Nvidia licenses VIP core for video interface

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Innovative Semiconductors Inc. here said
today it has licensed the Video Interface Port (VIP) core to Nvidia Corp.,
which will incorporate it in its future 3-D graphics chips.

VIP, an open Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standard,
specifies the interface between graphics controllers and video devices. As a
universal standard, VIP meets the industry's demand for compatibility,
low-cost and high performance. VIP also offers an upgrade path to support
emerging applications such as HDTV and Codec (Digital VCR).
[i.e., "Daughtercard"]

"I welcome Nvidia to our growing list of VIP core licensees," said Nabil
Takla, president of Innovative. "VIP has gained widespread industry
support, and I am glad that we can help our customers meet their goals in
time-to-market, validation, and compatibility."
