Chip developer Socionext will be showcasing what it says is the world's smallest 8K media player, the [/url=http://socionextus.com/products/visual-systems/8k-media-player-box-s8/]s8[/url], at Digital Signage Expo, Las Vegas March 28-29. Socionext has been working on 8K decoder and encoder chips for a number of years, as part of the NHK ecosystem.
This time it is a market ready product, not a prototype, nor a demonstrator, for the company's Silicon-on-Chip product. Digital signage being a more cost conscious market than Broadcast, or Rental & Staging.
Socionext will demonstrate a single 8K TV and a 4 x 4K panel configuration displaying 7680x4320 resolution using the Socionext "s8" media player powered by the company's SC1400A decoder. The SC1400A is the world's first 8K/60p HEVC real-time decoder LSI for 8K TV solution (ITU-R BT.2073). It features single lane of PCI Express 2.0 (Gen2) and four channels of HDMI 2.0 Tx external interfaces. The s8 player operates on the Android operating system delivering superior digital signage experience.
It is only 16" W x 2.3" H x 8.5" D, weighing 2.4kg. It consumes 50W. The player runs on the widely-supported, easily deployable Android OS and allows for Gb Ethernet or USB 3.0/2.0 input with up to 4 x HDMI 2.0 output. It features simple contents management including scheduling, status check, and contents upload with play, pause and stop control functions.
Additionally, Socionext will also showcase its unique 2K to 4K up-conversion technology using the company's HV series of high-speed video-interface-bridge LSIs combined with the latest transmission technologies such as HDMI, Display Port, V-by-One suitable for TV and digital signage applications. The technology features low latency (less than 0.1 second per frame), video-interface technology and advanced image-processing technology. Socionext will be demonstrating HDMI 2.0 interface LSI including a simple method for expanding existing 2K video to 4K with "Super Resolution" technology and V-by-One HS for reducing overall power consumption and EMI.
