Oh, Gag me C! Mediamatics has been selling to most of C-Cube's competitor's the design for their chips, or licensing the core. SGS Thomson has dominated Settops with it. Now Sigma is doing well in DVD-PC. This chip is for DVD players. No fat CPU to handle the decode. Software DVD decoders are limited to areas where you have a lot of extra CPU headroom.

Comforting words from Walt... I'm not so sure about that last sentence tho' --------- C-CUBE CFO SAYS R&D INCREASE NO BIG DEAL. 01/25/99 Computergram International COPYRIGHT 1999 ComputerWire Inc. C-Cube Microsystems Inc, whose shares dropped more than 20% Friday after several analysts downwardly revised earnings expectations, insists that the market has blown the situation at the company out of proportion. The shares fell $7.0625, or 23.79% to close at $22.625. Chief financial officer Walt Walczykowski explained that investor concern is mainly over planned increases in R&D spending and integration costs following the acquisition of TV/Com (see separate story). Although he would give no specifics, Walczykowski said that the TV/Com deal was a small one and insisted that the share price plunge wasn't exactly justified given the amount of planned R&D increases. He points out that the company met fourth-quarter expectations and says that top and bottom line growth are a reality for the company "for 1999 and beyond."
