Ah, here it is...

C-Cube Microsystems is developing next-generation ZiVa DVD decoder that it expects
to offer in volume by 1999. Chip has greater integration of functions and adds 3-D
audio capability, company said in declining to release specs.

New ZiVa decoder would replace existing IC currently priced under $20 in volumes of
50,000 or more per month, Senior Mktg. Dir. Patrick Henry said. Aiwa and Samsung
are among those building chip into DVD players. New ZiVa will contain Spatializer
Audio Labs' N-2-2 multichannel audio algorithm that allows users to get surround sound
from 2 speakers. Pricing on new ZiVa DVD chips, expected to begin production in fall,
hasn't been set, company said.

Open Q) The set top has a lot of evolution where AViA@TV will hopefully take more of the silicon real estate. What else can be added to a DVD-CE player? Or is the idea to roll DVD into the set top?
