MPEG-2 Decoder Chip Market Share for On-Line Network Applications [edit] 1998: Units Revenue %Share Rev %Share Units STM 12.1mm $203.0mm 71.77% 68.24% LSI 2.1mm $29.6mm 10.48% 11.79% Cube 1.7mm $24.1mm 8.54% 9.61% Phillips 1.3mm $19.0mm 6.72% 7.55% [end edit] The vast majority of MPEG-2 decoders for on-line networks are Main Profile at Main Line (MP@ML) decoders as opposed to Main Profile at High Line (MP@HL) decoders. However, HDTV converter set top boxes require a MP@HL MPEG-2 decoder. ST Microelectronics' latest MPEG-2 decoder, the STi7000, is geared toward the HDTV set-top box market. Philips is also touting the TriMedia processor as an MPEG-2 decoder solution for this market. LG Semicon has developed an MP@HL MPEG-2 decoder in cooperation with Zenith Electronics who is manufacturing HDTV sets and set top boxes. VM Labs and Equator Technologies are also offering media processors as set top box MPEG-2 decoding solutions. The VM Labs NUON chip is part of Motorola's Streamaster set top box architecture. In January 1998, Mitsubishi and Lucent announced a jointly developed DTV chipset that uses an MPEG-2 decoder from Mitsubishi. Matsushita has also developed a single-chip digital TV decoder for internal use. Motorola has partnered with Sarnoff, who was involved in setting the U.S. DTV standards, to develop semiconductors for digital television. Motorola has licensed Sarnoff's research and technology, and Sarnoff will provide design assistance and development support. Several MPEG-2 decoder chips have resulted from the partnership. Motorola's MCF40001 combines an MPEG-2 decoder, AC-3 audio decoder, graphics processor, and transport demultiplexer. The chip is targeting all types of digital video set top boxes. Motorola is also offering the MCT4000, which is a MP@HL MPEG-2 decoder for HDTV processing.
