Codecs package video
for USB transmission
Two new single-chip multiformat audio/video codecs allow designers to capture video content from any analogue/digital camcorder, VCR or TV tuner and send it to a PC over a USB 2.0 connection
Two new single-chip multiformat audio/video codecs, the DMN-8100 and DMN-8150, allow designers to capture video content from any analogue/digital camcorder, VCR or TV tuner and send it to a PC over a USB 2.0 connection. Content can then be captured, edited, and archived on a CD, DVD, Flash card or DV tape.

The DoMiNo-based product family is enabling a new class of PC peripherals that combines the functionality of multiple PCI cards into one cost-effective, plug-and-play, easy-to-use external device.
Target applications for the DMN-8150 include the conversion of any analogue videotape to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compression formats for VCD and DVD archival.
The DMN-8150 codec supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and the low bit-rate MPEG-4 compression standard that addresses consumer requirements for sharing video over the Internet.
The DMN-8100 system-on-a-chip codec offers a higher level of integration by incorporating IEEE1394 link and DV codec functionality.
It is the world's first chip capable of converting standard DV-25 digital video input (which is popular in today's camcorders) to high-quality MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 compression files in real time.

"With the recent surge of DVD recordable drives in the PC space, consumers want a quick and easy way to edit their videos and author their own DVDs", said Bob Saffari, Senior Director of Marketing and Applications Engineering, Advanced Video Products, LSI Logic.
"Using plug-and-play products enabled by the feature rich DMN-8100 or 8150 solutions, consumers now have capability and flexibility to create DVDs or share their videos with friends and family over the Internet.
The advanced technology involved with MPEG-4 compression allows the delivery of files that were typically constrained by available Internet bandwidth".
LSI Logic's multi-format, highly flexible DoMiNo architecture delivers DV and MPEG codec technology, enabling high-quality, full-screen video, coupled with built-in AAC, MP3, and AC3 audio processing.
"The DV and MPEG codec are fundamental technology drivers for PC video editing and DVD authoring applications", said Michelle Abraham, Senior Market Analyst for In-Stat/MDR's Converging Markets and Technologies Group.
The Scottsdale, Arizona market research firm, In-Stat/MDR, is bullish on the market for a single-chip solution with DV transcode and multiformat MPEG capabilities in the PC space, predicting the market will grow very quickly to 1 million units by 2005.
"LSI Logic is uniquely positioned with their DoMiNo media processor to be a major player in the video peripheral market".
The LSI Logic DMN-8100 codec is priced at $50 and the DMN-8150 codec is priced at $35 in quantities of 10,000.
Both codecs are available today.
LSI Logic also offers a complete reference design, "BigEYE", based on DMN-8100 or DMN-8150 to qualified customers.
