I think Comdex will give siii a boost next week S3 to Showcase Powerful 2D, 3D, Audio and Digital Video Solutions for Desktop, Mobile and Audio Markets at Comdex Audio and Visual Multimedia Demos Scheduled at S3 Comdex Booth #N117 SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- At next week's Comdex tradeshow, S3(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: SIII - news) will demonstrate its new and exciting multimedia software and hardware solutions. These include the first Downloadable Sounds (DLS) live Internet Jam Session; the first mainstream 3D business productivity applications; the first 3D notebooks from Toshiba and Panasonic, and the first solution to enable cinema quality video on PC monitors. ''We're bringing innovative technologies to Comdex that build on our industry leading 2D, 3D and audio architectures as well as proprietary S3 technologies such as Faroudja Digital Video, IDRAM design and DuoView technology,'' said Mike Nell, vice president of S3's Desktop Graphics Unit. ''By being the first -- and in many cases the only company -- to offer compelling multimedia technologies for the business desktop, mobile and audio markets, S3 is positioned to maintain its leadership position.'' Audio Come to the S3 booth to experience the first ever DLS live Internet Jam Session, featuring musicians from around the world logging onto Res Rocket Surfer. Through the combination of S3's PCI SonicVibes audio processor and the DLS specification, Comdex attendees will experience musical sounds beyond anything available today on the PC -- and they can be assured what they hear is the same as if the musicians were jamming together in S3's booth. Combining its PCI-based ''sound card on a chip'' architecture with support for DLS, SonicVibes is designed to drive the next-generation of audio applications, including real-time audio, audio conferencing and multi-gaming over the Internet. Mobile An emerging leader in the notebook market, S3 will be demonstrating two of the industry's first 3D-enabled notebooks from Panasonic and Toshiba. Both machines are based on S3's ViRGE/MX 3D accelerator, which provides industry-first technologies such as fully integrated TV-out and DuoView dual display capability to enable the development of a new generation of productivity, entertainment and Internet applications for the mobile PC market.
