JVC becomes first Japanese consumer electronics manufacturer to deliver a DVD recorder product based on the DiMeNsion 8600 - Single-chip DMN-8600 offers high-quality video and unique features, such as Digital Video (DV) camcorder support

"JVC values its long relationship with LSI Logic and their ability to deliver products for demanding, yet cost-sensitive, consumer electronic applications," said Mr. Shingo Kawata, vice president of AVM Company, JVC. "The high level of integration of the DMN-8600 reduced our system component count, and consequently, system cost without compromising quality. By leveraging the DMN-8600's proprietary de-interlacing and video filtering technologies, we can provide the industry's highest-quality video on our DR-M1. LSI Logic has successfully brought technologies into the mass market that were, up to now, only available in high-end professional products. Consumers can now cost-effectively create crisp, near-broadcast quality video recordings of their favorite TV shows that are superior in quality to existing analog recording technologies."

JVC's DR-M1 records on DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD-R disks in DVD-Video or DVD-VR formats, and plays DVD-Video, DVD-VR, VCD, MP3, JPEG or audio CD disks. The DR-M1 has the ability to time-shift (simultaneously record and playback) television programs on DVD-RAM disk allowing users to pause, rewind, or instantly replay live television. The DR-M1 also enables users to connect digital camcorders through the high-speed IEEE-1394 connection and digitally transfer personal video content from the camcorder to a DVD disk.

Additional advantages of the DMN-8600 include an integrated DV codec, fifth-generation MPEG A/V codec technology, and innovative video processing technologies like TrueScan(TM) Pro and TrueView(TM) Pro. The DMN-8600 also performs all audio processing tasks, supporting, among other things, industry-standard Dolby Digital® encoding and decoding, and DTS decoding, 3D audio effects, and bass management functions.

"JVC is a leading consumer electronics manufacturer with high standards of quality and innovation," said Umesh Padval, senior vice president and general manager, LSI Logic's Broadband Entertainment Division. "It is very exciting to see the DMN-8600 designed into JVC's DVD-recorder. We are leading the industry with a single-chip DVD recorder processor that has integrated an impressive suite of capabilities. DoMiNo's scaleable architecture will offer JVC many possibilities for exciting products in years to come."
