MPEG-2 Encoder

Hi, why not try these following vendors who also make MPEG ICs.

SIGMA DESIGNS

Srini EMITT Solutions

You can also try Magnum Semiconductor which for sure makes MPEG encoders and lot of data is available on their website

Thank you Srini,

I've browsed all websites that you sent me, but I could not find links with enouth data to evaluate electrical and logical characteristics (examples bellow) of each chip. Without this, there is a great risk in purchasing a developer kit, for example. Dou you have any other sugestions?

Ask the suppliers what qualifications and credentials are needed to access the proprietary data, then get those credentials, if you don't already have them.

It is usually an NDA, though sometimes with an "impound" fee that can be as high as US$10,000, possibly even more.

JosephKK : Thank you for your response. This business model is really new for me. This US$ 10K is high, and now is necessary to evaluate this as a investment.

Gary Tait: I'm not intended to access private data, but understand how MPEG-2 encoders can be brought and used. Remember that there is lots of complete datasheets available in the web provided directly by chip's manufacturers. Some semiconductors are even more complex than MPEG-2 encoders, but this data can be accessed freely and legally by any user. I'll evaluate the risk of a +US$ 10K investment, thats all.

The other side of the coin is that the fees may not be that high. You cannot know until you ask.
