TI Demonstrates How It Makes Mobile Entertainment a Reality
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Opening the door to new product
combinations for consumers, Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE: TXN) (TI)
delivers portable access to personalized content, as well as the
flexibility to share and view it with friends, family, colleagues and
classmates. With DLP(R) and OMAP(TM) technologies from TI consumers can now
use their cell phones to capture and store content, including high-quality
digital movies and console-quality video games, and then watch the content
with others via a connection to mobile, palm-sized DLP pocket projectors,
that are full-featured, yet weigh less than one pound. This week at CES
(Booth #8204), TI will be demonstrating DLP and OMAP technologies together,
showcasing the visual excitement and the future of how consumers will be
watching their personalized portable entertainment content.
The ability to share content between the handset and DLP display should
drive increased content sharing as consumers, in particular video gamers
and movie fans, will have easy on-the-go access to their personalized
high-quality video content and live TV (sports, news, etc.). Consumers can
quickly and seamlessly display their video content in larger, more
enjoyable screen sizes by connecting a DLP Pocket Projector to the
video-out feature on OMAP-enabled handsets. Additionally, gamers can share
their multi-dimensional video graphics, normally available only in
consoles, with their friends anywhere a DLP display is available.
"As consumers around the world continue to embrace mobile video, TI is
combining two of its core technologies, DLP and OMAP, to improve the mobile
viewing experience," said John Van Scoter, senior vice president Texas
Instruments and general manager DLP Products. "Just as audio entertainment
has successfully become a portable 'hi-fi' experience, we expect to see a
similar trend with mobile video devices. And by simply connecting one of
these devices to a tiny DLP Pocket Projector, 30-50" projected images are
possible, which truly delivers on the promise of mobile 'big screen'
entertainment," added Van Scoter.
The mobile phone has become the ultimate mobile entertainment center,
and with the ability to share this using a DLP display, TI is providing the
foundation for seamless content sharing between handsets and display
devices.
Using the .55 DLP chip, these micro-projectors weigh less than one
pound and offer incredible mobility. Pocket Projectors from Mitsubishi,
Samsung, Boxlight, Toshiba and ViewSonic are available at major retailers
today.
TI's OMAP processors deliver low-power, high-performance multimedia
processing to enable the kind of high-end user experience consumers expect
while watching videos or playing games at home. The OMAP platform has been
integral in defining mobile entertainment, with OMAP processors used in
high- quality mobile video applications to deliver high-performance and
power efficiency, allowing handset manufacturers to bring the entertainment
center to the handset.
