J. Sigma says that they have 49% market share of the desktop PC MPEG-2/DVD decoder market.................................. realmagic.com The Market Sigma Designs' DVD/MPEG-2 decoders currently have a 49% market share (IDC) and are used to enable desktop computers with real-time (30 fps, television quality) video playback for video-intense applications such as training, distance learning, electronic merchandising, and entertainment. While MPEG-1 video was a relatively small and static market, the hardware MPEG-2 market is emerging quickly as corporations, developers, system developers, and system integrators realize the power of video presentation and on-line meetings. With over 60 million people on-line today, it is estimated that more than 150 million people will have high-performance anywhere-to-anywhere access by 2001. The market is projected to grow rapidly, with video-enabled sales reaching $200 million by the year 2001.

Pace............................. multichannel.com Broadband Week for October 26, 1998 U.K.'s Pace Captures Two Deals at ECC London -- European set-top manufacturer Pace Micro Technology plc snared two deals at last week's European Cable Communications '98 show here. One deal was with cable operator NTL Ltd. to supply 100,000 digital cable boxes, and the other was with Network Computer Inc. for interactive technology inside Pace digital boxes. The first Pace set-top boxes with the NCI technology will be brought to market by Cable & Wireless Communications in the United Kingdom next spring. CWC signed a deal in July under which Pace will provide 100,000 digital boxes to the cable operator. The technology alliance with NCI follows a deal that CWC signed in March through which it chose NCI's "DTV Navigator" platform as the foundation for its broadband interactive-cable deployments. As far as Pace's new digital-box order with NTL, the supplier said it will deliver the 100,000 NTL boxes over the next 12 months. Pace now has digital-box agreements with two of Britain's three MSOs. Pace also supplies digital boxes to British Sky Broadcasting, which launched its digital service Oct. 1. "We are also at an advanced development stage with our 'ONdigital' digital-terrestrial box, and we are about to embark on field trials," Malcolm Miller, Pace's CEO, said in a prepared statement last week. ONdigital launches Nov. 15.
