From: REALmagic DVD Sales Dept. To: REALmagic Partner Re: CES, Las Vegas, Jan. 6-9, 2000 Dear REALmagic Partner: Sigma Designs cordially invites you to visit us at our suite....We will proudly be showing our advanced set-top box reference designs, including brand new solutions for the Microsoft TV platform as well as high performance, standalone Progressive DVD player. The opportunities for using our MPEG-2 technology in the interactive digital TV consumer market of the 21st century are exploding. Our REALmagic EM8400 silicon product family and STB2000 design will enable interactive set-top boxes to play crisp, full-screen, full-motion MPEG-2 and DVD video in a variety of applications including digital satellite, broadband video on demand, interactive TV and DVD entertainment. The DVD market will undergo a dramatic transformation in the Year 2000 as a new generation of DVD players and HDTV sets unlock the awesome capabilities of progressive video found in today's DVD movies. Very few decoder chips made for DVD can exploit this capability, which is in powerful demand as HDTV prices plummet throughout the year. Visit us and see for yourself how incredible DVD playback is going to look with this exciting new technology. We're also excited about demonstrations of REALmagic chips being used by Clarion and Intel in their AutoPC product offerings. Sigma Designs has worked with Intel and Microsoft throughout 1999 to launch this incredible new product. AutoPC is a fantastic new automotive electronics product that offers voice-activated entertainment, computing, navigation, diagnostics, automated emergency service and hands-free telephony. The optional DVD-Video kit for AutoPC is based on our EM8220 and adds rear-seat DVD-Video playback....
