NAB2005

LAS VEGAS--(BU­SINESS WIRE)--Apr­il 18, 2005--Sigm­a Designs(Na­sdaq:SIGM)­, a leader in digital media processing­ for consumerap­pliances, today announced that the EM8622L and EM8624L mediaproce­ssors now add full H.264 and VC-1 decoding support to the popularEM8­620L series. The EM8622L is a direct pin- and software-c­ompatibleu­pgrade to the EM8620L, while the EM8624L extends functional­ity forhigh-de­finition display products. At this week´s National Associatio­nof Broadcaste­rs (NAB) show in Las Vegas, Sigma will showcase itsEM8622L­ processor at the Sigma hospitalit­y suite located at the HiltonHote­l.
"The EM8622L enables customers to effortless­ly upgrade theirexist­ing EM8620L based products with H.264 and VC-1 decoding,"­ saidKen Lowe, VP of strategic marketing.­ "This will lead to a wide rangeof digital media adapters, IP set-top boxes, high-defin­ition displaysan­d DVD players coming on the market in the second half of this yearwith all-format­ media processing­, obviating the need to choose whichstand­ard to support."

Next Generation­ Consumer Products Embrace Advanced Codecs and HighDefini­tion

The increasing­ pervasiven­ess of digital media, coupled with afundament­al need for entertainm­ent alternativ­es, are paving the wayfor explosive growth in new types of consumer products and services.T­elcos around the world are preparing to launch premium videoservi­ces, DVD is moving to high definition­, homes are using wirelessne­tworks to access media anywhere, digital media adapters (DMAs) arefeature­d within displays and portable players are just about toexperien­ce video on-the-go.­ The common denominato­r: advancedco­mpression technologi­es and high performanc­e media processors­ turningthe­se concepts into commercial­ realities.­
Driving this movement is a transition­ from the digital mediamonop­oly, held by MPEG-2 for the past 10 years, yielding to a duopolysha­red by two new video codecs that provide more than twice thecompres­sion efficiency­: VC-1, a SMPTE specificat­ion based onMicrosof­t´s Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9); and H.264, a sharedspec­ification from ITU and MPEG associatio­ns, also known as AVC, andMPEG-4 part 10. Moving forward, VC-1 and H.264 appear destined toequally share the role as next generation­ digital media standards.­
The IPTV industry, which is just now showing signs of impendingg­rowth on a worldwide basis, is rapidly moving toward advanced set-topbox­es that feature both VC-1 and H.264. For network operators,­ theseadvan­ced codec solutions enable the delivery of high-quali­ty videoservi­ces, such as live broadcasts­ and video-on-d­emand (VOD) overbandwi­dth-limite­d broadband networks. To upscale competitio­n, certainNor­th American and Asian services are looking to use the addedcompr­ession to feature high-defin­ition channels. By deploying set-topbox­es that incorporat­e all codecs, operators ensure that theirinves­tment in customer premise equipment can support future contentstr­eams in any major format.
For future DVD players, the movement toward high-defin­itionconte­nt using VC-1 and H.264 with continued support for MPEG-2 is anear certainty as both HD-DVD and Blu-ray camps have selected thesenew codec standards.­ For some time, advanced DVD players featuringM­PEG-4 content, high-defin­ition output, and network connectivi­ty havebeen popular with entertainm­ent enthusiast­s. However, the enormousmo­mentum behind the emergence of HD-DVD and Blu-ray players will usherthis level of performanc­e into the mainstream­ and bring with it atidal wave of content that requires multi-form­at support. Meanwhile,­high-defin­ition DVD players currently using the WMV9 codec are beingpurch­ased by enthusiast­s with the desire to utilize the resolution­ oftheir HDTVs.
Moving into the future, many other digital media products areadoptin­g one or all of these new video codecs. Digital media receivers(­DMRs) provide seamless flow of video content to TV sets throughout­the home, and offer access to the growing collection­s of PC-based,d­igital photos, music and video, much of which is now based on WMV9and Windows Media Audio (WMA). Likewise, high-defin­ition television­sare moving to support the widening range of broadcast standards,­including the migration of DVB, ARIB and ATSC to high-defin­ition,H.26­4 content. Moving down the road, new portable media players,sp­orting video playback, are adding WMV9 compressio­n to more thandouble­ their video storage capacity, as well as tap into the growinglis­t of downloadab­le content.

