The only boxes that come close to the High End of Open Cable standards are, Zenith(Cube inside) and Scientific-Atlanta's Pegasus(decode chip unknown, but Cube is part of the team). GI has always been a key cable supplier. An advanced box by them could be a contender. The AViA chip set, with the new features announced last week, could be a heavy weight(maybe even the number one contender) in the current round. SA and GI shipped almost 9 million analog boxes in 1995. The capacity is there, but needs to be converted.

Sony goggles.................................... asiansources.com Industry news Sony's A/V headset simulates big-screen TV JAPAN: Sony Corp. recently introduced its Glasstron audio/ video headset. The unit is designed to simulate a big-screen viewing experience when used with personal video systems. The headset weighs about 340g and is worn like goggles. Looking at an LCD monitor, viewers see a virtual screen that creates what appears to be a 52-inch TV viewed from 2 meters away. The unit is designed for use with VCRs, camcorders, TV tuners and DVD players, but its most practical application is expected to be its use with Sony's personal Video Walkman TV/VCRs. The headset has left/right sound separation, a boost mode, which presents extra bass for richer sound, and a surround sound mode. Although the system may be used with the Sony PlayStation and other video game systems, Sony is warning the public not to allow children under 15 to use the system. According to Sony, the technology can cause motion sickness if used in moving vehicles and cause headaches if worn for long periods of time. - December 5, 1997 Sony Corp.
