Fujitsu intros digital HDTV SoC with integrated video processing engine

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 15th 2008 at 12:24AM

Panasonic pumped out its UniPhier SoC for worldwide digital TVs earlier this year, and now Fujitsu is hitting back with its MB86H70. The digital HDTV SoC (system-on-chip) boasts an inbuilt video processing engine, support for Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution and a multi-decoder that decodes both MPEG-2 and H.264 video compression formats. The chip is actually designed for digital TVs receiving HD broadcasts in Europe, and supposedly, the LSI will enable TV manufacturers to "improve their design efficiencies with regard to picture quality settings." Look for samples to start shipping without your knowledge in mid-October.

The AVIAMO brand line of plasmas had excellent video processing so this should continue the trend.

I thought Fujitsu was done making HDTV's. Actually they stated they were done making them almost last year? Very strange?

Just because they're not making fully assembled tv sets, does not mean that continuing to make components isn't worth the money.
