Marvell and Video Central have announced that they will be collaborating on a new turnkey Blu-ray platform aimed at the high-end home theater market. The platform, which is BD-Live compatible, will utilize the Marvell 88DE2750 digital video format converter with second-generation Qdeo processing along with Videon Central's small form factor Blu-ray and DVD decoder board and industry proven middleware stack.
Besides supporting high-end video and audio Blu-ray processing, the platform will also support legacy red laser media such as DVD, DVD-VR, SVCD, VCD, and CDDA.
Todd Erdley, President and CEO of Videon Central, commented, "Videon chose Marvell and its Qdeo technology because we believe they offer the best image quality and the most flexible implementation for our Blu-ray platform. We are excited to bring cutting-edge new video technologies like Qdeo True Color to our customers."
No word on when the platform would be available for OEM production, nor if any companies have signed on to use the product.
