Yes. Absolutely. I also happen to think Matrox ($1295) and others will have to come out with their consumer versions (sub $300) much sooner than they planned.

The others being (but not limited to) Avid Technology, Pinnacle Systems, FAST Multimedia and Accom.

At a price point of $199 ATI has busted the MPEG2 encoding market wide open. Including the software solutions.

Factor in ATI's margins and other components on their Bill of materials and I would have to guess the Codec is under $50 maybe even under $40.
Nobody can touch that price today for an equivelent MPEG2 encode/Decode solution.

The Sigma offering at $1000 will be competing against ATI at $199.
That's the joke.

In the PC MPEG2 encoding market space this is major news!
