound and image in terms of height, medium and high frequency, as well as low frequency response and unsatisfactory sensitivity.

UNISOC provides a full-link sound quality improvement solution from audio codec to playback sound effects and sound field processing, supports Dolby Atoms panoramic sound and rich audio decoding formats. A number of core innovative technologies such as AI-AQ (intelligent sound tuning technology for playback contents) and sound field calibration (adaptive calibration technology for sound field) have been developed to leading an auditory feast.

The UNISOC M6780 is equipped with the AI-AQ algorithm developed by UNISOC. Based on AI technology, it can sense the played audio content, identify the results according to different scenes, and intelligently adjust the EQ parameters of the playback to match the more suitable balance effects for different contents. Sound field calibration can use digital signal processing technology to self-adapt the sound field environment, create a professional sound field effect for consumers to experience the beauty of lingering sound.


A Convenient Intelligent Interactive Experience Brings More Intelligent HD Display and Knows You Better

The UNISOC M6780 has a strong intelligent interaction ability, which can realize intelligent interaction with users through AI-Voice, AI gesture recognition, AI human key point recognition, AI protected crowd viewing recognition and AI scene recognition.

In intelligent voice interaction, UNISOC will apply the AI voice interaction technology on the end side, so that intelligent voice interaction is not limited by the environment and the network, protecting the security of user privacy data and improving the response speed. In order to reduce the impact of interference such as echo and noise, and reduce the experience of wake-up interaction, the M6780 can be equipped with the multi-MIC far-field voice enhancement system, so that the wake-up rate of noise and echo scenes is greatly improved, reaching the industry advanced level. The AI-Voice helps users achieve boundary control and real-time interaction.

In terms of AI recognition, VDSP technology provides professional video processing and flexible gesture interaction control experience; AI human key point recognition can capture the user's body posture to help with health monitoring and movement management; AI protected crowd viewing recognition can identify characteristics such as the viewer's age, gender and facial expressions, thereby protecting the audiovisual experience and physical and mental health of minors and sensitive populations.

In respect of game experience, the use of HDMI2.1, VRR and ALLM technologies give users an unimaginable game experience, and an invincible speed for gaming.
The powerful intelligent interaction function of the UNISOC M6780 provides users with a more intelligent, convenient and user-friendly interaction mode, so that UHD intelligent display makes an important part of the future digital life.

With the advance of exploration on the intelligent world and the development of virtual reality technology, higher requirements have been put forward for the interactive and immersive HD display technology. The launch of the UHD smart display chip platform M6780 will further promote the integration of UHD technology and virtual reality, and propel the maturity of the industrial ecosystem.

As a world-leading platform chip design company, UNISOC boasts long-term research and development experience in IP integration capabilities, audio and video multimedia IP, and technical development capabilities in 5G/Wi-Fi communication foundation, high dynamic (HDR), wide color gamut (WCG) and high frame rate (HFR) requiring immersive large-screen display. In the future, UNISOC will continue to create more high-quality, high-value products and solutions through cornerstone technologies, integrate the virtual and real boundaries, create value for customers, industry and society, and connect the world with chips.
