LSI(TM) Tarari(R) providing technology that enables acceleration of
content creation using Microsoft(R) Silverlight(TM) platform LAS
VEGAS, March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation
(NYSE:LSI), a leader in deep packet inspection silicon, today
announced that it is supplying accelerator technology for Microsoft
Silverlight. Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in
for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich
interactive applications for the web. LSI offers capabilities to
the Silverlight platform that result in shorter time to market for
developers creating complex video applications for the online
video, broadcast and High Definition DVD markets. LSI's silicon
components for Silverlight result in a high performance system for
content developers and hardware OEMs. LSI has adapted its deep
packet inspection (DPI) technology to create a deep frame
inspection (DFI) capability. In contrast to DPI, which looks for
viruses and intrusive code in packets, DFI examines each frame of
video to calculate what has changed from the previous frame. The
result is a compressed video stream -- up to 10 to 1 -- that
enables richer video formats such as high-definition to be streamed
over the Internet or corporate networks and saved efficiently on
storage systems while still maintaining a high level of video
quality. LSI will demonstrate its LSI Tarari Encoder Accelerator
(TEA) for Windows Media(R) accelerating the Microsoft Expression(R)
Encoder at the upcoming MIX08 conference, March 5-7, 2008, at the
Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. Web developers now can
design new applications that efficiently include video content that
can be merged with live data to create a layered application of
multiple data types. Previously, it was time consuming to create
those applications because of the long encoding time for video
objects. LSI's implementation of Silverlight turns the possible
into the practical by accelerating the underlying Microsoft Windows
Media codec while maintaining a high degree of video quality for
standard or high-definition output on a fully compliant, production
ready, Windows VC-1-based codec SDK platform. "The collaboration
between LSI and Microsoft is strategic as exemplified by our
charter membership in the Silverlight Partner Initiative," said Jim
Wilson, Director of Engineering Programs at LSI. "Close involvement
and long-term interaction between Microsoft and LSI developers have
been key to delivering LSI-enabled Silverlight products. As more
and more content-aware applications are developed, LSI's key
technologies will be used to help deliver efficient storage,
networking and video solutions on the Microsoft platform." Brian
Goldfarb, group product manager in the Developer Division at
Microsoft Corp. said, "We are pleased to have LSI engineers working
directly with our development teams to enable hardware acceleration
for Silverlight." About LSI LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) is a leading
