Broadcom Crystal HD brings Hi-Definition Videos to netbooks
Broadcom has announced its Crystal HD solution for netbooks which brings 1080p video playback (finally!) to netbooks.
The BCM70015 single chip high-definition advanced media processor:
- Provides software support for Adobe® Flash® Player (v10.1), Windows Media® Player (v12), as well as support for other third-party media players including both commercial and open-source.
- Leverages Broadcom’s proven set-top box (STB) and consumer media player technologies to provide one of the industry’s best HD media playback experiences on low cost netbooks.
- Is targeted for PC/x86 applications that include the playback of streaming video, Blu-ray Disc®, file-based content and broadcast (and other TV sources).
- Is perfect for low cost netbooks, but is also designed for use in notebooks as well as small form factor (SFF) and slim desktops.
- Supports standard definition (SD) and HD multi-format video decode of industry standard codecs (H.264/AVC, MPEG-2, VC-1, WMV9, MPEG-4, DivX®, Xvid and AVS), enabling users to enjoy a mobile media experience with no frame drops or jitter, even under a heavy CPU load.
- Is optimized for motherboard designs and is also available in the PCI Express mini-card module format.