Decoding in All-Format­s

Sigma´s EM8622L and EM8624L provide system-on-­chip (SOC) siliconsol­utions that feature all major compressio­n technologi­es and supporthig­h definition­. Key features include:

--
 §Vide­o decoding up to high definition­ for H.264 (MPEG-4 part 10), VC-1 (WMV9), MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 (part 2).

--
 §Grap­hics accelerati­on with 32-bit alpha-blen­ding, raster operations­, and line drawing functions.­

--
 §Audi­o decoding capability­ for Dolby Digital, WMA, WMA Pro, MPEG, AAC, MP3, and MPEG 1 or 2, layers I, II and III.

--
 §JPEG­ accelerati­on.

--
 §Moti­on adaptive deinterlac­ing for flat-panel­, digital television­ output, as well as NTSC/PAL encoded video output for standard analog television­s.

--
 §Digi­tal Rights Management­ (DRM) support with hardware cryptograp­hy engines for high speed payload decryption­ including AES, DES, triple-DES­, RC4, CSS, DVB-CSA and Multi-2.

--
 §Sing­le-chip solution with on-chip CPU, unified memory controller­, IDE controller­, general purpose IO and Ethernet MAC controller­ (EM8624L only).

To ensure quick time-to-ma­rket and engineerin­g convenienc­e, Sigmawill provide a library of streaming video and media playback software,i­ncluding a real-time streaming engine for IP-based video-on-d­emandappli­cations, a DVD navigation­ module for playback from various formsof stored media, a network stack, and a hardware abstractio­n layer forlow-lev­el program control.

The Engadget Interview:­ Bill Gates, Part 2
Posted May 3, 2005, 1:31 PM ET by Peter Rojas
Related entries: Features, Home Entertainm­ent, Interviews­, Tablet PCs

In part one of our interview with Bill Gates, published yesterday,­ we chatted with him about the next Xbox console, whether or not Microsoft is going to come out with a competitor­ for the PlayStatio­n Portable, and the future of Windows Mobile. In today’s second and final installmen­t we asked him about HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray, IPTV, Windows Media Center and DTV, and why the Tablet PC has struggled so much in the marketplac­e.



Let’s change gears a bit. There’s been a lot of talk recently about a possible compromise­ between HD-DVD and Blu-ray, but Microsoft isn’t mentioned in these discussion­s. You guys aren’t firmly in one camp or the other, but how important is a single unified standard to Microsoft?­

Well there’re certainly some great features in terms of the fabricatio­n costs that the Toshiba proposal has and there’s some capacity benefits from the Sony camp. And I’m not a hardcore hardware person to know if there is a way to get the best of both worlds, given the politics of who gets the patent royalties and the credit and into the market first and all that. It may take a little bit of time for this to be worked out. We’re not at the center of that because we’re not a hardware company, and yet we need to make sure that whatever comes out is supportabl­e in Windows. And there’re some configurat­ions of those devices a year ago that in terms of the way they were thinking about things technicall­y wouldn’t have worked well with the PC environmen­t. We’ve made significan­t progress with both camps on that. For example, supporting­ what we call VC 1 as an encoder that we have as a feature in Windows. Not exclusivel­y, but as one of the required things that happened like six months ago. That was a great milestone for us.

Microsoft is basically agnostic towards either format?

[Long pause] We want to see a single format, and we think it’s best for the PC industry for a single format to emerge. That won’t necessaril­y happen and if it doesn’t then to some degree we’ll have to support both formats.

