The Broadcom "Crystal HD" BCM7001x series video decoder chips look very promising. Decodes mpeg2, H.264, etc. up to 1080p TDP of ~2 watts
Drivers are available for OS-X, Linux and virus-server, so the info needed to create BSD drivers should be available. Firmware is appariently binary-only, grumble. http://www.broadcom.com/products/Consumer-Electronics/Netbook-and-Nettop-Solutions/BCM70012 http://www.broadcom.com/products/Consumer-Electronics/Netbook-and-Nettop-Solutions/BCM70015 http://www.broadcom.com/support/crystal_hd/ http://www.logicsupply.com/blog/2009/11/16/the-little-pcie-card-that-could/ http://www.logicsupply.com/products/bcm970012 http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3701 http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Broadcom-BCM70015/ http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21226 _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
