TCPMP and Sonyhhe

[RuiDuarte]

Hi,

I've read about enabling sonyhhe... I'm confused as in another thread someone was saying: just disable video decoding and enable it again.

My TCPMP (latest version) has only Standard Display Driver and Disabled Video Decoding... does it mean I have to choose Disabled Video Decoding and than choose again Standard Disply Driver?? Will this activate Sonyhhe in RAM? What about Null Video... what does that mean?

Thanks for your feedback,

RuiD

I beleive you need a special driver file!

The NX70 doesn't have the hand-held engine (hhe?).

I thought (for what I've read) the NX70v was able to use that technology... I now noticed that it's only for TH and up.

Thanks for the enlightment

However, the NX70 has a faster processor. :-)

HHE refers to the entire processor set, like Centrino. HHE handhelds have an autoclocking low speed main processor, but also a video display card and an audio DSP. It is the GE2D video display card that is accessed by TCPMP for playback. Only the TH-55, UX-40/50, and VZ-90 have this chipset. Like Pruss says, that handheld does have a faster processor, so it doesnt need the acceleration as much, however, the GE2D processor does a much better job of scaling movies than the software method in TCPMP. It works as well as the Zodiac, though the Zodiac has an additional MPEG4 decoder chip too, and a faster main processor, which is why it is so blazing fast.

jjesusfreak01, thanks for your feedback on this.

However I would like to ask you one thing, which I find brilliant about TCPMP: battery life. My NX's battery is original and it still allows me to watch a full 2 hour movie with a single charge and still gets energy to get by. I notice however that when I use Clie's Movie Player I somehow have the idea that energy level decreases much faster than in TCPMP. Can this be true? Both using full screen and sound...
NX processor is perfectly ok. I watch movies full screen without chopping. I was just wondering if using SonyHHE would use less the processor itself thus consuming less battery energy or not - just to know.

Thanks again,

RuiD

When code is so wonderfully optimized as TCPMP's is, then it runs faster, and hence takes a smaller percentage of CPU time, and hence lets the CPU be idle more, and hence uses batteries less. I doubt the Clie Movie Player is as optimized.

I was just wondering if using SonyHHE would use less the processor itself thus consuming less battery energy or not - just to know.

Certainly--that's a major part of the point of SonyHHE.
