Another revolutionary product has been showcased at IFA 2006, the largest European consumer electronics fair that is taking place in Berlin, Germany. The latest development is achieved by ATI and is named Xilleon 260. This is the first System-on-a-Chip that is able to support SD (standard definition) and HD (high definition) for worldwide DTV (digital television) standards including Europe, Japan, Korea and North America.

Xilleon 260 is an enhancement brought to the previous model, the Xilleon 240, and comes with advanced features such as HD deinterlacing, 3D comb filter, dynamic contrast, noise reduction, sharpness, and color control to deliver enhanced end-to-end performance designed to help consumer electronics manufacturers meet the high quality video and audio expectations of home theater aficionados.

Besides the powerful video pipeline for SD and HD content, Xilleon 260 also provides a full audio subsystem for home theater applications.

"Xilleon 260 addresses the needs of worldwide TV manufacturers for mainstream and high end applications," said Dave Di Orio, Vice President & General Manager, DTV Group, ATI Technologies Inc. "Xilleon 260 incorporates all the key technologies in a single chip solution that help to reduce the overall TV design cost compared to traditional multi-chip solutions. We're confident that Xilleon 260 reaffirms ATI's technology leadership position in the DTV market."

Xilleon 260 is currently available in samples for all developers interested in it.
