1ª placa HDTV para PC com hardware decoder

Micronas shows the reference Design of a HDTV suited PC receipt map for Dvb-s2 with hardware decoder for Mpeg-2/-4 and H.264 in Hanover in resounds to 23 at its conditions A43. With the PCI express map the newer H.264-komprimierten of HDTV programs can being looked such as pro filters hp and Sat.1 hp at the PC, which are radiated over Astra using the transmission standard Dvb-s2.

Owing to the decoder chip the 1080i/50-Videos (1920 × 1080 pixels with 50 half-images per second) is to leave itself ruckelfrei shown to clocked Celeron processor and Main board with Intel-915G-Chipsatz including diagram unit integrated by a computer with 2,8 GHz with 10 per cent CPU load. To the comparison: Micronas presents a system with AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor of the type 3800+, ATI-X1900-Grafikkarte and the likewise finished reference Design of a DVB-S2-Karte without hardware acceleration, which ruckelte again and again with the same task in Hanover also. The CPU load was here on the average already with 60 per cent.

With both maps the coded HDTV offer of the Pay TV transmitter premiere could not be looked at at present, since it lacks the models a connection for a module, which could take up the CAM including Smartcard, necessary for the decoding of the programs. Micronas hopes

according to own data to develop a solution with which the Smartcard reader over USB 2,0 is attached. Even if this succeeds, the attempt could fail to decode the premiere hp programs: For the Nagravision coding (Aladdin), used by the Pay TV transmitter with its high-dissolved programs, so far no CAM on the market is available.

Micronas assumes the DVB-S2-Karten is brought by different offerers under their label names to the Christmas business 2006 on the German market. To hope it remains that the ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG at the expiration of the test phase end of 2006 their so far freely receiptable hp transmitters not also still coded.
