In order to get Sony's biz, LSI Logic had half of its design team in Japan............ techweb.cmp.com <<U.S. chip vendors stand to get most of the Japanese market for MPEG-2 decoders for DVD players because the nation's consumer electronics makers don't like to buy silicon from their major competitors. One early example is LSI Logic's MPEG-2 decoder, which in its first major design win was used in Sony's 2nd generation DVD player introduced this past week in Japan, David Lammers writes in EE Times. The Sony player is priced at $450 and up, a big price drop from early Sony DVD players costing $1,000. Because of such price declines, the DVD player market should roughly triple this year to 2.5M units. LSI Logic says its engineering presence in Japan helped convince Sony to buy its new decode engine, which will cost less than $25 in volume. About half of LSI's design team for the decoder is based in Japan. >>
