Welcome to SMASH IT

TI’s SMASH IT online video series is a cross between Wayne’s World, teardowns of your favorite products and a demolition derby. The series features hosts Taj and Bentley in “the cage” using brute force and their own brand of humor to show how TI products play across the board, in every aspect of the signal chain.

Episode 9: LCD TV
SMASH IT hosts Taj and Bentley wrap up the first season with a bang – smashing an LCD TV. Whether tapping into DLP® technology, DSP based digital media processors, core processing solutions, or high performance analog components, a high level of integration, flexibility and ease of use are needed for the rapidly evolving TV market place. Leveraging high performance audio-video CODECs, graphics acceleration, communications and support is essential for the convergent applications designed into and around the home entertainment experience.
