Confusion over high-definition TV
03/22/2005 03:15 PMAccording to the BBC, just because a TV set is being sold as HD does
not mean that it actually is. The problem stems from these sets being
sold as HD without the needed adapter to make this happen. While some
people may know to ask about this, many more do not realize that is
can be an issue….

Monday.
The show of support from Microsoft is considered a boost for the
next-generation, blue-laser DVD technology, which is promoted by
Japanese conglomerates NEC and Toshiba.
Blue light, with a shorter wavelength than the red laser used in
conventional DVD recorders, can read and store data at the higher
densities needed for high-definition recordings.

Hey, who told the Times'
Circuits section about something interesting? You made us miss a
incisive column they were going to write about why spam is bad how
some people like the iPod. Instead, we got this profile of Japanese
broadcaster NHK's work to develop Ultra High Definition Video (UHDV),
the 7,680 by 4,320 pixel resolution television standard that aims to
hit 'as good as really there' levels of visual fidelity (you know, the
kind of quality so good that it makes people puke from watching it.
The awesome kind, I'm saying.) Take that massive resolution, add a 60
frame per second refresh and 22 channels of surround sound ("10
speakers at ear level, 9 above and 3 below, with another 2 for low
frequency effects") and you end up with video files that end up taking
up 3.5 terabytes of storage for just 18 minutes of footage. Don't
expect UHDV anytime soon, of course. NHK started developing HDTV,
which is just now taking hold, in the 1960s. (Thanks,
Jeffrey!)

RoomLink VGP-MR100, updated for High
Definition
01/05/2005 03:55 PM
Keeping with the fresh announcements of new Vaio
desktops and laptops today, Sony has also announced a new version of
their "RoomLink" network media player, the VGP-MR100. Because the
RoomLink requires Vaio Media Server to be installed on a the host PC,
users without a Vaio still seem to be up the creek without a paddle;
but those of you who happen to own one will likely enjoy its seamless
integration.
Connecting by either plain old Ethernet cable or 802.11b/g, the new
RoomLink has added support for playback of HD content (up to 1080i),
and now also features compliance with DLNA guidelines (DLNA, "Digital
Living Network Alliance," is an industry effort to standardize media
communications across home networks). Sony has most likely chosen to
throw in the HD support because of the release of their consumer-level
HD camera, the HDR-FX1.
Besides these two new features, it looks to be the same RoomLink
— it still plays MPEG-1/2/4 (and DivX) and WMV video, ATRAC3 and
MP3 audio, and your standard run of image formats.
