Don D.- "We believe we are at least eight months to 12 months ahead of our competitors," That quote reminds me of someone.

Uh...... "The Vivace-izC, a 100,000-gate chip with on-chip memory, features two proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) cores and executes native Java Virtual Machine byte code. " "The iCompression chip comprises two tailor-made processor cores that run JVM instructions, perform audio DSP and enable and high-level video and sequencing functions. The audio DSP, integrated with an 8-kbyte SRAM, offers programmability for a variety of audio algorithms beyond MPEG-1 audio. The video DSP, integrated with 4 kbytes of SRAM, puts in double duty as a CPU inside the Vivace-izC and as a signal processor.: 100,000-gate chip? With two DSP cores, and 12-kbytes of SRAM? This I gotta see! "iCompression, with its highly integrated solution, hopes to steal some of the giants' thunder. Unlike C-Cube's planned chip, iCompression's IC does not include a decode function. " Oops. "iCompression, for its part, is targeting video e-mail, video editing and Web-based video distribution as primary desktop-PC applications for its chip." I Frame only? "iCompression's chip encodes at 2 to 30 Mbits/s but lacks VBR, and the target bit rate has to be set. Still, Kizehepat noted, "the chip has signal pins to handshake to do VBR, if statistical multiplexing is done outside. We can dynamically change the bit rate" if the stimulus is external." Single chip but if you want to do VBR add some more chips. Oh, if you need to decode add some more chips.
