MediaTek releases a SoC for Ultra HD Blu-rays
 

MediaTek has shown Fudzilla its MT8581 – a highly integrated multimedia system-on-chip for Ultra High Definition (4K) Blu-ray players.

CES 2016 was buzzing over Ultra HD, 4K content with High Definition Range (HDR) post processing and Ultra Definition disks and players. After all UHD 4K disks will be available in seven weeks and Time Warner already announced a few disks the other day.

MediaTek came up with its own solution called MT8581 and we saw it in action. The quality is great from the short demo we saw. MediaTek claims that it is the only company with a dedicated chipset for Blu-Ray players. With that in mind, all the first players to launch later this year should have the MediaTek MT8581.
