comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Just this week Renesas Technology Corp. announced their SH7370, a SH-Mobile HD1 application processor for mobile phones. The tiny processor is the first to support full 1080p (1920 x 1080) video playback and recording potential, and can support H.264/MPEG-4 video compression at 30 frames per second.

This processor also has two 24-bit dedicated audio digital signal processors that help lower the CPU’s load, while lowering power consumption. This allows for audio to stream at up to 5.1-channel Dolby Digital quality.

The whole thing is currently shipping with 512Mbits of synchronous DRAM, integrated onto a single package. Said package measures in at a compact, 10nm x 11mm.

Great, now if they would outfit a mobile phone with a projector next to the camra lens I'll be good to go.

avatarThat was my first thoughts also..

But its the recording that will be huge for mobiles.  Can you imagine the quality of the video you could capture at a concert!  I would assum there's other factors/issues (record speed requirments, zoom, quality of lens, etc.) that need to be considered before this would be a fully viable solution.

 

I think this is great and look forward to a day when I can take HD 1080p video for more than a few mins. on a cell phone.  One step at a time...

avatarTiny....

So this chip is only 10 nm wide?!?  That IS compact....  o.O

 

I agree with what the post before mine says. 1080p on a moblie just doesn't interest me that much.

avatarRecording is one thing but i

Recording is one thing but i really don't get how 1080p playback on a cell phone accomplishes anything useful.
