NUON in der Met@box ??? - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[ZimtOchse]

Hallo Leute,

zu blöd, leider schaue ich hier auf der Arbeit zum ersten Mal in die c`t und kann daher nichts scannen; Zeit für lange Texte habe ich auch nicht. Trotzdem eine Kurzinfo zur c`t 3/2001 Seite 56:

- VM Laps hat eine 128 Bit CPU, genannt "Aries 2" oder "NUON", mit 1500 MIPS zum Preis heutiger Prozessoren in DVD Playern, entwickelt.
- die CPU ist geeignet für MPEG Decodierung und Spiele auf Playstation 1 Niveau. Es gibt allerdings noch sehr wenige Spiele (z.B. Myst ab 5/2001, Iron Soldier 3 ab 3/2001)
- "ab Werk" unterstützt das NUON System HTML, JavaScript, JPEG, GIF und Macromedia Flash.
- Ab Frühsommer wollen Samsung und Toshiba in Deutschland die ersten NUON-DVD-Player anbieten.
- VM Laps hat eine Partnerschaft mit Motorola zur Entwicklung einer STB mit dem NUON-Prozessor und der MPC860SAR Motorola-CPU geschlossen. Es können MPEG-4 Datenströme dekodiert werden. Aliant Telecom will das aktuelle Modell Streamaster 5000 in Canada einsetzen. TransAct will das Gerät in Canberra, Australien, für Digital-TV und Video-on-Demand einsetzen.

Fazit: ein sehr interessanter Chip. Welchen Chip benutzt MBX zur Decodierung von MPEG?

Der getestete NUON DVD Player von Samsung:
- gute Video Wiedergabe
- Zoom bis Faktor 20 in guter Qualität
- Probleme bei "Seamless Branching"
- Menueinblendung ohne Unterbrechung der Wiedergabe
- geeignet zum Abspielen von HDCDs (20 statt 16 Bit)
- Virtual Light Machine erzeugt Muster bei CD-Wiedergabe

Fehlende Antwort bisher?

Soviel zur Kompetenz der User in bezug auf Met@box. Ich werde bei 5 mal wieder einteigen.

die Phoenix-Plattform ist basiert auf dem Coldfire-Prozessor von Motorola.

MPEG Decodoierung erfolgt über autharke Hardwarelösung (im Rahmen der Plattform)

Der Nuon ist durchaus geeignet für ein geschlossenes System - für eine offene Plattform ist er nicht einsetzbar.

[ZimtOchse]

@Oliver H.
Warum kommt der NUON nicht in Frage, immerhin kann der NUON-Prozessor und die MPC860SAR Motorola-CPU zusammenarbeiten?

ciao ZO

[Oliver H.]

Natürlich könnte er kombiniert werden. Aber ist das sinnvoll ?

Der Nuon ist von vorneherein als eine all-in-one Lösung konstruiert. Eine flexible Plattform benötigt auch eine flexible Zusammensetzung. Es ist daher sinnvoller die Aufgaben auf verschiedene Hardwarelösungen zu verteilen.

[ZimtOchse]

@Oliver H.
Kann schon sein. Er hat 1500 MIPS (!) die auch für Spiele eingesetzt werden können und man kann HDCDs abspielen. Die coldfire CPU wäre auch beim Spielen und Abspielen von DVDs frei für alle anderen Aufgaben. Desweiteren kann eine DVD spezielle NUON Daten beeinhalten, die so natürlich am Einfachsten wiedergegeben werden könnten.

Andere Lösungen sind denkbar, leider wird man keine detailierten Auskünfte aus Hildesheim erwarten können.

ciao ZO

[ZimtOchse]

@Oliver H.
Es kann alleine schon deswegen nicht völlig verkehrt sein, weil es in der Streamaster 5000 (siehe oben) gemacht wird.

ciao ZO

[Oliver H.]

Können wir uns darauf einigen, dass ein Einsatz des Nuon zwar nicht im Kern aber in einer Peripherkomponente denkbar und sinnvoll sein könnte ?

