I’m currently in Shanghai at the 6th C3D World to present “Providing premium 3D video with post processing for CE and STB products”. Should be another great show, like the previous two. Sales of Blu-ray players (not including Sony PlayStation 3) in the United States, Japan, and Western Europe are expected to top nearly 24 million units in 2010, including sales of 11 million players in the fourth quarter. At least 10% of these are expected to offer 3D playback, increasing to more than 25% in 2011. By 2014, nearly 40% of homes across these regions is expected to own a 3D Blu-ray player, recorder, or home theater. Rather than borrowing another manufacturer’s complete design, Krell has designed the player themselves, cherry-picking best-of-breed parts to handle each function. Sigma Designs got the nod for the video processor (SMP8644), with the 12-bit VXP processor (GF9452) on board to handle upconversion, de-interlacing and other video-related heavy lifting. The player supports a vertical stretch mode for eliminating the black bars from Cinemascope content, for use in Constant Image Height (CIH) front projection systems. HDI Dune unveils HDI Dune Pro, Dune HD Max, Dune HD Smart, and Dune HD Lite 53D for North American Market, featuring upgrade options for comprehensive home automation and control. They use the Sigma Designs SMP8642 and SMP8653 media processors and Z-Wave for the home control technology, starting a trend of home control features being included in all kinds of CE equipment. HDI Dune announced HDI Dune Pro, the company’s new upscale high-definition media center and the first product to feature HDI Dune Home Technology—a Connected Home Services platform, developed in conjunction with 4Home, that allows home monitoring, media management, and control of all networked cameras, thermostats, lights, etc. from the television. |
