The demand for high-performance, adaptable, and easily integrated Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solutions continues to grow in the rapidly evolving landscape of digital systems. Riverdi is at the forefront of this transformation, announcing the official launch of the 15.6″ EVE5 Intelligent Display on September 30, 2025.
Powered by the advanced Bridgetek BT820B (EVE5) controller, this display marks a major milestone: an industrial Full HD module with synchronized audio-visual playback, enhanced ASTC compression, and an object-oriented programming model that simplifies development.
Strategic partnership driving innovation
The Riverdi 15.6″ EVE5 display fundamentally expands HMI capabilities by enabling seamless integration of live video feeds. It supports direct input from industrial cameras, advanced medical systems, and comprehensive security monitoring setups—eliminating the need for external video processing hardware.
This breakthrough is the result of close collaboration between Riverdi and Bridgetek, the manufacturer of the BT820B controller, which represents the fifth generation of the Embedded Video Engine (EVE) chip.
At the heart of the display, the powerful BT820B controller enables the development of advanced, touch-enabled interfaces on large LVDS screens with resolutions up to 1920×1200. Equipped with dedicated DDR3 memory and an optimized object-oriented programming model, the controller delivers smooth rendering of complex graphics without taxing the main microprocessor’s resources.
Compared to its predecessor, the EVE4 generation, the EVE5 module offers a 2.4x increase in resolution (1920×1080 versus 1280×800).
