Hitachi, Intel Reportedly To Develop Technology To Combine TVs, PCs Dow Jones Online News 01/08/98 > Hitachi Ltd. and Intel Corp. will jointly develop a personal-computer system that uses Hitachi's auto-format-decoding technology that accepts all current protocols for viewing TV programming on a computer screen, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Friday. > The Japanese business newspaper said Hitachi and Intel hope to develop an industry standard for use by ground-based digital television broadcasters. > The auto-format-decoding, or AFD, technology was developed at Hitachi's U.S. research-and-development lab. Experts of the two companies are studying the possibility of adopting AFD for personal computers that use Intel's microprocessors. If the companies reach agreement on the commercialization of the computers with AFD capabilities, Hitachi will allow Intel to use its know-how. > The Federal Communications Commission decided to let the market decide which protocol for ground-based digital broadcasting will prevail. This has resulted in 18 protocols currently competing for the industry standard.
