And, like all great digital media markets, this one just makes good intuitive sense. Digital media consumers worldwide have a great appetite for digital content and they have a desire to move that content around the home. We believe that, necessitated by the continuing adoption of the digital video recorder (DVR) and other content storage technologies, accelerated by the rapid ramp of digital and high-definition television technologies, and enabled by the deep pockets of the telcos and cable operators, this market is poised for significant growth over the next several years and represents one of the largest-volume semiconductor opportunities in the digital media component space to date. The digital media networked The digital multimedia home network opportunity has been necessitated by the increasing ability of home—a function of recording... the consumer to record (or download) and display video content. Over the last several years consumers, especially in North America, have grown fond of recording content and storing it to hard drive solutions.

  • SIGMA DESIGNS LAUNCHES FIRST STUDIO-GRADE SET TOP BOX Soc
    SIGMA DESIGNS LAUNCHES FIRST STUDIO-GRADE SET TOP BOX SoC Delivers Unparalleled 3DTV, Blu-ray and Over-The-Top Viewing Experience MILPITAS, California — January 3, 2010 — Sigma Designs (NASDAQ: SIGM), a leading provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for delivering entertainment and control throughout the home, today set a new bar for advanced connected media players, Blu-ray players and IPTV set-top box (STB) SoCs with the introduction of its SMP8910 media processor. The SMP8910 is the first chip to integrate VXP studio quality video processing and the most flexible 3D video processing into a high-performance media processor. The SMP8910 provides more than 6,000 DMIPS via a dual-core 1004K MIPS CPU – achieving real- world performance never before possible on a STB SoC. The chip’s unique distributed processing architecture features task-optimized CPU that manage key processes, including HD multi-format video decoding, 3D graphics rendering, content protection and security management and multi-format audio encoding and decoding. This highly optimized architecture leaves more than 3,000 DMIPS of available processing to smoothly run middleware, STB applications and the latest over-the-top (OTT) applications. “The SMP8910 is a powerhouse chip that gives OEMs and ODMs the processing power to completely redefine the television experience and offer customers a visual experience that is years ahead of anything available today,” said David Lynch, vice president and general manager, Media Processor Group at Sigma Designs. For the first time, VXP, the de-facto standard for studio and professional level video post- processing, has now been included in a media processor chip.
