SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1998--Cahners In-Stat Group expects that competitors in the PC video input peripheral market will ship more than 6.4 million units in 1998.
Comprising this market is an array of peripherals with varying and overlapping capabilities and applications, including still capture/video capture, video editing and TV tuners.
"The market is split between external peripherals that are easy to use, and internal peripherals with high-performance. Universal Serial Bus (USB) will significantly improve the video quality of external peripherals while maintaining ease-of-use and installation," said Mark Kirstein, director of the Computer and Convergence Group.
"IEEE 1394 will ultimately enable external peripherals to match the video quality of PCI-based cards. IEEE 1394 will also play a key role in digital video (DV) editing." As a result of significant performance and ease-of-use improvements, these buses will boost the market.
According to Cahners In-Stat Group, Digital TV has tremendous potential to boost the TV Tuner market as well as play a significant role in data broadcasting. "PC-based tuners will be the lowest cost option for viewing DTV broadcasts," explained Kirstein. Additionally, while the editing market is currently embracing 1394/DV, MPEG editing solutions will be available in the long term.
