Just received this in my other inbox, and thought this might be
interesting for the group as well:
NTT Electronics Develops Compact, Low-Power H.264/AVC HDTV Codec
Module with PCI Express Interface
NTT Electronics Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward
announces a low-power, H.264/AVC HDTV real-time codec module, named
PINEA module that incorporates PCI Express.
By combining the PINEA module with a stacked package structure including
DDR memory, a compact H.264/AVC system for PC application can be easily
achieved.
Recently, the use of H.264/AVC has spread to a variety of applications
such as broadcasting, next-generation DVDs, and mobile devices.
H.264/AVC is especially advantageous in applications limited by a narrow
bandwidth communications environment, where the codec's high compression
efficiency is utilized. Due to the massive processing resources required
by the amount of calculations involved, software-based codecs on
personal computers have yet to fully support the real time processing
needed for full-HD video or multi-channel SD video encoding. The result
has been great demand for hardware-based codecs that offer stable,
real-time encoding.
