LONDON - Friday, August 8th 2014 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Latest advances in 8K (Super Hi-Vision), including 120 frames a second, to be unveiled at IBC2014.

In what is sure to be an incredibly popular demonstration at IBC2014, Japanese public broadcaster NHK is once more demonstrating its 8k Super Hi-Vision television system, including the latest enhancements such as high frame rate resolution.

8k Super Hi-Vision is a dramatic leap forward in video and audio technologies, featuring 16 times the resolution of today’s HD, and 22.2 channel audio. NHK has been leading its development, and first brought a theatre demonstration of the system to IBC in 2006. Since then IBC has seen many milestones in 8k, including the first international links – from London and Torino to Amsterdam – at IBC2008.

In 2008 NHK won an IBC Special Award for its work on 8k, and in 2012 NHK Science and Technology Research Laboratories were th ... Read more »

TOKYO - Friday, August 8th 2014

Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced the launch of TB67S158, a dual unipolar motor driver IC for stepping motors. Sample shipments start today, with mass production scheduled to start in October.

The number of motors and driver ICs required in products including amusement machines, home appliances and industrial equipment, is growing. On top of this, manufacturers are being asked to downsize equipment to save space and cut energy consumption. As a result, driver ICs are increasingly expected to play multiple roles in driving motors.

Toshiba’s current driver IC “TB67S149” can control only one unipolar motor, but the new “TB67S158” can support dual motor control by incorporating an 8ch-MOSFET. For example, by setting the output to the constant voltage contro ... Read more »
