"Renesas will submit in the coming months a chip capable of allowing the use of high definition content on devices like cell phones and portable media players"
On the occasion of 'International Solid State Circuits Conference 2009 to be held in San Francisco from 8 to 12 February next Renesas, a joint venture of Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric, will present the public with a processor that will allow content to enjoy HD at 1080p resolution also on portable devices like cell phones and handhelds. There is information that, to date, are available on the Renseas solution, but sufficient to start to sketch something concrete.
The session at which the processor will be presented is entitled: "A processor with 342mW Video Codec Full HDTV Multi-Standard", according to some indiscretions seems that the processor is characterized by an operating frequency that can go up to 500MHz. The solution proposed by Renesas should also support MPEG-4AVC/H.264 video formats, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
The processor will be produced with 65-nanometer technology and CMOS will have dimensions of 41.6 mm square. The consumption of 342mW seems to be verified in terms of realtime encoding of HDTV content, also making use of DDR-SDRAM memory at 166MHz and 64-bit. Currently do not have any information about the current availability on the market for this solution, it 'on production volumes.
