Philips Trimedia going into lots of DTVs...............

techweb.cmp.com

<<Philips, a significant manufacturer of set-top boxes for the European
market, said it will ship 1 million set-top boxes and digital TVs with an
integrated decoder during 1998, but none of these will incorporate the
Trimedia. Adri Baan, president and chief executive officer of Philips
Business Electronics, said the Trimedia chip would be used in Philips's
future digital-TV products for Europe.

To support the high-definition capability of ATSC without a coprocessor,
TV makers will need to step up to the next-generation Trimedia-2 device.
The current TM-1000 decodes MPEG-2 main-profile, main-level data
streams, but requires a coprocessor to decode MPEG-2 main-profile,
high-level streams.

Philips now plans to announce its Trimedia-2 VLIW (very-long-instruction
word) architecture and to begin sampling the device in September, then to
move to volume production in 1999.>>
