LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 1997--OPTi, Inc. (NASDAQ:OPTI) announced today that it is shipping the OPTiSound 82C933 chipset. OPTi will be demonstrating these breakthrough audio technologies in the QSound Booth No. M288 located on the upper level of the Sands Convention Center. The OPTiSound 82C933 chipset combines 64-Voice Wavetable Synthesizer, QXpander 3-D spatial from QSound Labs, QSoft 3-D positioning. The OPTiSound 82C933 is an ideal ISA audio solution for desktop, mobile, and embedded audio, internet gaming, and music composition and synthesis applications requiring a high level of integration and exceptional sound quality. It is a single chip Plug-and-Play ISA audio processor that provides integrated 3-D audio that maintains compatibility with the current installed base of legacy applications. "These technologies represent the tangible demonstration of convergence between the PC and the Home Theater/Entertainment Electronics markets," said Patrick Ang, president of OPTi's Multimedia Division. "Their incorporation into OPTiSound products positions us well for our ultimate crossover from the classic PC market into the new digital infrastructure for home electronics." The 82C933 is an ideal building block for advanced audio solutions. The MPU-401 port supports external MIDI devices such as hardware wavetable and keyboard interfaces. One asynchronous I/O port support Zoom Video, hardware wavetable, speaker phone, modem interface, Digital CD-In, and DSP data. The high level of integration of the OPTiSound family eliminates the requirement for additional memory, codecs, 3-D, and most discrete components, which minimizes the design effort as well as the total cost of implementation. Shipping in production quantities now. Pricing at $6.00 each for 50,000 quantity.
