LSI Logic Extends Leadership Position with Third-Generation DiMeNsion™-3 DVD Recorder Solution

LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI), a leader in innovative media processing technologies for the Digital Home, today announced its comprehensive DiMeNsion-3 DVD recorder solution. The DiMeNsion-3 solution includes LSI Logic's third-generation DVD recorder system processor, a new optical servo/DSP with integrated AFE, and a new family of NTSC/PAL video decoders.

Leveraging a Unified Memory Architecture (UMA), the DiMeNsion-3 solution eliminates and/or integrates a significant number of components and requires only a single DRAM and FLASH for the entire system, allowing manufacturers to benefit from a reduced bill of materials (BOM).

“LSI Logic optimized the DiMeNsion-3 solution at the system level to cost-effectively address DVD recorder products throughout the world,” said Jim Fox, marketing director for LSI Logic's Consumer Products. “The DiMeNsion-3 solution eliminates a minimum of 4 key components and 3 memory devices, and further reduces component count for higher-end products with features like SD-to-HD upconversion and DVD-Audio and SACD.”
