There are guys out there who already have DTV-on-a-chip today -- demod/FEC, MPEG2 video, NTSC video & audio, Dolby audio, graphics, microprocessor, etc. I don't know what they cost, but clearly the value of each IP block is dropping fast as the integration level increases. Interesting point. But the incremental cost to add something to a chip is also determined by the IP licensing cost. If that is significant then it is less likely a function will be integrated along with big collections of possibly useful stuff. I'm not sure how that stacks up here. - Tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
