W82C610
MONITOR SOFTWARE OSD IC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W82C610 and SoftControl software provide a proprietary Software On-Screen-Display (OSD)
solution for monitors. It delivers excellent performance and flexibility over hardware OSD solution in
current monitor industry. User can adjust monitor from SoftControl under Window (R) environment
instead of adjustment from front panel. The W82C610 decodes the RGB video signals generated by a
SoftControl program from the host, over normal VGA cable, and produces control data that can be
accessed by the display microcontroller.
FEATURES
• A delicate solution for software On-Screen-Display
• Excellent performance and flexibility over Hardware OSD
• Low cost implementation for existing monitors
• 16-pin PDIP
• 5V CMOS device
• ESD protection (> 4 KV)
SoftControl Feature List
