Is Bit streaming more efficient than LPCM?

The recent update to the Haali Media Splitter (enabling Dolby TrueHD in DTS-MA MKV) got me thinking about revisiting our guide to getting lossless audio off the PC.  When an interesting discussion got started about the benefits of bit streaming v. LPCM over at AVS Forum it was time to do some testing. To setup the test I muxed TrueHD, […]

MSI demoes 1080P Projector PC concept

500x_msi6_01.jpg

I’m not exactly sure why this would be limited to displaying 60" but the idea is unique. No word on actual specs or pricing, and I’m always suspect of these "all-in-one" devices given if any issues arise, but the concept is in the right place.   SlashGear Demoing at CES, MSI is “combing the brilliance of a projector with the […]

I’ve not heard of this company before, but they have an innovative little product coming out. It’s a bit costly at $300–which for that price you may be tempted to just spend a bit more and build your own, but the design is pretty minimal if that’s what you’re looking for.   Engadget NUU Media’s NUU player runs the grown-up […]

No word on cost, or any actual details on the quality, but I stumbled across this picture over at TweakNews showing off Kingston’s new USB drives customized for a particular movie (Including Star Trek) on a USB Thumb Drive. I particularly love the design ON the drive itself so you’re sure to not accidentally mistake it for another drive. If […]

CES 2010: Hands on with ActiveVideo’s CloudTV

Interesting technology thinking content distribution but managed from the cloud. I see where they’re going with this, but I think if every company used the same "cloud" service, that then the particular manufacturers would lose out on the various UI options at their discretion. The bandwidth sure is there however, so I think time will tell. HighDefDigest The advantage to […]
