Fujitsu will also demonstrate the industry’s first large-scale IC for real-time compression and decompression of high-definition TV-level video in H.264 format. The new MB86H50 encoder/decoder IC, designed with Fujitsu’s audio and video processing technology for high-resolution recording, playback and transmission of HD video, will be shown at the booth.

Fujitsu will present its industry-leading fingerprint sensor ICs, which are being designed into biometric products ranging from the latest version of the Sentry Safe to the new Mobio®, a biometric handheld security device developed by Cryptolex Trust Systems. Also to be displayed at the booth is Fujitsu’s graphics display controller technology, developed for in-vehicle navigation systems.

“The upcoming CES provides Fujitsu will an opportunity to illustrate its leadership in the next generation of consumer electronics, biometrics and vehicle navigation systems,” said Keith Horn, senior vice president and chief operating officer for Fujitsu Microelectronics America. “The technology that Fujitsu provides in these markets is delivering a strong foundation for exciting, innovative product development.”

New MB86H50 IC Wins Early Designs

The Fujitsu MB86H50 is the first H.264 format video-processing IC to support the H.264 High Profile, Level 4.0 standard used in next-generation DVDs. It enables high-resolution recording, playback and transmission of high-definition video on audio-visual products such as portable A/V products, hard disk recorders, and home network equipment. The new device has been sampled to selected customers who will provide new products during the first quarter of 2007. The chip sample will become available in March 2007.
