Singapore April 17 2006: Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") has announced the S1D13746, a digital video encoding LSI. The new product can easily be added on to digital video systems and was created in response to demand for TV output in the embedded market. With built-in display buffer, high performance DAC, programmable filter and rotation function necessary for TV output, the S1D13746 enables the production of high-quality TV output systems at low cost. Since the new LSI is also compatible with wide screen formats and macro vision protection, it is suitable for a range of TV applications. Shipment of samples is scheduled to begin at the end of May.

Conventional video encoding LSIs have to input digital video data compliant with ITU-R BT656 or ITU-R BT601 standards, but because the S1D13746 is connected directly to the system bus and LCD interface it can be added on to a variety of systems, regardless of CPU type, to easily achieve TV output functions.

Epson regards the embedded market at which this product is aimed as an important target market and will work to develop an even more comprehensive product lineup in response to customer needs.
