History

Quartics was formed in 2003 to commercialize technologies in the area of ultra-high memory throughput and processing semiconductor architecture for video and audio media. The company introduced its PC2TV chip in October, 2006.

The core technical team at Quartics has developed and filed 22 patents in media processing architecture, video and graphics processing and QoS (Quality of Service) algorithms. Quartics has delivered semiconductor products to a variety of industry leaders including Acer, Addlogix, D-Link, InFocus, NEC, and ViewSonic.

Products and Applications

Quartics manufactures SoCs (Systems on a Chip) for a variety of video display applications and consumer media solutions. Quartics supplies a line of video processing chipsets to consumer device manufacturers on an OEM basis.

Quartics' PC2TV application chipsets and software allow consumers to view anything they can see on their PC screen on their television through a wired or wireless connection. Unlike the Apple TV product, which only plays proprietary iTunes content and YouTube videos, Quartics’ PC2TV processor can manage all types of video and audio regardless of the format.

Other products include chipsets for display extension like PC to monitor and PC to projector applications. These chipsets allow consumers to port video and graphics from a laptop or desktop computer to high resolution displays over USB, IP or wireless networks.

Products initially containing Quartics' processing chips include a wireless projector from Acer and a USB hub from Addlogix.
