Manufacturers are excited about both the LS808 and the Internet DVD solution, the LS588, says Miller. Since the LS808 offers manufacturers the opportunity to provide a solution at well under the competition s current retail prices, many channels believe that a LS808 equipped set top box offers compelling price advantages. In terms of the LS588, an Internet-enabled DVD player with broadband support is a significant advantage in an already well established and fast growing DVD player industry. Although LuxSonor Semiconductors is targeting broadband markets, the LS808 and LS588 include a 56K V.90 software based modem for Internet connectivity through an analog phone line. Manufacturers have the choice of embedded Internet browsers and email applications from three different partner companies.
Reference designs are also available for both products.
