Daewoo Selects LSI Logic DiMeNsion(TM) Processor for DVD/VCR Recorder Product Line

"By leveraging the DMN-8602, we are able to continue our tradition of bringing high-quality DVD/VCR combination products to consumers," said Mr. Song Ki Min, director of Digital Video R&D Center in Daewoo Electronics. "In a single space-saving device, the DVR-S04 allows consumers to quickly and easily transfer personal content from a VHS tape to a DVD disc, preserving content for years to come."

In addition to making it easier to transfer directly from VHS tape to DVD disc, Daewoo models like the DVR-S04 include LSI Logic's Direct Digital Dub(TM) technology. Direct Digital Dub simplifies the transfer of personal digital content from a camcorder (DV or other media) to the DVD recorder over FireWire. Reducing complexity, Direct Digital Dub allows consumers to control the camcorder with one-touch via the DVD recorder remote.

"We are pleased to have a design win with Daewoo, a leading consumer electronics manufacturer," said Tim Vehling, director of marketing of Consumer Products for LSI Logic. "We are pleased that Daewoo has selected us to enable their DVD/VCR recorder product line, which will be available worldwide."

LSI Logic's line of DiMeNsion DVD recorder processors consists of the industry's first single-chip DVD recorder solutions. The high level of integration reduces design complexity and provides system designers with a considerable savings on the overall bill of materials. Additional advantages include LSI Logic's proprietary pre- and post-processing technologies, TrueView(TM) Pro and TrueScan(TM) Pro. These motion compensation-based technologies provide advanced progressive scan output and impressive noise handling on analog inputs.

LSI Logic's Consumer Products Division provides innovative digital media processing and silicon solutions to industry-leading, worldwide consumer electronics manufacturers. With a complete line of cutting-edge products for DVD, DVR, EVD, video game, digital and HDTV, portable audio, set-top box, and professional video production/broadcasting devices, LSI Logic delivers entertainment into and throughout the Digital Home.
