Avivo Holiday 2005 Update @ Beyond3D

Sandok

ATI have characterised Avivo as having three distinct functions, with each of them encompassing various elements. They can be categorised as follows:

Image Quality
o 3D Comb Filtering
o 10-bit processing
o HQ TV-Out

Connectivity
o HDMI & HDCP
o Dual-Link DVI (for very high resolution displays)
o RGB YPrPb

HD Video
o Format Conversion (Transcoding)
o H.264 / AVC
o Advanced Video Playback

In the initial part of the Avivo article we took a look at an overview of many of these points, and a little at the technology that's been implemented into parts that fall under the Avivo banner. In this part of the article, covering the Avivo Winter Update, we are focusing on the HD Video processing elements.

Although ATI, over recent years, have adopted a monthly official driver release schedule, at the end of 2005 ATI released an extra set of drivers, Catalyst 5.13, specifically with updates for Avivo on the X1000 series of graphics boards, covering format conversion, Video Playback and H.264.
