we featured the news release Controller has universal appeal for IR remotes from
Zilog: "Universal infra-red remote control system can be easily integrated to any digital device to provide immediate remote control capability".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Zilica
concerning its Nextchip NVP1004
- take a look at Video convertors promote top picture quality
which says: "The NVPxxxx series of decoders and encoders represent the latest generation of video A/D and D/A convertors from Nextchip".
Take a look also at the news release from LSI Europe, Processor gives DVD recorders a global dimension,
as well as Software suite develops universal IR controls from Zilog,
and DVB middleware adds digital television recorder from Cabot Communications.
