Sigma Designs chip and logo

Ken Lowe is the Vice President for Strategic Marketing at Sigma Designs, a Milpitas, California-based company that is a leader in the development and production of digital media processing (DMP) chips.

Mr. Lowe spoke today with Entertainment Technology World about Sigma Design's products; the way DMP works; the competing standards encompassed and decoded by Sigma Design's silicon products, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and Windows Media 9; the impact of accelerating convergence on the design and use of digital products; the use of Sigma products in IPTV set-top boxes, digital media recorders, and with high-definition television; the release of the newest Sigma products at the next Consumer Electronics Show; the company's stock symbol (SIGM) and current trading range (around $9.00/share); the agnosticism of Sigma's chips towards competing codecs/protocols/standards; and its overall support for more and more broadband as a means of delivering more and more integrated VoIP and video over the Internet.