[ZimtOchse]

@Oliver H.
erstmal stimme ich Dir vorläufig zu, möglicherweise verwendet MBX den NUON nicht. Wahrscheinlich gibt es auch kostengünstigere Lösungen. Eine Verwendung in der Peripherie macht übrigens keinen Sinn, weil die STB selbst MPEG-4 decodieren soll. Für Bildtelefonanwendungen wäre auch ein MPEG-4 Coder wünschenswert, dies kann der NUON wohl erstmal nicht leisten.

Ansonsten ist der NUON ein beachtlicher Chip: http://www.nuon.tv/

ciao ZO

[Oliver H.]

Mißverständnis: nicht Anwendung in der Peripherie, sondern Anwendung im Rahmen einer peripheren Komponente (Baukasten !!). Ich könnte mir dabei eine "Spielekarte" oder aber die MPEG-4 Karte vorstellen.

Aber dafür, muss ich sagen, bin ich zu wenig involviert. Das sind höchst interne Entscheidungen.

Ich bleibe dennoch dabei: Hauptprozessor wird der coldfire sein.

[ZimtOchse]

@Oliver H.
Ganz Deiner Meinung, der Hauptprozessor ist und bleibt der Coldfire. Aber als zusätzlichen Prozessor für DVD und Spiel kann der NUON Sinn machen. Die Motorola Streamaster 5000 besitzt ja außer dem NUON auch noch die CPU MPC860SAR.

na ist ja interessant
MIPS hat als Option den 3D Sound von Spatializer
Vielleicht habt Ihr dann ja doch bald vernünftigen Sound

[ZimtOchse]

wer ist MIPS?
ansonsten dürfte die DVD (MPEG) Klangwelt für eine STB ausreichend sein.

MIPS Technologies Licenses TeraLogic Inc. One of Its Industry Standard MIPS-based Cores for
Next-Generation Digital Television Processors


THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 2001 4:05 PM
- BusinessWire

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan 11, 2001 (BUSINESS:MIPS) (Nasdaq:MIPSB), a leading provider of industry standard
processor architectures and cores for digital consumer and network applications, today announced a licensing
agreement with TeraLogic Inc., a leading developer of integrated circuits, platforms and software for digital television
(DTV).

Under the terms of the agreement, TeraLogic will integrate a MIPS-based(TM) core into future generations of DTV
integrated circuits.

The DTV market is booming from rapid consumer adoption due, in part, to reduced unit costs and improved
performance. TeraLogic`s incorporation of the MIPS Technologies core will further enhance its leadership position with
open architecture digital consumer appliances. The company recently announced MIPS-based chipsets and
development platforms for customers who want to design and deliver sophisticated home entertainment and
information products more quickly at lower costs.

Technologies. "This agreement demonstrates the leadership role MIPS Technologies has built by providing viable
solutions that enhance the digital consumer experience."

MIPS Technologies processor cores already power leading game systems such as PlayStation2, Nintendo 64,
leading set-top boxes from Motorola (formerly General Instruments), Sony, Philips and WebTV, and emerging
consumer devices such as ReplayTV.

Wie nun jeder weiss war ich vor einem Jahr bei Onkel Henry.
Er sagte mir persönlich, dass der DIGITAL FERNSEH (TV)BEREICH sein persönlich besonderes Augenmerk (Interesse) verdient.
INTERNET wird sich in Zukunft nicht mehr im BÜRO sondern im Wohnzimmer abspielen am FERNSEHER mit allen Spielen und
logischerweise mit 3D SOUND.
-------------------

Sorry aber diese NEWS ist eine REVOLUTION
Spatializer WKN 892725 ist als Option in der Chipstruktur drin.
Spatializer entwickel Schlatkreise (Software) für einen 3D Surround Sound
Eine räumlichen Klang mit nur 2 Boxen.
Meine logische Schlussfolgerung ist:
Wenn jemand eine Verbesserung an seinem Chip und letztendlich seinem Produkt vornehmen kann tut er es auch.
Fazit:
Ich denke der 3D Sound von Spatializer wird in den Set Top Boxen bald drin sein.
Es dient auch der Klangverbesserung
