***Teralogic's Janus Chip Brings All-Format Digital TV To PCs
(April 6)

TeraLogic announced Janus which is a single-chip high-definition
DTVPC decoder that is also capable of up-converting analog cable
broadcasts and DVD movies to HD video resolution. TeraLogic also
introduced the Janus DTVPC Reference Design, which will enable PC
add-in card manufacturers to deploy Janus-based DTVPC cards this
year.

PC TV tuner card company Hauppauge will announce this month its
plans for a Janus-based DTVPC card that will ship later this year
and NVIDIA is cooperating with TeraLogic to offer DTVPC.

Janus is based on TeraLogic's TL850 HD decoder chip and is
specifically designed for the PC platform. With the Janus chip,
PC video board manufacturers can support three key multimedia
functions on a single PC board -- digital HDTV reception, legacy
NTSC broadcast and cable, and DVD playback. Janus enables OEMs to
offer full HD decode with only 8 MB SDRAM memory.