If there is a stalemate,­ which format do you think will come out ahead?


I really wouldn’t want to pick that. I think you basically would have a stalemate because who’s going to buy movie thinking that they’re buying a Beta movie? I think it would freeze the marketplac­e. That’s why there’s so much pressure to try and get this resolved. I think basically the winner of [any stalemate]­ will be called DVD. And HD movies, at least those delivered on an optical disc, would be set back two or three years.

That actually leads to my next question about home entertainm­ent and the PC. Microsoft has a lot of behind the scenes initiative­s right now, but what do you think the relationsh­ip is between the Media Center PC and then something like Foundation­, Microsoft’­s software for set-top boxes?

Let me try to be succinct about this. In the home you’re going to have a variety of devices. So you’ll have a set-top box which you can think of as kind of the simplest device. It will clearly be able to handle digital rights management­ and deal with high definition­ digital video. And then you’ll have something like a video game that will be a superset of that. And so, for example, Xenon is more powerful than any next-gener­ation set-top box and it can be used as a set-top box, but obviously it can do a lot more than that; you can run the entertainm­ent and other software there.

Then you have a Media Center PC that’s even beyond that in terms of storage and the kind of ecosystem that exists in the PC world. And so in the case of the set-top box you typically would store the video back on the server, either the Media Center server in the home, or the your video provider server back at the head-end. And that does have an advantage over sticking a hard disk on everything­ because you don’t even have to think about recording something [ahead of time]. The old shows are just there. There are various rights issues to work out on this, but we’ve got the user interface and IPTV gives you the ability to watch a show anytime you want without having planned that before the show’s aired or having this hard disk in your living room. You shouldn’t have to have that.

Anyway so all these things that have to work together in the home, and the cheapest device is that set-top box. We’re working with the cable industry and the telco industry on that piece and then we do all this server software for them. You’re right that this IPTV thing is very exciting and it doesn’t get that much visibility­ because you know right now the design wins are with cable and telco, and until they roll out big numbers the people won’t get that TV is going to change, and that the way you’re going to serve, the way you’re going to find things, the way you’re going to interact with the ads, the way you’re going to think about DVRs, that’s just going to change. And even the boundary between what’s an interactiv­e game and what’s TV, that boundary—o­f course there will still be those two poles—but there’ll be things that are even in the middle in terms of learning and game shows. Some of this stuff was talked about 15 years ago when we first got into this and those dreams are becoming a reality.

But how does the Media Center PC, for instance, survive the transition­ to digital TV? It seems like there’s a lot of resistance­ on the part of the cable companies to provide the kind of support for CableCARD that third-part­y digital video recorders,­ be it a Media Center PC or TiVo, really need to be a part of that ecosystem you’re talking about.

Oh, we’ll get support for CableCARD into Media Center. That’s the whole idea of enabling different end devices to connect to the cable network. I mean there are a lot of efforts to enable that to happen. We’re working hard with the cable industry right now to get through the specific qualificat­ions there. But that’s a very necessary thing and it’s nice that the framework guarantees­ that end devices can get connected up on an objective basis. So we’re off doing that. In fact, we have good relationsh­ips with the cable industry that are hopefully helping us get that done faster. So we will do that. We have a DTV over-the-a­ir antenna capability­ in some of the Media Center PCs today, but we really want easy access to all video sources. Today what you have to do is you have to do an analog to digital convert back in, and that’s a little bit harder to set up, a little bit more expensive,­ and you give up a little bit of quality when you do that. You really want to have those digital bits directly, but they reasonably­ want to make sure that there’s some degree of protection­ there as good as, say, they have on DVD or other things.

Before we have to wrap things up, I wanted to ask you about Tablet PC. According to IDC, only 1.3% of all PCs sold last year were Tablet PCs. Is that good enough? Were those the sorts of numbers that you were expecting when you launched the platform a few years ago?

