Fujitsu’s H.264 chip encodes/decodes in Full HD — a world’s first

I'm posting this more for the future potential ramifications it could have on the extender market, and hopefully meaning more support for other video formats. Always a good sign.

Fujitsu just announced a world's first H.264 chip capable of encoding/decoding 1920 x 1080 (60i/50i) video in real time. The chip features 256MB of onboard FCRAM and ultra low 750mW power draw when encoding video. That means lickity quick, MPEG-2 quality processing with only a third, or half the required storage.
