Toshiba Shows Prototype TV Running on PS3 Cell Chip

PC World asks what happens when you take the powerful Cell microprocessor,
the chip that sits at the heart of the PlayStation 3 games console, and put it to
use inside a television? Toshiba is demonstrated just such a TV at this week's
International Consumer Electronics Show and the results are impressive.
The first and perhaps most relevant benefit of putting the Cell inside a
television is the ability to handle real-time upscaling of standard definition TV to
high-def. With a Cell-powered TV you'd be able to enjoy regular channels in
higher quality much closer to that of HD, said Hiroaki Komaki, a specialist at
Toshiba's core technology center in Tokyo.
[COLOR="Green"]Perguntaram qual é a maior vantagem de se usar o CELL (Cpu do PS3)
num televisor... a resposta é que com o CELL a tv tem a capacidade de
fazer um upscalling de uma imagem SD ficar bem próxima de uma imagem em
HD.[/COLOR]
The upscaling doesn't stop there. The same feature can be used to zoom in on
an area of an HDTV picture, enlarge that single area, and then improve it's
image quality. Imagine zooming in on a home movie of a sports event and
getting closer to the action.

[/COLOR]
The Cell also makes it possible to easily navigate a number of video channels
simultaneously. In a demo at CES, the chip was streaming 48 chapters from a
standard-definition video file in real-time, with each appearing as a video
thumbnail on the screen. Clicking on one of the clips would bring it up on the
lower half of the screen, with 16 chapters still running in the upper half.
Another push on the button would move it to full screen.
[COLOR="Green"]O CELL faz possível uma navegação mais simples.. rodando 48 canais
simulatâneamente com imagem SD... clicando em um dos clipes ele ocupa
a metade de baixo da tela, enquanto os outros canais continuam rodando
(minha LG mostra até 4 canais simultâneos.. mas só exibe 2 rodando a imagem
normalmente... fica a imagem da TV 3 PIPs na lateral.. e eles ficam se
alternando em qual vai exibir o canal sequencialmente.)[/COLOR]
If the video streams were HD, it would be able to process six in real-time and
display them on the screen, said Komaki.
[COLOR="Green"]6 vídeos em definição HD podem rodar simultâneamente... (meu PC mal aguenta 1 haha)[/COLOR]
Toshiba still hasn't decided exactly what features it will build into a Cell-based
TV, nor has it decided when such a set will go on sale. One thing Toshiba isn't
planning on doing is building a PlayStation 3 gaming system into its TVs. The
chips may be the same but Komaki said such a combination isn't likely.
[COLOR="Green"]A Toshiba ainda não sabe quais serão todos os features da tv baseada no CELL,
nem quando será lançada, mas não pretende lançar uma TV com o PS3
embutido, porque apesar do mesmo processador, a combinação de hardware é
diferente.[/COLOR]
The company has been chasing the idea of Cell-based consumer electronics since
it signed on with Sony and IBM to develop the chip in 2001.
