HD video is headed for your
auto, and just like your home, you need to be able to soak up those pixels from more than one seat. To keep manufacturers from having to pull HDMI cables through the door panels and running boards, Fujitsu has the MB88395 controller (catchy name, right?) for streaming your entertainment around the cabin over a
DTCP-protected 1394 network. At the heart of Fujitsu's silicon is the SmartCODEC, which can take a decompressed 1280x720 pixel video stream at 885Mbps and compress it down to 249Mbps with only a couple of milliseconds of delay. Never mind that Blu-ray only spits out a maximum data rate of 54Mbps, the analog hole comes through again --
just like in the home. Don't you just love copy protection?

Uh.... It does not exploit any sort of analog hole. It accepts a digital YUV output from the chip that decodes and scales the Blu-Ray content. This prevents the need to decode the possible MPEG-2, AVC, H.264, & VC-1 content at every display.
