( BW)(TSENG-LABS)(TSNG) Tseng Labs Announces ET6000 Selected by
Compaq For New PC Theatre ET6000 and VPR6000 Power New
Entertainment PC
Business Editors
NEWTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 1997--Tseng Labs, Inc.
(Nasdaq:TSNG) today revealed that its ET6000(TM) graphics and
multimedia engine and VPR6000(TM) video processor were chosen by
Compaq Computer Corporation for its recently announced PC Theatre
9000.
"Compaq's PC Theatre family represents a new category of consumer
entertainment devices that delivers TV broadcasts merged with
traditional high performance PC capabilities on a large screen
display," said Monty McGraw, Director Hardware Engineering, Consumer
Emerging Markets at Compaq. "Tseng Labs' display technology enables
the high quality imaging and robust multimedia feature set critical
to establishing PC Theatre as a leader in the entertainment PC
category."
The award-winning ET6000 and VPR6000 are ideally suited to the
demands of next generation PC/TV solutions. High quality scaling and
de-interlacing of live TV deliver crisp images for full screen or
windowed displays. Tseng's proven Multi-Port Cache manages multiple
high bandwidth data streams to ensure that the incoming TV images
suffer no loss of video data, even in high- resolution display modes.
In contrast, many competitive solutions strip data from the incoming
video signal, resulting in reduced image quality or dropped frames.
The ET6000 and VPR6000 enable high quality PC/TV products like
Compaq's PC Theatre 9000 that use broadcast TV technology to deliver
Internet data, traditional TV programming and interactive
entertainment services that blend the two.
Compaq's PC Theatre 9000 is based on Intel's 200MHz Pentium
processor with MMX technology and features a 36" big-screen
multimedia monitor, full screen de-interlaced TV display,
picture-in-picture, closed caption decoder, stereo surround sound
and infrared wireless remote control with integrated trackball
and mouse. PC Theatre 9000 is available at Circuit City and
Comp USA in select launch cities.
Tseng's ET6000 and VPR6000 are also included in Microsoft's
hardware platform reference design for the recently announced
Broadcast PC architecture. Microsoft unveiled their digital
broadcasting strategy at the National Association of Broadcasters
conference (NAB '97) on April 6, including plans to deliver DirectX
API extensions with future versions of the Windows95 and Windows/NT
operating systems. Microsoft also delivered a limited release SDK
(system design kit) in February to Tseng and other partners for the
development of technologies and services combining the PC, broadcast
television, and the Internet. |
