There something buried in the this technical mumbo jumbo me thinks... "Full-Duplex" is something that sounds like something in need of a a "Codec". ADVISORY/Philips Semiconductors to Demonstrate New Full-Duplex IEEE 1394 A/V Link Layer Controller at 1394 Developers' Conference 06/01/1999 Business Wire (Copyright (c) 1999, Business Wire) --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WHAT: Philips Semiconductors' 1394 link layer controller, the PDI1394L21, offers on-chip support for the latest digital interface standard for consumer electronics products, IEC 61883 and is unique in its support for processor-based MPEG -2 data manipulation . This important feature was included in direct response to processor-based application market trends. It is a clear demonstration of Philips Semiconductors' understanding of audio/video market demands and its commitment to developing leading-edge 1394 silicon for A/V applications. WHEN: June 2-4, 1999 WHERE: 1394 Developers' Conference San Jose Fairmont 170 S. Market Street San Jose, CA Booth No. 226 The Demo Gallery will be open from 12:30-2 p.m. PST and 5:30-8:30 p.m., Booth No. 226, on Wednesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 3. The Developers Conference showfloor will be open to the public 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. PST Wednesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 3, and Friday, June 4 from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. BACKGROUND: The 1394 Developer's Conference is sponsored by the 1394 Trade Association, which was founded in 1994 to support the development of computer and consumer electronics systems that can be easily connected with each other via a single serial multimedia link. The IEEE 1394 multimedia connection enables simple, low cost, high bandwidth isochronous(real time) data interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronics products such as camcorders, VCRs, printers, PCs, TVs, and digital cameras. With IEEE 1394 compatible products and systems, users can transfer video or still images from a camera or camcorder to a printer, PC, or television, with no image degradation. The 1394 Trade Association includes more than 170 companies and continues to grow.
