Sensio announced today that Zoran will integrate their Hi-Fi 3D decoding technology into new system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions for 3D-capable audiovisual products, including TVs and set-top boxes (STBs).

SENSIO® Hi-Fi 3D is a unique frame-compatible technology for high-fidelity stereoscopic signal processing, easily integrated into display products. Developed by SENSIO more than 10 years ago and deployed in the field for seven years, this mature technology has been trusted by the biggest names in content creation for every commercial live 3D event presented in cinemas around the world, as well as for high-profile console games and DVD movies. This agreement is the sixth signed by SENSIO with major semiconductor manufacturers in the past year.

Sensio and Mediatek announced they will integrate Sensio's 3D technology into MediaTek's SoC products for the 3D TV market. The new SoC with Sensio's 3D tech will target the worldwide TV market. The chip will accept 3D sources from multiple inputs, including HDMI 1.4, the Internet, and USB.

Vizio's XVT-3D TV range are finally priced, and ready for pre-order. The 42" will cost $1299, the 47" will cost $1699 and the 55" will go for $2199.

president and CEO Nicholas Routhier says that "The FIFA World Cup gave Sensio excellent exposure, enabling us to generate a substantial increase in revenues in the first quarter. On the infrastructure side, we continued our strategy of increasing our presence throughout the supply chain, signing license agreements for integration into chips destined both for production and home entertainment products"

Trident says they will use Sensio's 3D technology in their upcoming 3D TV chip, the TV550. Sensio's technology converts the 3D image into Sensio's own 3D format which then can be transmitted over any 2D channel, at the receiving end 3D-content in Sensio format is decoded into original 3D content.
