| First PSP On TV Photos Emerge The first photos of the new device dubbed 'PSP ON TV' are available online. This is the device announced to the public just yesterday, which will allow all Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) owners to have the choice of playing their games and movies on any television, or even on huge projection screens. slicer What does it look like? It is best described as a rectangular cone shape which covers the LCD screen. By comparison, the height of the PSP On TV is only slightly taller than the width of the LCD screen. And despite one's first impression, the somewhat odd look of the device definitely does not get in the way of your gaming experience. The buttons, directional pad, and analog stick are not hindered since only the LCD screen part of the PSP is covered. The PSP On TV captures the image of the PSP's LCD screen using a digital capture device much like a video camera's CCD (Charged Coupled Device) which converts images into electrons, and then outputs the signal to any television. To focus on the image, we use a highly technical "focus tube" which is similar in shape to the back side of a conventional television or CRT computer monitor. The company is in production mode now, with over 95% of the first production run going for sale to the Japanese market. We can expect it to be shipping to customers within 3-4 weeks, however the company's order page shows some online retailers who are already taking orders for the product. Videos of the prototype are available now, and even PSP formatted videos are available on the website. So if you already have a Sony PSP you can download the in-laboratory prototype videos which show the device being tested during earlier design phases. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
