Toshiba demos applications using C-Cube DVD-RAM chip A service of Semiconductor Business News, CMP Media Inc. Story posted 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST, 3/18/99 HANNOVER, Germany -- Visitors to CeBIT today will see Toshiba Ltd. demonstrating the storage and playback of DVD-quality, MPEG-2 video via DVD RAM from C-Cube Microsystems Inc. At the Toshiba demonstration, attendees will see video transferred from a camcorder to a PC, spliced and edited in MPEG-2 with frame accuracy, then stored to a DVD disk. The demonstration will highlight the enabling technologies including C-Cube's DVxplore single-chip MPEG-2 codec, Ulead video editing software, and Toshiba's SD-W 1101 DVD RAM SCSI drive. C-Cube's DVxplore solution is the industry's only single-chip, MPEG-2 codec architecture capable of addressing the market for DVD-quality PC encoding applications, the company claims. It allows users to record hours of DVD-quality video obtained from any video source, including television, VCR, DV camcorder or analog camcorder. "The CeBit demonstration is an example of the power of DVD now available to consumers," said Fermi Wang, general manager of C-Cube's PC/Codec Division in Milpitas, Calif. DVxplore's time-shifting capability enables PC users to digitally record a TV show while simultaneously playingback video from any point in the recording. It also gives consumers the ability to perform editing functions that were previously avaliable only to professional-level editors, he added.
