TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 13, 2005 — Digital Media Cartridge, Ltd. (BVI) announced today the sampling of its new all-in-one 32-bit technology game and multimedia chip. The new chip, Titan(TM) 1.0, is a high-performance dual 32-bit RISC processor system-on-chip (SoC) optimized for low-cost integrated handhelds for portable multimedia players and all-in-one TV game pads. The chip incorporates a TV controller and encoder and a stereo audio DAC output to allow TV game products to connect directly to TV sets via audio/video cable.
DMC will supply the chip to its several contracted customers for their making in mainland China integrated all-in-one game-pads for worldwide markets this Christmas. Each game pad will contain the DMC Titan(TM) 1.0 32-bit technology chip and selected Sega Genesis(R) game titles licensed from AtGames Holdings, Ltd.