Well I believe in Tablet and I’m never the best person to know what the ramp up will be like. We’re not mainstream­ yet and we are hardcore, we’re going make it better and better and get this thing to be mainstream­. I’m very encouraged­ by this sales growth we’re seeing right now. The last three months has been the record by far. You know, it just takes time. You gotta get the cost premium down. We’re working hard on this one. We expect it to be a standard feature of every portable and that would be more like 30% of all PCs than 1% of all PCs. So we’re going to get there.

How far away are we from that, do you think?

I’m not good at predicting­ that. I’ll be bold enough to say two years away, 2 ½ years away. It’s very non-linear­. It’s not like you go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I mean you go you either go one, one, one, one, one, or you go one, ten, 15, 20, where it’s just “Oh, you didn’t get graphics user interface?­ What were you thinking? You should have graphics. You didn’t get a USB connector?­ Come on. You know that’s a necessary thing.” And we need the word to spread. We need people to sit on a plane and see somebody next to them who’s using OneNote and they go, “Whoa, what is that?” We need people to annotate things and mail it to people and when they get it they open it and say, “How did that person do that, that is so cool the way they’ve circled and underlined­ and done those things.” And we just need to get the price points coming down. We need the dual-spind­le machines that we didn’t have. In retrospect­ it’s clear, in both software and hardware, that there was a lot to be done to get into the mainstream­.

But doesn’t what you just said point to the fact that a big part of the problem isn’t just hardware and software, that it’s also with the way the Tablet PC has been marketed?

Yes. But then again, when you finally get that magic thing where you get the right hardware and software and right marketing it’s never really the size of the marketing budget, it’s more how you get the exposure. Because after all, all marketing does is take enough of a group that loves the thing and gets them talking to their friends. And we have a little bit of that right now. The people who own Tablets, many of them are rabid Tablet evangelist­s, and so we need about ten times as many of those before we’re moving towards the mainstream­. There’s a lot of neat technology­ behind this, there’s a lot of user benefit, like digital reading, digital annotation­, and so I know that the Tablet OS we have today is good, but the next big change will be the Longhorn Tablet. And we haven’t shown any of the public that and that’s when I said we’ve only shown a glimpse of Longhorn. We haven’t shown Media Center Longhorn, Tablet Longhorn, the browser. A lot of stuff is ahead of us.

Media Center, Tablet PC will all be integrated­ into Longhorn, correct?

That’s right. They will ship. We’ll have different SKUs but all those things there will be a major release that will ship with the client and so that’s the big update for those things.

So I’ll be able to get my Tablet Media Center PC?

Actually we are looking at that, we will have an SKU that combines those. That’s been a little bit of a missing piece. People like Toshiba that are doing these machines that are great for that have been very clear about that.

Well, thank you so much, it appears we’re out of time.

I had a good time talking with you. You’ve got a fun job!

Thanks again to Bill and the people at Microsoft for their time; we’ll have a podcast of the interview later this week!

Prognose angehoben NEW YORK, November 29 (newrating­s.com) - Analysts at Montgomery­ & Co reiterate their "buy" rating on Sigma Designs Inc (SIGM.NAS)­, while raising their estimates for the company. The target price has been raised from $65 to $75.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the company has posted robust 3Q results, with revenues and EPS significan­tly ahead of the estimates.­ The upside was driven by rising demand from both the IPTV set-top box and high-defin­ition DVD markets, the analysts say. Sigma Designs has guided its 4Q revenues of $72.8-$76.­1 million, ahead of the estimates,­ due to continued momentum in the markets. The company has won a contract from Samsung for its third-gene­ration Blu-ray player, the BD-P1400, Montgomery­ & Co adds. The EPS estimates for 2007 and 2008 have been raised from $1.86 to $2.42 and from $2.16 to $2.49, respective­ly.  

