It seems our lovely Cell processor is getting a chance to shine in yet another commercial product -- this time, the Cell was given the opportunity for a demonstration at NAB2007 in Las Vegas from the 16th-19th of April. The little processor that could is trying to crack its way into the video processing market this time (in addition to medical imaging, ray tracing, folding@home, etc).
With its assistance, video... ah... developers? are trying to support implementation and advanced performance capabilities for video codecs like MPEG-4. There'll be brochures or whatever explaining how awesome the Cell would be in the broadcast market, so if anyone's in town for the show, try to nab one and let us know what it says. What sort of advantages do you think the Cell could offer the video market or the broadcast industry as a whole?
