IGS Technologies is First With Windows CE for TV Set Top Boxes at Consumer Electronics Show; CyberPro Multimedia Accelerator Demonstration For TV, Internet Access LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 1998--IGS Technologies, Inc., of Santa Clara, Calif., is the first company to demonstrate Windows CE applications for TV Set Tops, at the Microsoft Windows CE Partner Pavilion in the CES show, held here from Jan. 8th to the 11th. Set Top Box applications include digital TV, web surfing/internet access, video phone, DVD playback and 3D games. The multimedia accelerator used by IGS Technologies is the CyberPro2010, the only 2DTV multimedia accelerator that integrates a CPU bridge (FlexiBus), 64bit GUI Accelerator and an NTSC/PAL digital TV encoder (TVDirect) in a single chip. This enables the CyberPro2010 to interface directly to any embedded RISC CPU. The CyberPro2010 has a video port for video phone, MPEG/live video capture applications. Its proprietary flicker-free technology provides quality video, graphics and text output on any TV. The chip has 6 internal DACs that enable 2 TV outputs and 1 CRT output simultaneously. There are two demo systems currently available with Windows CE. One uses the AMD Elan 486 chip, and the other uses a NEC MIPS VR4300. Both have been ported by BSQUARE. IGS Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as lnteGraphics Systems, Inc.) was founded in 1993 to develop leading edge multimedia component solutions for emerging markets, including NC, Set Top, Information Appliances and PC TV. The company has since forged partnerships with the industry's leading companies and OEM customers in these emerging markets.
