- Toshiba and SGI Japan Develops World's First Full HD File-Base Program Broadcasting Systems
Toshiba and SGI Japan have developed full HD file-based TV program broadcasting systems and core broadcasting systems, including master control equipment. Until now, TV programs have typically been recorded and edited on video tape, and the various content elements, including video, audio and closed caption, have been compiled, edited and finalized and then uploaded to a playout server, a long, laborious process. Toshiba’s new equipment, incorporating a file-base program broadcasting system, supports faster transfers to the playout server, and secures vast improvements in workflow and efficiency. The system also integrates the tried and tested Omneon Spectrum media server and Omneon MediaGridTM active storage system made by Omneon Inc. and Omneon Video Networks of the US, which are in use in broadcasting systems worldwide.

- NTT DoCoMO develops Low-Power LSI chip for forthcoming Super 3G mobile system
NTT Do CoMo has successfully developed a trial large-scale-integration (LSI) chip that consumes less than 0.04 W of power yet supports multiple-input multiple-output signal detection and decoding for downlink transmissions at 100 Mbps, the speed required for the forthcoming mobile system known as Super 3G, or Long Term Evolution (LTE), approved by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Compared with chips currently used in handsets compatible with DOCOMO's High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) service, which have a maximum downlink rate of 7.2 Mbps, the new chip will enable downlinks that are more than 10 times as fast. The chip also includes error correction decoding, which requires almost the same level of complexity as MIMO signal detection.
