Sigma Designs to showcase solutions for home entertainment networking, home control, and media processing

CEATEC JAPAN 2010, TOKYO, JAPAN & MILPITAS, USA: Sigma Designs, a leading provider of System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions used to deliver entertainment and control throughout the home, will demonstrate its industry-leading solutions in media processing, home entertainment networking, 3D display, and home control at CEATEC 2010.

Also at the show, Sigma will host the first ever Z-Wave Seminar, an event targeted to give Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) an overview of technology solutions for modern home control and energy management. Industry partners Sumitomo Electric, NTT Docomo, and Ingersoll-Rand will join Sigma at the seminar to present Z-Wave powered solutions as part of the home control ecosystem.

With the widest ecosystem of devices available to consumers today, Sigma’s popular Z-Wave technology helps service providers increase Average Revenue Per Unit (ARPU) and net profits by enabling new home control, security, and energy management services.

Sigma’s Z-Wave solutions put home control in the palm of consumers’ hands. Attendees will have the opportunity to test-drive real-world applications — using Z-Wave to monitor and manage energy use, home entertainment systems, lighting, and appliance control, HVAC systems, security, and access control — all from a smart phone.

Sigma will host all of its CEATEC activities in the Manhattan Hotel, booths 706, 707, and 708. Also at the CEATEC 2010, Sigma will demonstrate how to:

* Deliver the most advanced viewing experience to consumers using Sigma’s studio-grade VXP post processors – the standard for the professional market.

* Double Android and Over the Top (OTT) device performance.
* Lower deployment costs via new thin-client solutions that enable service providers to install set top boxes throughout the entire home for significantly less than ever before.
* Implement new optimized solutions for Microsoft® Mediaroom based on Sigma’s second-generation SMP8652 media processor.
* Reduce power consumption by using Z-Wave enabled solutions to monitor and control energy usage.
