Philips adds support for MPEG 4 and Ethernet to its DVD+R/RW reference design
Philips has announced that its DVD+R/RW reference design now can be integrated with the pnx1300 and pnx1500 Nexperia™ media processors. The pnx1300 and pnx1500 have support for Ethernet, DivX, MPEG4, H.263/H.264, RealVideo, Windows Media 9, MP3 Pro, Dolby Pro Logic 2, Dolby Digital and JPEG2000 making the platform very flexible for the manufacturers.

Philips Nexperia DVD+R/+RW reference design is based on a front-end solution built around the Nexperia pnx7850 processor and an OPU manufactured by Philips. The back-end solution is built upon the Nexperia pnx7100, a single-chip AVG (Audio, Video, Graphics) MPEG2 CODEC. Philips Nexperia family of media processors is powered by a high-performance TriMedia™ CPU core with additional instructions for optimized MPEG video processing. Fabricated in a low-power 0.13-Micron process, it is a power-efficient, high-performance, multi-format media processor for a variety of CE applications. Philips has seamlessly combined both the pnx7100 and pnx1300/pnx1500 onto one platform.

The mass production of the pnx1300 has already started and the price will be $ 10-25 according to Impress Watch (Babelfish translation). You can read the press release from Philips here.
