HD video (720p) on a netbook? With NVIDIA & Flash Player you can!

by Serge Jespers on 28. Sep, 2009 in Flash Platform, open screen project

If you’ve toyed around with netbooks, you know that they are not the fastest machines you can get these days. Playing HD video is out of the question… or… WAS out of the question. Today German site Notebook Journal posted a video showing a demo of a netbook running a new NVIDIA (partner in the Open Screen Project) graphics chip. The NVIDIA ION chip does hardware acceleration for Flash Video and – as you can see in the video below – does an amazing job at it.

The video starts by showing an HD clip on a device not using hardware acceleration. Around the 1:20 minute mark, you can see how big the difference is when using NVIDIA’s new chipset.

Caught on video: Intel set-top box running Flash Lite

by Serge Jespers on 23. Sep, 2009 in Flash Platform, open screen project

At Intel’s Developer Forum Engadget recorded a demo of an Intel (an Open Screen Project partner) based set-top box running a Flash based user interface and Flash based applications. The heart of this set-top box is Intel’s CE 3100 Media Processor which according to Engadget “combines an 800MHz Pentium M core with a proprietary video processing core all on one chip. That’s about as much power as a 1.2GHz Atom…“.

The video demonstrates the Flash UI on top of a Linux operating system. It shows how you can add Flash based applications on top of a video signal coming from the tuner and run full screen Flash based applications. The future is bright for the Flash Platform! Flash on!

If you’re not in Milan for MAX Europe, you actually missed the coolest Cocomo demo ever ;-) Andrew and I created the “Paparazzi Central” Cocomo application where paparazzi can share tips with colleagues and upload photos to share with publishers all over the world. During our demo, paparazzi in Milan were already uploading images to the application… and I thought it was a good idea to share them with you here ;-)
