Full Hi-Def to Launch a Japanese Mobile TV

Renesas has announced that they will be launching “SH-Mobile-MT1” application processor for digital broadcasting designed for next generation of mobile handsets. The new processor will allow viewing and recording of 1SegTV in Full HD mode in Japan. The sample shipment of this new processor would start from April 2010.

The new processor under tests has achieved time varying image processing and IP conversion of 1920X1080 pixels Full HD. It has noise reduction function, 5.1 channels voice and lower power consumption. Even the voice output has improved considerably. For animation processing hardware MPEG2 image of HD size has been installed.

The new processor’s design and application is one of the first in the industry, because recording and watching TV in mobile phone has been achieved for the first time. There is lower power consumption by the CPU because video and audio is processed with the hardware which is feasible than getting processed by middle ware.

Recording of TV can be saved with the help of SD card. A software package will offer the functionality of receiving and watching the digital broadcast. The BML browser of the framework will allow AV synchronization at real time and DTV applications can be also developed easily. The API package’s specification also conforms to standard API specification developed for next generation devices.

Since it’s known that analog broadcasting mode will end in the year 2011, it becomes important accelerating factor to generate machines that would replace the analog machines that used to receive and broadcast digital media.
