Victor JVC have announced [pdf link] two new HDD-based high-definition camcorders, both capable of capturing full 1920 x 1080 footage. The GZ-HD40 has a 120GB drive, while the GZ-HD30 has 80GB; each also features a MicroSDHC card slot. As of June 2008, the HD30 is the world’s smallest Full HD camcorder with a [...]
AOC are a brand more traditionally associated with computer monitors, but all that playing with LCD panels seems to have given them a taste for frivolity and their latest display is more home entertainment than home office. A 22-inch high-definition TV, the AOC 2230Fh combines HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs for the best of work [...]
Monster Cables might be a contentious brand among those who pay a lot of attention to cables, but so far they’re the first I’ve heard to be planning a combination wireless HDAV and UWB-over-Coax system [pdf link]. Developed using Sigma Designs’ UWB technology, the so-called Monster Wireless Digital Express HD system will stream high-definition media from [...]
Acer are describing their new P5260i WiFi projector as for “professionals”, but I don’t see why people in suits should have all the fun. The XGA 1024 x 768 resolution unit features WiFi b/g-based technology that allows straightforward streaming of 720p/1080i high-definition video wirelessly rather than by a dull old cable. Yes, it’s intended for [...]
Sanyo have updated their popular Xacti camcorder, introducing new “Face Chaser” technology that can recognise and keep in focus up to twelve individual faces simultaneously. The HD1010 also has a 10x optical zoom, records video in 1080i high-definition, and can capture 4-megapixel stills. Both video and still image stabilization are present, as is a 2.7-inch fold-out [...]
As VIA’s energy-efficient mobile processor range gets faster, the chips become more suited to applications other than basic ultraportable notebooks. That’s why the company has developed a new Mini-ITX 2.0 standard, an updated version of the 17cm square motherboard which has proved so popular with case modders and small-form-factor HTPCs. Mini-ITX 2.0 specifies a CPU such [...]
It’s not all Eee at Computex; ASUS have also unveiled a desktop PC bearing their own branding, the Mini PC Nova Lite PX24. The company is calling it “the world’s smallest high-definition PC”, by virtue of its compact dimensions - 242 x 184 x 51mm - and separate ATI RV620 graphics card. That’s capable of [...]
It can be tricky sometimes finding decent shows to watch in HD, but if you’re of a mind to buy the superlative display first and worry about content later, there are some people in Samsung’s sales department who would love to speak to you. The company has unveiled the industry’s first 82-inch Quad-HD LCD; that’s [...]
AMD is set to replace a large percentage of its current video card range starting from next month, according to a recent leak, as the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series supersedes the existing 3800 series. Key improvements will be the inclusion of AMD’s GPGPU physics processing, hitherto limited to the high-end cards, and improved HD [...]
Back in March, Acer rather breathlessly announced that they would be pretty much revolutionising the laptop market; in the end, they produced a new range of media notebooks, the Aspire Gemstone Blue, which while not exactly earth-shattering were still vaguely attractive and capable machines. Now, two months later, the Aspire 8920 and 6920 are finally [...]
