LASER DIODE DRIVER FOR AUTOMOTIVE HEADS-UP DISPLAYS assistance systems (ADAS). A


vehicle’s HUD keeps drivers focused on the road, safely providing speed, warning signals and other vital vehicle and navigation information on the windshield directly in the driver’s line of sight.


The new generation of A laser diode driver for


automotive heads-up display (HUD) systems has been released by Intersil Corporation. The

augmented reality laser HUDs offer near-zero latency and a wide field of view. They overlay additional real-time information such as traffic signs and a planned turning lane, virtually painting arrows and lines on the road ahead tomake navigation directions obvious and easy to follow.

projjo ection systems being deployed in next generation autos. It is one of the industry’s only laser drivers with a fourth channel for supporting a wide variety of laser diode


configurations, allowing displays to be bright, sharp and rich in colour with high contrast. This device provides sub-1.5ns rise and fall times for fast switching speed, resulting in high frame rate, HD colour video. The device also offers 10-bit colour and 10-bit scale


resolution to support a wide variety of contrast levels for each driver channel. And its flexible


synchronous parallel video interface supports pixel rates up to 150MHz or 1900 pixels per line. ww

ed COLLABORATION FOR “TURNKEY CLOUD DATA CENTRE IN A CONTAINER” CONCEPT


Rittal and innovo Cloud have come together to create a new and innovative “turnkey cloud data centre in a container” concept. The ‘RiMatrix Balanced Cloud Centre’ (RiMatrix BCC) concept combines Rittal’s IT racks, containers, climate control technology and power distribution with the complete cloud infrastructure, including OpenStack cloud management software supplied and installed by iNNOVO Cloud. Companies would use the components within the RiMatrix BCC to model a huge range of options to meet


their needs, from an on-premises private cloud to virtual private data centres, all using verifiably safe servers, storage and network systems. Server and storage systems can be operated in a way which is both standardised and cost-effective using services from the cloud, provided as “IT as a Service (ITaaS). The company advises that, until now, planning and constructing a data centre had been considered as being


an entirely bespoke process taking several years for companies to complete. But with this new joint initiative, an alternative has been created that could offer a far faster solution. Customers would receive a turnkey cloud data centre in ISO or non-ISO container format in which the components such as racks, climate control and power supply would be provided as predefined modules. However, for the first time, the server, network, and storage would be included with the delivery already


pre-configured. Furthermore, the cloud management software would be provided courtesy of the open source “OpenStack” framework. The result is a standardised and completely virtualised cloud data centre, equally suitable for standard and highly demanding applications, such as high-performance computing (HPC) or “big data” purposes. “The industrialisation of data centre construction now enables companies to create their own powerful IT


infrastructure solutions more quickly and easily than ever before”, says Martin Kipping, Rittal’s Director International IT Projects”, with this solution assisting the path to mass industrialisation. www.rittal.co.uk
