DivX announced it is working with AMD toward certifying certain Xilleon processors, which could add native DivX functionality to next-generation digital TVs or set-top boxes.

Xilleon is a system-on-a-chip MIPS processor found in set-top boxes and digital TVs. It was formerly a project of ATI, but when AMD recently acquired ATI, it absorbed the Xilleon brand as well. DivX and AMD have not come to a decision yet as to which of the growing Xilleon line will be certified.
Recently, AMD announced a new line of Xilleon panel processors, promising advanced motion compensation and frame rate conversion for future LCD digital TVs. Using the processor should amount to an even clearer picture for displays, or what AMD called “20/20 television.”
The new AMD Xilleon 410, 411, 420 and 421 will support video processing for 100 Hz/120 Hz TVs all the way up to full HD resolution. Mitsubishi MZW series LCD TVs already use the processor and are based on Samsung’s McFi (Motion Compensated Frame Interpolation) solution. More TV manufacturers are expected to use AMD’s chips later this year.
