Thanks, here's the excerpt for the record... For decoding MPEG-2 and AC3 (Dolby Digital audio) signals, the Dimension uses a Quadrant International CineMaster C-1.2D card, a PCI board that talks to the machine's graphics accelerator card via a pass-through cable. Full-screen, 30-fps MPEG-2 video decoding and AC3 audio decoding are both handled by C-Cube Microsystems' single-chip ZiVA DS-C decoder. The ZiVA chip is compatible with all DVD standards, and offers NTSC/PAL DVD video decoding, CD-ROM data decoding, as well as full VideoCD 2.0 compatibility. I don't think Zoran was even mentioned at all in the article.
