Fujitsu?s H.264 chip encodes/decodes in Full 1080i
May 21, 2007
Fujitsu just announced a world’s first H.264 chip capable of encoding/decoding 1920 x 1080 (60i/50i) video in real time. The chip features 256MB of onboard FCRAM and ultra low 750mW power draw when encoding video. That means lickity quick, MPEG-2 quality processing with only a third, or half the required storage. The ¥30,000 ($247) MB86H51 chip is available to OEMs starting July 1st after which you’ll find it bunged into the latest up-scale, consumer-class video recorders.

May 16, 2007
The last time GigaOM and NewTeeVee offered up Joost invites (10,000 of them) they got all snatched up in a couple of days with most of you asking for more, leaving your emails. So they got more Joost Juice for you. No need to leave your emails or anything else. Go to this Joost web page, click, enter your information and get on Joost right there. Now all GigaOM and NewTeeVee ask you is that you send them a virtual hug, and if you got a blog, then spread the word.
