Matsushita Unveils Chip Optimized for 3G Wireless February 6, 2001 8:23 am EST TOKYO (Reuters) - Matsushita Electric Industrial Co Ltd (6752.T) unveiled on Tuesday a chip with low power consumption that can simultaneously processing digitized moving images and is targeted at advanced wireless products. The electronics giant's large-scale integrated chip (LSI) combines several components and functions previously only available in separate chips, and will greatly reduce the size and weight of chip-dependent products such as cell phones and digital still cameras. "Advanced video communication, such as simultaneously displaying and playing back moving and still images, is now possible on videophones and other devices designed for Internet browsing," Yuji Kakinuma, director of Matsushita's LSI development division, told reporters. Although previous chips were capable of processing digitized moving images in the MPEG-4 format, Matsushita says its new chip is the first to be able to handle multiple video streams on a single chip. MPEG-4 is the next-generation digital video standard developed by the moving pictures expert group, an industry body. Multiple video processing is important because it is essentially what is needed to efficiently conduct video conferences with devices such as cell phones fitted with tiny cameras. Matsushita said the chip will be able to process moving images transferred at a rate of 384 kilobits per second. That is six times faster a standard home connection to the Internet and is the data transmission rate that will be available when 3G or third-generation high-speed wireless Internet services begin in Japan this May. The announcement came an hour before Matsushita Electric's shares closed for trade at 2,535 yen or 0.2 percent higher -- bucking a 0.86 percent decline in the benchmark Nikkei 225 (.N225) average.
