Media processor tackles H.264 playback 28/11/2006
 
media processor, H.264 3DLABS has announced the DMS-02, a media processor aimed at digital hand held devices that is capable of H.264 video playback in 720p high definition format.
“Our engineering teams were asked to deliver a breakthrough in handheld media processing and the DMS-02 shows we have achieved just that,” said Hock Leow, president of 3DLABS. “ The ability to play back a full 720p resolution H.264 video on your HDTV from a portable device consuming less than 1 Watt is an incredible achievement.”
The DMS-02, manufactured on a 130nm process by an undisclosed partner, incorporates 24 floating point processing elements, dual ARM 926EJ cores running at 200MHz, multilevel caches and three bidirectional video stream ports.
A full suite of hardware and software development tools, CODECs and APIs, is also available to support companies designing next generation consumer products for markets such as portable digital entertainment, portable navigation and video surveillance.
