ATI kündigte den neuen Chip aus der Theater-Linie an: den Theater™ 550 PRO. Dieser Chip erlaubt laut Pressemitteilung den Fernseh-Empfang in ausgezeichneter Qualität und bietet PVR-Funktionalität. "PVR-on-a-chip" beinhaltet folgende Schlüsseltechnologien:
  • Next Generation 12-bit Video Decoder (3D Comb Filtering for NTSC and PAL and 5-line 2D Comb Filtering)
  • Next Generation Hardware Video and Audio Encoder with new features such as Advanced Noise Reduction
  • PCI Express X1 and PCI interface on a single device
  • Digital IF Demodulation that improves video quality and reduces the overall solution cost
  • Worldwide multi-standard Audio Decoder
Doch es kommt noch besser: Der Chip konsumiert nur sehr wenig Energie und benötigt keine Kühlung!
Laut ATI hat der Chip gerade das Sampling hinter sich und wird in Kürze in Massen produziert werden. Produkte mit dem neuen Chip werden von ATI selbst und von MSI, Sapphire, Gigabyte und anderen ATI-Partnern angeboten werden.

Zitat
Notebook original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Acer and original design manufacturers (ODM) including Compal Electronics Inc., Quanta Corporation, and Wistron Corp will also feature THEATER 550 PRO in their upcoming products.
Zumindest Acer scheint da schon was im Laufen zu haben :)

Q&A mit ATI gibt's bei den X-Bit Labs
Zitat
X-bit labs: Which THEATER 550 PRO products do you plan to release? In case you can name them, can you also indicate any approximate prices for the parts?
Mike Kreiten, ATI: THEATER 550 PRO products will be sold by our partners listed in the presentation. First configurations are our single tuner, PCI or PCI-E, optional Low-Profile boards. They will support FM radio and Video inputs. North American pricing will be 99$, European prices will be determined by our partners.

[...]

X-bit labs: Does the THEATER 550 PRO need a graphics processor to display the video, or it features its own RAMDAC? If it does need a VPU, can you name the VPUs compatible with the THEATER 550 PRO?
Mike Kreiten, ATI: It is a PCI/PCI-Express TV card without any TV outputs. THEATER 550 PRO supports various output methods and formats, not only PC-related. The output can be hardware compressed MPEG 2 as well as raw video data, so the ASIC is very universal. In case of PC output, any VPU will be compatible.
