"Not only does the LSI Logic DMN-8602 enable excellent picture quality for this unit, but it also significantly reduces system-level costs and design complexity with its high level of integration", said YS Park, Vice President of Samsung.
"Consumers can now experience the benefits of digital recording technology and the simplified transfer of personal content from tape to DVD, in one product".
The DMN-8602 leverages the industry-leading integration of the DiMeNsion 8600 (DMN-8600), the industry's first single-chip DVD recorder solution.
The DMN-8602 further integrates an NTSC/Pal TV encoder and a USB controller, and requires only a single unified memory subsystem.
The integration of these functions into a single chip reduces design complexity and provides system designers with a considerable savings on the overall bill of materials.
The DMN-8602 features LSI Logic's Direct Digital Dub technology that simplifies the transfer of personal digital content from a camcorder to DVD over FireWire, with one-touch control via a single remote.
Additional advantages include LSI Logic's proprietary pre- and post-processing technologies, TrueView Pro and TrueScan Pro.
These motion compensation-based technologies provide advanced progressive scan output and impressive noise handling on analogue inputs.
"We're pleased to have been selected by Samsung Electronics for their new line of combination VHS/DVD recorders with enhanced features enabled by the DMN-8602", said Timothy Vehling, Senior Director of Marketing, Consumer AV Products for LSI Logic's Broadband Entertainment Division.
"The DVD recorder market is poised to follow the market success of VCRs and now consumers can enjoy the best of both worlds".
