Toshiba technology to upscale YouTube videos

15 March 2009 12:45 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 2 comments

Toshiba has announced that they are currently working on technology that will upscale YouTube videos when played back on an HDTV.

"I saw new technology [from Toshiba] that will improve YouTube videos for playback on a TV when I was in Japan", said Andy Bass, Toshiba's UK boss.

"We've had good old fashioned nice products", added Bass, "In 2009 you will see a more stronger line-up from us".

There was no word on when the technology would begin shipping with sets, but a 2009 launch is expected.
