Broadcom’s Crystal HD Enhanced Media Accelerator is a PCI-E card that will let netbooks with low power processors like the Intel Atom handle HD video playback at resolutions up to 1080p. Normally the processors found in netbooks aren’t up to the task, but the Broadcom video accelerator takes most of the heavy lifting away from the CPU, freeing it up for other tasks.

The video accelerator can decode H.264, MPEG-2, and VC-1 video. The first netbook that I know of that will use the processor is the HP Mini 110 which is due out next week.
