Toshiba Semiconductor and TAEC
to licence TiVo technology
for inclusion in next-generation chip design

Innovative Licensing Relationship to Drive Fast Deployment by Making a TiVo DVR Easier and Less Expensive to Build

TiVo, the creator and leader of television services for digital video recording, today announced Toshiba Semiconductor Company and Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) as the latest technology licensees of its digital video recorder (DVR) technology. The technology licence includes intellectual property in the form of a proprietary Media ASIC design, and a hardware porting kit (HPK) that provides a standardised layer for implementing TiVo DVR services on a variety of hardware platforms and operating systems. This technology will enable DVR manufacturers to differentiate their products with minimal cost.

"We are pleased to work with an industry leader like Toshiba as they take this innovative step forward in the development of DVR technology," said Ta-Wei Chien, senior vice president and general manager TiVo's technology and licensing business. "The integration of TiVo technology into Toshiba's chips has the potential to accelerate the development of devices that enable the TiVo service. This is another step towards the rapid proliferation of the TiVo technology platform and the development of innovative products for consumers."

"Our customers are telling us they need the newest and most innovative technology and chip designs. We see TiVo as the key to providing the latest technology and important product differentiation for our customers," said Farhad Mafie, vice president, ASSP Business Unit, System LSI Group, TAEC. "Developing chips that are 'TiVo-ready' is an advantage for us. We believe in the growing market for DVRs, and the standard-setting work TiVo has accomplished is what led us to licence technology from the market leader for our next-generation products."

The addition of TiVo's Media ASIC intellectual property (IP) into Toshiba's chip offering will enable consumer electronics manufacturers to more easily and inexpensively integrate TiVo functionality into future devices. The Media IP is an important component of TiVo's overall technology portfolio.

The HPK facilitates an open, hardware-agnostic approach to DVR implementation. It provides the standard software layer from which DVR applications can be easily ported to a range of hardware platforms and operating systems. This allows manufacturers who utilise Toshiba's TiVo enabled chip to readily differentiate their product with little overall cost.

The functionality licensed in these designs includes patented technology, which enables many of the unique features that TiVo subscribers value, such as pause, fast forward, instant replay and simultaneous recording and playback of different programs, automated disk management, conflict resolution and many others.

As part of the agreement, the companies will work together to integrate the technology into chips that will become available sometime in 2004.

Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

The TiVo review is online now.
