The "new" encoder is the same one announced by VisionTech last week, which it developed in conjunction with CSK and DML.

I don't think this counts as another one. Digital Media Lab (DML) is VisionTech's (the israel company) partner. Wow. 5.2 million transistors into a 13.7 mm^2 chip! :-) Most of these companies could benefit from custom embedded DRAM or Intel-like SRAM. Their size suffers from being a majority of SRAM. A large company can do this if they had the motivation. A consumer electonics (CE) encoder has GOT TO integrate NTSC/PAL demodulators and MPEG decode capability too. Many of these hokey single-chip encoder companies do not. 'This business is for serious players only. The high end will be eaten by Cube, IBM, and highly programmable designs (Philips) anyway. CHROMAC "May your single-chip encoder overheat and irradiate you into sterility" P.S. Nadalin: you can be my side-kick Ed McMahon if you want the job. Just laugh a lot and say "yes!" to everything I say :-)
