""We're talking to everybody in this space, and nobody that we know of has got that kind of product in the works." As the market
moves toward MPEG-2 as the format for video distribution and eventually acquisition, C-Cube is ahead of the curve. But the
company's head start is no guarantee of dominance in this emerging market. Pinnacle doesn't expect the non-linear editing market for
MPEG-2 products to peak until 2001. Research conducted by C-Cube is in line with that analysis. The company estimates the
non-linear editing market (comprised of MPEG-2, JPEG and DV hardware), will total 368,000 units this year, 594,000 units in '99,
845,000 units in 2000 and 1.3 million units in 2001. Heavy competition is expected in MPEG-2 chips from Japanese chip vendors, and
some of those product designs could show up this week at NAB. Vendors are moving toward MPEG-2 as the future of non-linear
editing because it offers more standardization than JPEG, better compression and was designed specifically to handle moving images.
Another highlight of the DVx architecture is its ability to give users control over each MPEG frame, including both intraframes and
interframes. And the chips are capable of encoding 480p or standard definition television when two are used, said Joe Sutherland, product
marketing manager of C-Cube The MPEG-2 codec require 8 MB of on-bard SDRAM and 32 to 64 MB of DRAM to operate. The 7110 will be
available for $175 in volumes of 20,000 and the 7112 will be $300 in volumes (C-Cube, 408/490-8000; Pinnacle, 650/526-1600; Fast,
425/489-5009; see MMW, Aug. 25, 1997 and Jan. 28, 1998 for related stories) "
