Just glad the xda II is one of the few with ati imageon because video playback is really fine.
most video playback applications dont use ati imageon at all windows dont use it
and the applications have to be written to use it
pocketmvp let you deside if you want to use it but most people turn it off because it can cause issues
I've been looking for some time, but have come up empty handed. Can anybody direct me to a link that shows exactly what components are in the HTC Hermes? I'm specifically trying to find out which ATI Imageon co-processor is used, so I can optimise video encoding to make use of the ATI decoder on board. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I will gladly share my future findings for everyones benefit. :wink:
Knowing this will help us also know what software will benefit from the co-procesor i.e. GPS, Games and other 3rd Party software. Thanks in advance.
ATI 3200 co-processor it is NOT!!
Hi all. It seems no one is able to add any further info on the hardware/co-procesor of the Hermes.
I'm trying to get the on-board ATI decoder to do its job, but need to find out which co-processor exactly the hermes has. In TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player-INMO the best Multi format Media player for PPC devices) folder in the Program Files directory, you can find a file called 'ati3200'. Version 0.66 of TCPMP has such a file dated 9th September 2005; the 0.72version however has an updated file (same name) dated 22nd Febuary 2006! Obviously this has been updated with the later versions of TCPMP, but it seems evident that it is only for that version of the ATI Imageon co-processor.
Back to my point; if we can firmly establish which co-processor we have in the Hermes, we'll b that much closer to getting support in TCPMP for our hardware accellerated ATI decoder, giving us the much needed performance boost we are currently lacking in videoplayback.
Your help is still much needed, so if anyone can contribute any info relating to which ATI co-processor resides in the Hermes, please share.
Cheers all. :wink:
Edit: After having uninstalled version 0.66 of TCPMP and re-installing v0.72rc, plus all codec inluding .aac audio plugin, I forgot to make the associations in TCPMP. So when trying to play a movie I encoded to MP4 (using ImToo DVD 2 iPod Converter) I noticed that WMPlayer plays back the movie file flawlessly without even a single jerk during forward/rewind searches or pause & resume playback. There are NO lip-syncing issues at any time either. It may be premature to say so, but it seems that MP4 hardware accelleration is taking place with the ATI decoder in WMP10 but TCPMP strggles to do it with the same codec but is able to play the file in the inferior RWFRAMEBUFFER mode, which also results in playback being jerky, fuzzy, scrambled etc; therefore indicating that the problem does in fact lie with TCPMP, especially as it only seems to support 1 of the many types of coprocessors in ATI Imageons range!
Not exactly the result I was hoping for, in that this excellent playback cannot be currently achieved in TCPMP. However, I welcome anyone to try it and see for themselves. However WMP10 lacks the settings of TCPMP and where some films may be a tad bit too dark or undersaturated, TCPMP can easily deal with this in its 'Colour' menu under Options settings.
Imageon 2282 it is then. Dissapointed!!
Well at long last thanks to mikechannon for the internal pics of a TyTN, we now know it's a ATI 2282 Co-processor:

Well I'm somewhat dissapointed as ATI have considerably more powerful chips that Samsung/HTC could have used, but the benefits are nonetheless worthwhile as it takes the strain off of the main CPU.
Now to let Corecodec know, so they can hopefully implement compatibility with TCPMP and the ATI hardware chip.

It's been 2 months, so I wouldn't count on that
Did you try TCPMP on Trinity ? Because on mine the screen is flashing and I can't see trought pocket controller too.
Before I've jammin and It work with no problem.
I use tcpmp 72rc1
Any help ? :_)
Thanks
Change video settings to direct draw
thanks a lot .....

Direct Draw didn't work for me (actually made it worse). The video driver mode that seems to work best (at least on my P3600) is Raw FrameBuffer.
I set the video at GDI and its working fine. My TCPMP is ver 0.81RC1Beta
on my side all the settings are working more or less.
I already got some fuzzy screen but when I press stop (actually I don't see the button but if I press on the place it stand usually ..) the screen is OK.
Now when I watch TV broadcast from my PC (with my internet provider) in mpeg1 384kbs it is better with direct draw than with ATI Imageon whci works better than ATI imageon decoder ....
TCPMP / Coreplayer Doesn't support the combination Samsung CPU ATI Imageon chip, in Coreplayers forum their is a lot of information about that, they are trying to get info about the chip from ATI but no luck yet. Raw Framebuffer seems to work, but gives a really slow TCPMP/Coreplayer. Until the problems are solved I use to convert my movies to "Ipod" format .mp4 wihich Mediaplayer in Trinity supports through the ATI chip, an .mp4 file of 768kbps and 30fps runs smooth in WMP

MP4, huh? I'll have to try that out. WMV playback in Windows Media Player is still slow and sucks just like TCPMP/Coreplayer.
Hi guys, I'm trying to track down the source of this problem. Right now I can't seem to fix a problem where audio lags behind video by a short amount of time. I've tried TCPMP 0.72RC1 and CorePlayer 1.04 and both of them have audio/video sync problems. I don't have access to CorePlayer 1.1.1 right now and I'm not willing to pay $25 for a product which I haven't tested for myself to see if it works yet.
So, anyways, what I have here is an a DivX encoded MPEG4, bitrate about 600kbps, audio is 128kbps stereo MP3. I've tested both TCPMP 0.72RC1 and CorePlayer 1.04, both have the same problem. I don't know why I can't seem to adjust the audio/video offset to have negative values, every time I put a negative value in, it always reverts to positive when I close the Preferences. Also for some reason I don't have the ATI Imageon Decoder option in Preferences, I only have access to DirectDraw right now. I don't know if that's because I only have the Smartphone version of CorePlayer 1.04.
This is with WM6, vp3G 3.0.0 ROM (includes the ATI Imageon fix).
Can anybody help me out here?
Well, just following up with OP, I did find a copy of CorePlayer 1.1.1 and not only does it work correctly with ATI Imageon with acceleration enabled (unlike TCPMP 0.72RC1 and CorePlayer 1.04), but I can set audio/video offset to a negative value in Preferences now! If I set offset to -0.200s then the audio and video looks in sync for me.
Interestingly, with ATI Imageon acceleration enabled, my benchmark for my MPEG4 video encode went from 172% in DirectDraw mode to 525% in ATI Imageon mode. So I guess maybe that damned ATI Imageon chip is useful for something after all. Too bad TCMCP isn't being updated anymore, but I'm glad somebody is working on CorePlayer to make it better, even if it costs money.

have any 1 try this? seems to work better than ati driver and provides DIVX codec on WMP
its already being discussed here:
