NORWOOD, Mass. (PRWEB) May 29, 2008

“As demand for wireless digital entertainment increases, ADI’s signal processing technology plays an important role in helping Hitachi realize many of its pioneering ideas,” said Bill Bucklen, director, Advanced Television Segment, Analog Devices. “ADI’s broad portfolio of audio and video signal processing solutions helped Hitachi deliver a compelling HD viewing experience for their Wooo UT LCD-TV customers.”

 

Hitachi’s 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.

 

“Analog 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,” said Bucklen. “As 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.”

 

Hitachi’s wireless hub leverages several video and audio solutions from ADI’s Advantiv advanced television solutions portfolio. Analog Devices’ ADV216 Wavescale compression technology video CODEC is a key enabler of high quality, wireless HD video. The CODEC’s low-latency and scalable resolution produces stunning HD video without requiring external memory. ADI’s 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. The Hitachi TP-WL700H also leverages Analog Devices’ wireless HDMI reference design that allows multiple entertainment HD sources to be connected wirelessly to a single Wooo UT HDTV.

 

Analog Devices’ ADV7441A video decoder with integrated HDMI receiver and AD9389B HDMI and DVI (digital visual interface) transmitter enable Hitachi’s wireless unit to support high-resolution HDTV formats up to 1080i in addition to high fidelity audio formats.

 

With monitors as thin as 35 mm, Hitachi Wooo UT series flat-screen LCD HDTVs are available in three models, the 42-inch UT42-XV700, the 37-inch UT37-XV700, and 32-inch UT32-HV700B/W/R/A. All are compatible with Hitachi’s optional TP-WL700H wireless unit.
