Toshiba has pulled the plug on their much anticipated Cell TV which was due to be launched in Australia by Xmas. The device which uses the same processor as the Sony PS3 and the Xbox 360 was capable of delivering 3d without glasses and recording up to 8 HD TV channels at once.
The startling news was broken by Atsushi Murasawa, head of Toshiba visual products at the European IFA show in Berlin overnight after he revealed a brand new 400Hz processor codenamed Cevo, which he claims will allow Toshiba to deliver 3D TV without glasses by as early as the first quarter of 2011.
The new technology is tipped to be shown at the Ceatec show in Japan in October and officially launched at CES 2011.
Murasawa said in Berlin “Glasses free 3D? Yes, sure, but as of today we are not ready to come to market with glasses-free, but we are going to make some announcement about glasses free 3D in the small screen sizes in October…Ceatec.”
the new Toshiba 55ZL1 Cevo powered platform is said to be the most advanced TV processor in the world which Murasawa claims delivers smoother images and 512 LED clusters for local dimming, which Toshiba claims delivers perfect black reproduction. He said that the design of the process also delivers a “lower level” of crosstalk which is ideal for 3D TV reproduction and is cheaper to manufacture than the Cell processor.
Four weeks ago local Toshiba CEO Mark Whittard was claiming that the Cell TV was set to be launched in Australia by Xmas.
