About This Site - HD Processing Forum

Consumer electronics products which deal with digital information such as DVD recorders, and terrestrial digital television (DTV), digital camcorders have spread widely. On the Internet, not only textual information but particularly nowadays video streaming sites such as YouTube also have been gaining huge traffic.

One of such trends in digitization of information and permeation of broadband is wider use of high definition (HD) video technology, which is exemplified by HDTV; the next generation DVD such as Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD; and/or digital camcorders supporting the AVCHD specification. Currently, the number of products supporting HD video is gradually increasing in the market, which is expected to growfurther.

Moreover, in the PC market, too, the demand for HD video processing and editing is expanding. The needs are rising for PC hardware that has sufficient processing performance for HD video stream, video editing software that supports such hardware, and so forth.

Being aware of the situation aforementioned, we at HD Processing Forum are going to offer information on the latest technologies and industry trends with our own perspective in a specific way.

We assume our target audience be the engineers, researchers, marketers, and managers who are engaged in planning, design, research, and development of high definition (HD) video/imaging products at PC and/or consumer electronics manufacturers, world-wide.

Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the market growth for HD-related equipment and contents.
