For a number of years, companies developing specialized silicon for
high-speed, near-realtime 3D rendering were few and far between. Now,
after previews at prior NAB and Siggraph conventions, Pixellexis
Systems & Technologies plans to show the shipping version of its
Redbox processor accelerator — formerly for high-end post, now suitable
for more varied application — at the 2008 NAB Show. Employing 32
TigerShark DSP processors, Redbox specs out at 57.6gigaflops and I/O
speeds claimed to reach 8GBps. Redbox will offer reprogramability and
flexibility for its DSP chipset, making it capable of a wider range of
tasks compared to systems that use non-programmable chips.
