Jap@n Inc has an interesting report on the CEATEC JAPAN 2004 show, held earlier in October. The event featured the latest technology products in areas such as removable storage, audio/video/displays, wireless technologies/communications and cameras.  Among the many new gizmos demonstrated, one product that caught my attention was the Panasonic next-gen Broadnow mini TV Tuner.  This prototype runs runs full D1 Video (Main Profile AVC/H.264, based on a single Media Processor), at 1.5Mbps (suitable for VDSL). The demo given at CEATEC used Moonlight's video Codec technology.  The Broadnow is of the first set top boxes supporting AVC/H.264 that will be coming to the market in 2005.
