TI touts chips for integrated pico projectors, HD recording on mobiles

by Darren Murph, posted Feb 11th 2008 at 12:28PM

It's no secret that Texas Instruments has been pushing to get its technologies into more cellphones for awhile now, and considering that even Nokia reckons that HD recording capabilities in mobiles is but a few years away, it's not too shocking to hear what TI busted out at Mobile World Congress. Reportedly, the firm has unveiled "a chip to support cellphones with mini projectors and another chip that would let users record high-definition video on their phones." After showing prototypes in the past, TI asserted that it had chips "ready for production" for pico projectors that could be integrated into a variety of handsets, while the OMAP3440 -- which would let consumers capture HD footage on the same device that gives those thumbs a workout -- will be available in Q2 for handset makers to test out.

Mitsubishi's CEDIA booth tour

Up next on our journey through CEDIA 2007 is Mitsubishi, which seemed to separate its projectors from the rest of its inventory on the floor. Nevertheless, the firm did have a micro projector in action alongside the beastly HC6000, and just across the way were too many HDTVs to count. Interestingly, Mitsu chose to erect an entire wall of its own to show off a few UltraThin Frame LCDs, but we utilized the questionably scientific finger-gap test to show that these sets weren't quite as thin as Toshiba's RF350U. Another treat came when we witnessed a trio of incredibly engrossed (or bored, 'twas hard to tell) individuals trying to make sense of a 3D display, so be sure and share in the fun below, capiche?

projectiondesign's Action! M25 DLP projector does 1080p

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 13th 2007 at 5:21PM


Sure, Epson and Philips' endeavor to create a mini projector may be novel, but projectiondesign's forthcoming device packs the power we AV freaks admire. Touting an almost unbelievable assortment of niceties, this 3.7- x 9.2- x 10.8-inch DLP machine is reportedly the "world's smallest" Full HD projector to date, and if that wasn't inspiring enough, it also uses TI's 0.95-inch 1080p DMD, the firm's proprietary RealColor technology, and plays nice with home automation systems with RS-232 and IP interfaces. Additionally, it sports a 10-bit video processing engine, HDMI 1.3 compatibility, 1,000 lumens, and a even-segment, 5x color wheel. Best of all, this HD-lovin' projector is available for purchase as we speak, but we're assuming that the unlisted price is a good sign that we common folk should just keep on looking.
