that speed, or 1.36 GHz. We’ve observed improvements of 20%-25% in CPU utilization while performing decodes or transcodes of various types of video data, thanks to the 8600’s on-board codec circuitry. The unit’s dual DVI-I ports can drive displays with...

MB of DDR3 video RAM at four times that speed, or 1.36 GHz. We’ve observed improvements of 20%-25% in CPU utilization while performing decodes or transcodes of various types of video data, thanks to the 8600’s on-board codec circuitry. The unit’s dual...

upper part of the console supports all the DJ commands, while the major circuits are in the lower part with an input printed circuit and a main printed circuit. The main printed board circuitry is based on an AKM AK4529 codec with 2 ADC channels and 8 DAC channels...

What’s the real problem?. HD PC Audio. Add Blu-Ray to a PC, and out comes high-def audio, right? Not always. In Part 2 of this series we explore related PC hardware components.. We discussed the issues with representatives from the codec developers—where...

chipsets. Most come configured with High Definition Audio and a built-in hardware codec such as the Realtek ALC880. All come equipped with wired GbE circuitry, and all support some kind of internal or external USB 2.0 wireless 802.11a/b/g interface. Some...

of years in the offing, analog-only TV gear is becoming obsolete.. These days, analog TV is something of a walk in the park for circuitry that can handle more demanding HDTV signals and codecs. We observed only very small, very minor differences among the...

S-Video, DV, etc. so you need to make sure your video capture board matches your source. Some capture cards have an external breakout box (or put all the circuitry in the external box). Breakout boxes are handy since they alleviate all that climbing behind...

because they include the audio codecs to handle 7.1 and 8 channel surround sound schemes, but also because they often include high-end signal processing circuitry from manufacturers such as Silicon Optix and Faroudja. This silicon can clean up video signals...
