NVIDIA , the graphics chip maker, has unveiled a new technology which it hopes will allow what it says "delivers outstanding HD-DVD and Blu-ray movie playback on PCs.
Called PureVideo HD, the new chip technology aims to combine hardware acceleration from an NVIDIA
graphics processing unit, high-definition movie player integration and HDCP feature support to make it easy for manufacturers and consumers to build powerhouse PCs that can play HD-DVD or Blu-ray movies.
"Consumer interest in blue-laser DVD technology on the PC is growing – we project that more than 35 million high-definition optical disk drives will be integrated into PCs in the next 5 years", said Wolfgang Schlichting, Research Director at IDC.
PureVideo HD technology will use high-definition movie decode acceleration (using certain NVIDIA GeForce 7-series GPUs), HDCP circuitry and HD movie player integration to deliver cinematic-quality Blu-ray and HD-DVD movie playback on a PC.
A graphics card featuring PureVideo HD technology combined with an AACS HD disk drive, an HDCP-compliant display and a PureVideo-powered HD movie player from companies like CyberLink, InterVideo and Nero make it possible for consumers to enjoy superb HD movie playback on their PC.
