Sigma Designs , a provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for delivering and displaying entertainment and manage via the home, has introduced its SMP8910 media processor, what it calls a of the initial chips to confederate VXP studio-quality video estimate and 3-D video estimate in to a high-performance media processor.

The new processor fragment will complement the observation experience and opening for related media players, Blu-ray players and IPTV set-top boxes. SMP8910 samples will be existing to customers in the initial half of 2011.

The SMP8910 provides more than 6000DMIPS via a dual-core, 1004K MIPS CPU. The chip's distributed-processing design features task-optimized CPU that manage key processes, inclusive HD multiformat video decoding, 3-D graphics rendering, calm insurance and safety management, and multiformat audio encoding and decoding. This design leaves more than 3000DMIPS of existing estimate to uniformly run middleware, set-top box applications and the ultimate over-the-top applications.

Included VXP technology creates a rich, studio-grade observation experience and is proven in rigorous applications such as digital motion picture projectors, prosumer A/V receivers and processors, announce monitors and premium-quality Blu-ray players. VXP excels at upscaling images, removing sound and video application artifacts, and conducting countless image enhancements, such as adaptive difference and item enhancement.

The SMP8910 moreover includes two new VXP features: de-ghosting and adaptive debanding. De-ghosting reduces ghosting artifacts present on many stream 3-D TVs by preprocessing the 3-D video before pushing the 3-D TV, consequent in a more gratifying and reduction intense observation experience. Adaptive debanding reduces shade contouring, ordinarily seen as bands of shade instead of every time well-spoken shading, consequent in a more gratifying image without loss of detail, particularly on considerable displays.
