āAs demand for wireless digital entertainment increases, ADIās signal processing technology plays an important role in helping Hitachi realize many of its pioneering ideas,ā said Bill Bucklen, director, Advanced Television Segment, Analog Devices. āADIās broad portfolio of audio and video signal processing solutions helped Hitachi deliver a compelling HD viewing experience for their Wooo UT LCD-TV customers.ā
Hitachiās TP-WL700H wireless unit, which employs UWB (ultra wide band) wireless technology, uses three Advantiv advanced television solutions ICs to provide enhanced HD video compression, decompression and transmission technology.
āAnalog Devices is pleased to play a role in this revolutionary new technology that will shape the way consumers view wireless HD content on flat-panel TVs,ā said Bucklen. āAs the HD video format continues to flourish, manufacturers such as Hitachi are taking advantage of the wide range of functions from our Advantiv advanced television solutions portfolio, whose high-performance, multiformat audio and video connectivity and processing solutions offer exciting new functionality.ā
Hitachiās wireless hub leverages several video and audio solutions from ADIās Advantiv advanced television solutions portfolio. Analog Devicesā ADV216 Wavescale compression technology video CODEC is a key enabler of high quality, wireless HD video. The CODECās low-latency and scalable resolution produces stunning HD video without requiring external memory. ADIās Wavescale compression technology significantly reduces the impact of errors that can occur during transmission, resulting in the delivery of flawless HD entertainment to a Wooo UT HDTV without running any new wires.
