ZiiLabs announces full-HD capable processor

John Chan | Nov 09, 2009

Creative's ZiiLabs today announced the ZMS-08 processor, its third-generation product that brings 1080p H.264 decoding to the table. According to ZiiLabs' specifications page, the second-generation ZMS-05 is capable of H.264 720p decoding at 8Mbps, while the new chip does H.264 1080p at 40Mbps.
