Â Fujitsus unveils worlds first realtime H.264 encode/decode chip

Here’s another first from Fujitsu, the world’s first H.264 chip capable of encoding/decoding at ultra high resolution 1920 x 1080 (60i/50i) in real time( realtime OMFG!) . The chip includes onboard 256MB of onboard FCRAM while drawing a minimal 750mW of power when encoding video. Besides no more headaches while processing you get MPEG-2 quality at a only third, or half the storage space HD encoding requires.

At a quite steep Â¥30,000 ($247) MB86H51 chip are available for the OEMs this July 1st, to fit in consumer video recorders, maybe some motherboards manufacturer interested in putting this chips for inbuilt HD TV encoding and decoding support. Lets hope it becomes cheap enough for us mortals!
