<<The DVD-PC business was disappointing. Market has not taken-off, but they fully expect (like everybody else) dramatic growth in second half of calendar 1998. They expect the DVD-PC upgrade business to pick-up shortly with a Sony re-order.>> Sony announced a re-order using Sigma's board and new MPEG-2 chip. Message 3816836 <<The new bundle includes the first 5X DVD-ROM drive available on the market, a REALmagic(TM) Thriller PCI MPEG2 decoder card from Sigma Designs(R), driver software, an audio cable and two DVD-ROM titles. >> <<Another key advantage of the DVD-ROM bundle is the REALmagic DVD Hollywood III card utilizing analog overlay technology. This PCI bus MPEG2 hardware decoding solution alleviates the PC's CPU from decompressing the MPEG2 stream, allowing the CPU to multitask while the card decodes the MPEG2 signal. This card also sends the video signal directly to the computer's monitor, bypassing the computer's video card, which is often not capable of high-quality DVD output. The Hollywood III card also includes both composite and S-video outputs, making it possible to connect a PC to a television's video-in plug with an additional cable. With this feature, users are able to watch a video being played on the DVD-ROM drive on both their computer display or television. The card also features a stereo output jack as well as an S/PDIF output connector for Dolby Digital audio output.>>
