Lucent, Matsushita making PC tuner cards...........................

ijumpstart.com

Lucent Technologies' [LU] microelectronics group has aligned with Matsushita Electronics Components [MC] to add a tuner capable of receiving ATSC and NTSC signals to its Digital TV PCI add-in card reference design.

Compaq Computer Corp. [CPQ] and Microsoft Corp. [MSFT] are sampling components necessary for the design and demonstrated boards based on the chips at NAB last week.

The board includes Lucent's AV8100 VSB demodulator and Matsushita's CT-10 tuner, which can work to decode all 18 DTV formats, depending on the type of MPEG-2 decoder OEMs choose for their systems. Lucent is sampling the AV8100 for $100 and expects to manufacture volume in July or August at which time the company will announce pricing. Randy Surovy, marketing manager for Matsushita, said samples of the CT-10 are available now. He said the company is in the process of lowering the price of the samples because demand is better than expected, but the cost has not been set. CT-10 volume shipments are expected in the third or fourth quarter. (
