Tvia broadens support for wireless internet devices

　SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 17, 2002 - Tvia, Inc. (Nasdaq:TVIA - News), a leading provider of multi-media display processors for the advanced TV and emerging display markets, announced today that the integration of Tvia's multi-media display processors with the Intel® PXA250 microprocessor is complete. This integration of both hardware and software components will allow Tvia to address more of the emerging market for medium-sized wireless multi-media Internet products.
　

Tvia's multi-media display processors are designed to blend video, graphics and audio signals from wireless broadcast, narrow band telephone lines, cable, satellite, and Ethernet and deliver high quality, interactive picture and audio. Tvia processors are used around the world in products such as advanced televisions, web pads, security systems, home gateways and other applications that require a high quality display featuring multiple pictures or graphics combined with pictures. Through its patented FlexiBUS architecture, Tvia processors are able to interface with a variety of central processing units (CPUs) including the Hitachi SH-7750 and SH-MPX, StrongARM 1110, PowerPC and AMD Elan, MIPS and x86. Tvia now includes the Intel® PXA250 microprocessor on the list.
　

Based on the Intel® XScale technology, the PXA250 microprocessor is designed to bring high performance and long battery life to wireless communication devices including handheld computers, in-vehicle (telematics) systems, web pads and other wireless Internet products. Industry endorsement for the new Intel® processor has been made by wireless product manufacturers, operating system developers and independent software vendors who are introducing popular multi-media software applications.
　

Eli Porat, Tvia's president and chief executive officer, said, "As consumers increasingly demand multi-media wireless products that offer advanced graphics capabilities, access to the Internet, and richer audio, we recognize the need to support and interface with microprocessors such as the PXA250. We now offer our customers the ability to take advantage of the quality and design flexibility of Tvia's display processors while utilizing the added performance and power savings from the Intel® XScale technology."
　

Two of Tvia's multi-media display processors -- the CyberPro™ 5202, which is now in volume production, and the recently-announced CyberPro™ 5600 -- are designed to interface directly with the Intel® PXA250 microprocessor. Porat added, "The features offered in the CyberPro5202 and the CyberPro5600 are uniquely suited to support medium-sized wireless devices such as web pads and other internet devices. We believe that as we continue to focus on the newly emerging market for multi-media wireless devices, the ability to interface with the PXA250 processor will prove to be an important advantage."
