As you know, Zoran does not manufacturer set top boxes; rather it created the SupraHDTM640 Reference Board, which includes a DTV receiver on a chip. (See the enclosed brochure.) It also has a complete ATSC DTV Reference Design that could be easily used by original equipment manufacturers to build large quantities of low cost converter boxes. Zoran has a great deal of experience in producing full-function low-cost integrated circuits for various consumer electronics devices. Last year it produced silicon chips to enable some 42 million DVD players. That chip is a large part of the reason why a progressive scan DVD player can be purchased for $39.88. (See, e.g., Kenwood model DF-3080s at htt~://www.~ann~.com/shoo/servlet/item/f81099939% c=PriceGrabber) Accordingly, Zoran can provide the following predictions about DTV converter box costs at wholesale and retail. These estimates below, however, are highly dependent on a demand for large quantities of DTV converter boxes, in excess of 100,000 per month, towards a goal of deploying boxes at least in all households dependent on analog broadcasts by the end of 2006.

  • Industry Consortia
    INDUSTRY CONSORTIA International Color Consortium® (ICC) The International Color Consortium (ICC) was established in 1993 by eight industry vendors for the purpose of creating, promoting and encouraging the standardization and evolution of an open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform color management system architecture and components. The outcome of this co-operation was the development of the ICC profile specification. The intent of the International Color Consortium profile format is to provide a cross-platform device profile format. Device profiles can be used to translate color data created on one device into another device's native color space. The acceptance of this format by operating system vendors allows end users to transparently move profiles and images with embedded profiles between different operating systems. This permits tremendous flexibility to both users and vendors. For example, it allows users to be sure that their image will retain its color fidelity when moved between systems and applications. Furthermore, it allows a printer manufacturer to create a single profile for multiple operating systems. The Chairman of the ICC is Craig Revie of Fuji Film Electronic Imaging. The Vice Chairman is Michael Rodriguez of RR Donnelley. Phil Green of the London College of Communication is the Technical Secretary. NPES The Association for the Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies serves as the Administrative Secretariat. See the following page for a complete list of International Color Consortium members. Additional information on the ICC is available at http://www.color.org. ISO TC 130/JWG 7 - Colour Management The International Color Consortium (ICC) entered into discussions with ISO TC130 regarding an interest in having the ICC specification become an ISO standard.

  • 12 MULTICHIP MODULES (Mcms)
    12 MULTICHIP MODULES (MCMs) HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Virtually every large computer manufacturer, telecommunications products manufacturer, high volume consumer electronics manufacturer and aerospace products manufacturer is working on or considering designs that include multichip modules. There has been a dramatic increase in activity over the last five years, with entire conferences being dedicated to multichip modules. MCMs have gone through three phases in their growth. Phase one was the widespread use in mainframe and super computer products. Some examples of MCMs used for these high-end applications are shown in Figure 12-1. The primary driving force was performance. These systems were predominately ECL based, with relatively low inte- gration levels. The MCM implementation allowed the Òre-integrationÓ of the LSI chips into VLSI modules, while keeping the wiring delays small. Source: DEC Source: IBM Source: Motorola/Siemens Source: ICE, “Roadmaps of Packaging Technology” 22555 Figure 12-1. Early MCMs in ECL Mainframe Computers in the Mid 1980Õs INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ENGINEERING CORPORATION 12-1 Multichip Modules (MCMs) Using a conventional single chip package and circuit board interconnect strategy, the package and interconnects took up over 50% of the timing budget. Decreases in the chip delays could not have much impact on system performance without a significant decrease in the interconnect delays as well. The use of MCMs reduced the interconnect delays significantly. This is shown in Figure 12-2 com- paring the delays in the IBM 3033 with a CPU using single chip packages and four circuit boards, and the IBM 3081, the first mainframe that used the Thermal Conduction Module (TCM).

  • Discrete Semiconductor Products Fairchild@50
    Fairchild Oral History Panel: Discrete Semiconductor Products Fairchild@50 (Panel Session # 3) Participants: Jim Diller Bill Elder Uli Hegel Bill Kirkham Moderated by: George Wells Recorded: October 5, 2007 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X4208.2008 © 2007 Computer History Museum Fairchild Semiconductor: Discrete Products George Wells: My name's George Wells. I came to Fairchild in 1969, right in the midst of the Hogan's Heroes, shall we say, subculture, at the time. It was difficult to be in that environment as a bystander, as someone watching a play unfold. It was a difficult time, but we got through that. I came to San Rafael, Wilf asked me to get my ass up to San Rafael and turn it around or shut it down. So I was up in San Rafael for a while, and then I made my way through various different divisions, collecting about 15 of them by the time I was finished. I ended up as executive vice president, working for Wilf, and left the company about a year and a half after the Schlumberger debacle. That's it in a nutshell. Let me just turn over now to Uli Hegel, who was with Fairchild for 38 years, one of the longest serving members, I believe, in the room. Maybe the longest serving member. Uli, why don't you tell us what you did when you came, when you came and what jobs you had when you were there. Uli Hegel: I came to Fairchild in 1959, September 9, and hired into R&D as a forerunner to the preproduction days.
