AMD shows its new ATI Theater chip
HDTV for desktops and notebooks
In addition to a lot of product announcements during this week, AMD has also announced a new addition to the ATI Theater lineup, the ATI Theater HD 750 PC TV chip.
This little baby will offer HDTV for desktop and notebook PC systems and supports NTSC, ATSC, DVB-T, Clear-QAM, digital TV and PAL/SECAM, FM and DVB-T radio. (In other words, it supports everything out there.sub.ed.) It can be used for capturing and converting recorded TV content to popular formats such as H.264, AVI, MPEG, DviX, WMV and MPEG4. It also supports ATI's Stream when paired up with an ATI Radeon Stream capable card.
The new ATI Theater HD 750 should be available later this year as a PCI-Express add-on card, USB stick and any other way of implementing this chip for some HDTV action.