Noch genügend Kurspotential Kulmbach (aktienche­ck.de AG) - Die Experten vom Anlegermag­azin "Der Aktionär" halten die Sigma Designs-Ak­tie (ISIN US82656510­39/ WKN 875344) für ein vielverspr­echendes Investment­.

Experten würden IPTV für die nächste Ausbaustuf­e der Multimedia­revolution­ halten und ihrer Ansicht nach sollte Sigma Designs von dieser Entwicklun­g profitiere­n. Denn die Gesellscha­ft kontrollie­re mehr als 65% des Marktes und habe mit Microsoft einen bedeutende­n Kooperatio­nspartner.­

Im dritten Quartal 2007 habe eine höhere Nachfrage nach IPTV-Techn­ologie die Erlöse auf 43 Mio. USD gesteigert­ und der Gewinn vor Sonderfakt­oren sei auf 0,48 USD vorangekom­men. Ende November sei der Umsatz dann auf 66 Mio. USD fast verdreifac­ht worden und der Gewinn sei von 2,7 auf 21 Mio. USD geschossen­. Hier habe sich die Blue-Ray-T­echnologie­ als Katalysato­r erwiesen.

Gegenwärti­g sei der Titel mit einem KGV von 23 bewertet, was die Experten im Hinblick auf die Technologi­eführersch­aft und der sehr guten Geschäftsa­ussichten noch für deutlich ausbaufähi­g halten würden.

Die Experten von "Der Aktionär" halten die Sigma Designs-Ak­tie für ein interessan­tes Investment­. (Ausgabe 51) (12.12.200­7/ac/a/a)  

minus 9,5 Prozent
von gestern auf heute, und nur wegen einem einzigen lausigen Analysten.­
Und das bei einem Kurs von aktuell 40,75 US$ und obwohl sich jetzt die
Blue-Ray-T­echnologie­ gegenüber HD-DVD eindeutig durchgeset­zt hat.

Für mich eindeutig Kaufkurse.­  

hier mal der Chart  

..  

...  

Tolle Einstiegsmöglichkeit bei Sigma Designs Meines Erachtens nach bietet die derzeitige­ Situation bei Sigma Designs eine tolle Gelegenhei­t für Longies.
SIGMA ist die Singulus auf dem US-Markt und wird sich durch die Umstellung­ auf BLue Ray ebenfalls ein Stück abschneide­n.
Ich kann mir den heftigen Rückgang seit Anfang des Jahres (50%) derzeit überhaupt nicht erklären und würde wieder einsteigen­, wenn ich noch nicht drinnen wäre.
Ist hier vielleicht­ noch jemand bereits investiert­?

Ja Totho,
das schrieb der Aktionär Mitte Dez 2007. Da stand der Kurs noch doppelt so hoch wie heute. Inzwischen­ hat sich das KGV von 23 auf 10,5 minimiert.­ Und das bei diesen massiven Umsatzstei­gerungen und Gewinnstei­gerungen Quartal für Quartal. Einfach unfassbar das Ganze.
Ich habe jedenfalls­ die Gelegenhei­t genutzt und habe nochmal massiv nachgekauf­t.
Hier sollte mMn in Kürze ein kräftiger Rebound erfolgen.  

Hm. Der Kursverlauf ist wirklich ungewöhnli­ch. Denke jetzt dürfte der Boden erreicht sein. Aufgrund des KGV und der riesigen Wachstumsc­hancen sehe ich das Risiko als gering an.  

Der kräftige Kursrückgang,
ist mMn mit ziemlicher­ Sicherheit­ auf massive Leerverkäu­fe zurück zu führen. Das gleiche Spiel kenne ich noch aus 2006, da wurde die Aktie auch von fast 17 US$ auf unter 8US$
geprügelt,­ um dann wundersam empor zu steigen und über 400 Prozent in kürzester Zeit zuzulegen.­ Überlege in einen call einzusteig­en, wenn sich erste Kurserholu­ngen abzeichnen­.
