C-Cube is providing this support to manufacturers by offering MPEG-2 encode and decode drivers for Windows CE as well as sample applications for capture, playback and timeshifting. Using the newly available drivers and applications in conjunction with C-Cube's DVxplore(TM) single-chip CODEC, manufacturers can enable DVD-quality video recording as well as timeshifting in Windows CE-based home entertainment devices including set-top boxes and digital video recorders. "C-Cube is providing core digital video technology for Windows CE Consumer and PC OEMs who are entering the market for MPEG-2 record and playback devices," said Fermi Wang, general manager of C-Cube's PC/CODEC Division. "With our CODEC, OEMs gain easy access to the industry's highest encoding quality as well as the unique capability of simultaneous record and playback for timeshifting." "The ability to record and timeshift live broadcasts on the Windows CE platform is an exciting proposition for consumers," said Tony Barbagallo, group product manager, Windows CE at Microsoft Corp. "These drivers and applications offered by C-Cube will help developers create new products for the platform, further establishing Windows CE as a leading operating system for intelligent appliances." Demonstrations of broadcast recording and timeshifting on Windows CE using DVxplore will be held for the first time at the Microsoft Windows CE Developers Conference, June 6-9 in Denver Colorado.
