ATI TV Wonder™ HDTV Tuners with ATI Theater™ 650 Technology
Overview
ATI Theater™ 650 Pro delivers highest levels of digital programming
on a single chip
ATI Theater™ 650 Pro delivers performance rivaling premium
home theater solutions. It combines advanced, world-wide video decoding, fully
integrated digital audio, digital TV support and hardware PVR functions in
a single chip. The sterling performance of the ATI Theater™ 650 Pro comes
from a hardware design envelope found only at the high end of consumer electronics
products. The 12-bit video and audio decoder with revolutionary motion compensated
noise reduction ensures clean, rich and vibrant signal processing. The motion
adaptive 3D comb filter processes color-pure and artifact-free video from slow
or fast-moving scenes providing video quality equal to what’s seen on
premium TV sets. The end result is HDTV-quality audio and video for the richest
home theatre experience.
ATI Theater™ 650 Pro is the single-chip solution that makes next generation
digital television a reality on the PC. High definition programming means big
data loads, and that can be tough on any PC acting as digital entertainment
hub. Just watching TV on a PC chews up processing cycles, but software encoding
can bring even the fastest PCs to a standstill and take a toll on notebook
battery life. ATI Theater™ 650 Pro is a dedicated hardware solution for
high definition media that carries the heavy load, freeing the computer’s
CPU to do other tasks. The dedicated media processing hardware and on-chip
memory mean dropped frames are a thing of the past. The integrated hardware
PVR function means that HTPC enthusiasts can record their favorite programming
and still have the full power of the PC at their fingertips for other tasks.
The ATI Theater™ 650 Pro clearly anticipates the needs of an international
audience. The roll-out of high definition TV standards has mandated digital
demodulation. ATI Theater™ 650 Pro leverages the advanced performance
of ATI’s Theater 311 digital demodulator, so ATI Theater™ 650 Pro
designs deliver a breathtaking HDTV signal while reducing costs and board real
estate. With an indoor antenna, terrestrial DTV is a reality. The Theater™ 650
Pro is an international player decoding NTSC, PAL and SECAM signals and supporting
ATSC and DVB-T digital TV, while the multi-standard audio encoder speaks to
a world audience.
