SENSIO Teams With Trident Microsystems On 3D Home Viewing

SENSIO Technologies has announced a new collaboration with Trident Microsystems, a leading provider of 3D-capable set-top box and TV semiconductor solutions.
Trident's system-on-chip (SoC) and discrete semiconductor solutions target the digital home entertainment environment, and the company will be integrating SENSIO 3D technology into its products to reflect industry demand for a high-end 3D viewing experience in the home.
First among the Trident products to feature SENSIO technology is the TV550 3D TV SoC, which will be followed by the release of new 3D chips, featuring SENSIO 3D for 3D TVs.
Christos Lagomichos, President of Trident Microsystems, said: "Trident is the leader in 3D-TV technology. The upgrade of our FRC coprocessors and a front-end SoC with SENSIO 3D will equip these products to support the highest quality in 3D broadcast and streaming video. Our goal is to deliver an immersive visual 3D experience with cost-effective implementations and by supporting SENSIO's 3D technology, we can enable our customers to deliver an exceptional multimedia experience in the home."
SENSIO 3D is a unique, proprietary frame-compatible format for high-quality stereoscopic signal processing, easily integrated into TV products. Developed by SENSIO more than ten years ago and deployed in the field for seven years, this mature technology has been used in all commercial live 3D events produced around the world, and is the only proprietary format recognised by the live 3D industry.
Nicholas Routhier, President at SENSIO, said: "Our vision is that 3D TV will one day be in every home and the expansion of our network of OEM partners is bringing that day closer. Industry leaders such as Trident want the best 3D technology for their consumer products, and their choice of SENSIO 3D is speeding the format's spread across the consumer market."
