I don't know. It seems that the company asked Zoran not to identify them. Which is rather stupid given that their competition can have a pretty good guess as to who they are. Only the public are left in the dark. My guess is that it is nVidia (or S3). It cannot be 3dfx or ATI, because the company is identified as "chip maker", rather than a card maker.

ST

Seems a little late if it was 3dfx, seeing as how the V3 3500 is due out in 1 month and it has MPEG encoding and a full MPEG hardware decoding option. Plus, STB probably already had or licensed IP to do this for its previous TV cards. But, maybe they bought chips to do this before and now they're rolling it into their own silicon?

So I'd guess it's not 3dfx, but it's hard to say for sure...
