Next Gen Amiga&MorphOS need Next Gen DCTV or Graffiti

I never said anything about fpga I am not deluded.

If the built in GPU of the SAM has hardwarde HD decoding, or you can add a GPU that does then the fault lies with the Software/graphics card drivers

Right tool for the right job.

Buy a Media player which has DLNA/Upnp support for Ethernet.

Or use a £99 X-box 360 arcade.

If it were up to me I would insert twice the resolution capability of 1080p...............sure it will bring up the price...............but you will only have to buy 1 Amiga for the next 12 years...............how many times do PC and mac users buy new machines? like every 3 years or so I estimate...probably less! so they spend more money that it would cost us to shell out for an expensive Amiga.

Amiga users wont buy new machines because there is nothing to buy :-P

Do you really think that Amiga 1200 or Amiga 4000 from 1994 was still usable for anykind of productive work without buying any über expensive accelerator boards or gfx boards? Tower systems, memory expansions, new harddisks...

It would be cool if people making such claims were actually using 12 years old Amigas in its original condition. No expansions, just vanilla Amiga 1200 :-)

AMD K8 Athlon 64 2000+ @1Ghz + ATI Radeon HD 3200 was unable to playback H.264 1080p Blu-Ray (includes AACS decrypt).

Unlike NV's Pure Video 2(PV2), ATI's Unified Video Decoder 1 (UVD1) doesn't accelerate AACS stage. Purevideo 2 adds a bitstream processor (BSP) and enhanced video processor (VP2) to completely offload AACS-decryption and H.264-decoding.

The latest variants are PV3 and UVD2.

Yes, I noted that modern graphics cards are far more capable than the DCTV and Amiga graphics were/are, but can a SAM440ep with your noted Radeon 9000 play 1080p movies from hard disk without dropping frames or losing sync with the soundtrack?

Is it MPEG 2 based @1080p video? Does software stack support Radeon's MPEG2 decoder?

AmigaDave,

Neither Efika nor Sam are able to play a 1080p h264 file (and far from it). You'd need some 1.5/2GHz G4 to do so, or a dedicated processing unit.

Was it playing it back via a divx(12Mbps) format @1080p on MPC8610?

Hammer,

I really can't tell from this video.
But since h264 is way too demanding, I guess it's rather in the divx or mpeg2 category.
As a comparison, a pegasos2 G4 can already play (at full speed) 720p divx files and 1080 mpeg2 files (I only tried on a small sample for the latter though).

Nobody is talking about ading 1080p to an A1200, I am talking about a Brand new made from Scratch NexGen Amiga....absolutely all new chips...a 1200-3 if you will.

By the way.....I recently worked at a club as a VJ flipping and crunching Visuals inrealtime at will with a CD32/SX32 030 and the club also had a Mac based VJ and PC based VJ...................the guys at the club said my visuals were way better.....I ran them at 720x240 and 720x480...............the other guys at 320x240................pretty Sad that a Pentium4 and PPC G4 and G5's couldnt do better. There was slow down if they tried anything higher :-).

I still use my A1200 professionally in this way....New Years party comin up............Guess what will be running the Visuals? ;-)

Does anyone has some tech info about the DCTV? I always wanted to know how it worked, but never found anything about it
