Using Fujitsu's codec and Sigma's chipset, the two companies create a cable-replacing wireless solution for HD audio and video.
Sigma Designs and Fujitsu Microelectronics America have taken aim at cable-cluttered entertainment systems everywhere, collaborating in an effort to create Wireless HDAV technology for consumer electronics manufacturers. Sigma's Wireless HDAV transports HD multimedia using standard encoding technologies over Ultra-WideBand, replacing cables. Sigma's Wireless HDAV uses Fujitsu’s H.264-compliant CODEC and should enable developers to eliminate cables between televisions and set-top box or High-Definition DVD players using wireless HDAV, streaming high-definition content from device to device at distances up to 10 meters.
The wireless solution combines the Fujitsu MB86H51 CODEC with Sigma’s SMP8634 Secure Media Processor decoder and UWB Windeo chipset. Sigma claims using the MB86H51 to compress raw video allows wireless HD video streaming without compromising visual quality.
The union between Sigma’s SMP8634/Windeo Chipset and Fujitsu’s MB86H51 CODEC will be exhibited for the first time at CES in Las Vegas, which begins January 7, 2008.
