has announced that its third-generation DoMiNo 8653 (DMN-8653) is the first single-chip DVD recorder system processor to integrate dual encoding for the dual-tuner, HDD/DVD recorder platform.

According to LSI, dual encoding allows DVD recorder manufacturers to offer features such as the simultaneous digital recording of two TV programs while viewing live playback of one of the selected channels. Features like this are expected to drive the marketplace adoption of DVD recorders, DVRs/PVRs and new generations of TV displays.

"Processors that enable the recording of two programs at the same time will raise the profile of both combination and standalone DVD recorders. As these advanced recording capabilities increase in popularity with consumers worldwide, the total DVD recorder processor market is expected to reach $875 million by 2008," said IdaRose Sylvester, senior analyst, IDC.

With its high level of integration, the DMN-8653 is said to eliminate the need for a second MPEG A/V encoder and leverages a flexible Unified Memory Architecture (UMA), reducing system BOM costs.
