At Electronica'98 MICRONAS INTERMETALL presents a chip set that has what it takes to revolutionize the way music is distributed today. The MP3 chipset, consisting of the audio decompression processor MAS 3507D and the D-A converter circuit DAC 3550A, form the heart of the new portable MP3 play-back units which a number of manufacturers are now launching on the market.
At Electronica'98 MICRONAS INTERMETALL presents its new Multistandard Sound Processor, the MSP 3451G, with integrated Virtual Dolby Surround decoder. This means that, for the first time, surround sound is set to become an interesting proposition for standard television receivers as well as TV-compatible personal computers, too.
Today, at exactly 23.15 hours CET, the Ariane 4 launch rocket completed a successful lift-off from its launchpad in Kourou, French Guyana, putting the first of three WorldSpace satellites into orbit.
The WorldSpace system is one of the first commercial digital radio projects to be realized on a large scale. The audio data are coded in the MPEG 2.5/Layer 3 standard which was specially developed for WorldSpace, and are transmitted in compressed form in the L-band (1467...1492 MHz).
This year's Electronica will be the first international event for MICRONAS INTERMETALL to present itself under its new company name. The Freiburg-based semiconductor manufacturer is a leading supplier of mixed signal ICs, automotive controllers, and Hall-effect sensors.
MICRONAS INTERMETALL, leading manufacturer of mixed-signal ICs, automotive controllers, and Hall-effect sensors, presents its new linear Hall-effect sensor HAL 800 as a contact-free alternative to mechanical potentiometers and angle measuring devices. The HAL 800 is the worl's first Hall-effect sensor featuring programmable, digital on-chip signal processing which permits matching to different applications and systems, as well as automatic, electronic in-line adjustment.
MICRONAS INTERMETALL, leading European supplier of highly integrated circuits for mixed-signal applications and Hall effect sensors, has updated its product documentation with a new CD-ROM.
Manufacturers of PCs, graphics cards, video and TV tuner cards need wait no longer for Windows 98. At CeBIT'98, MICRONAS INTERMETALL, the leading European provider of advanced video and audio solutions, presented its new hardware and software package, ?MediaCVR? (pronounced ?mediaceiver?), for processing and visualizing TV signals on the PC.
