Home theatres speak volumes for change

Sales of cassette players have
significantly dropped due to a technology shift towards CD and MP3 formats. It
is only CD players that have managed to retain sales though it is a very small
segment,? said Philips Electronics India V-P (consumer lifestyle) S
Nagarajan. Little wonder, Samsung?s home theatre sales has
grown by over 40% this year. It is now launching six new models for the festive
season. ?The healthy growth in home theatres is also linked with the sales
of LCD TVs. We are seeing a near 25% attachment ratio of home theatres and LCD
TV sales,? Samsung India deputy MD R Zutshi told ET. The
average price of home theatre systems have fallen from Rs 20,000 to Rs 9,000
over the last two years.

That part is the [TCM 2049]; it?s our next generation 65 millimeter Blue-Tooth plus FM part integrating key functions that would otherwise consume baseband power and resources. First, it integrates audio processing capabilities to improve voice quality, perform stereo decoding and lower system power consumption. Second, it has FM transmit capabilities so users can take advantage of the audio systems in their cars and home as they listen to music or talk on their phones. This chip is going to be the cell phone battery?s best friend allowing the baseband to sleep more while providing key features that are proliferating to almost every handset tier. In Blue-Tooth we continued to experience strong demand in the third quarter driven by strength in the audio headset, PC and cellular segments. Last quarter we announced that our audio headset solutions were shipping into a number of Tier 1 accounts. But I think that one area that?s been somewhat overlooked is the success that we?ve been having in the PC market.

Handset manufacturers were informed of this shortcoming very quickly by all the UMC market contenders. Their response, however, was rather slow because the early upside market opportunity for UMC sales was too small. As the market has grown, handset manufacturers have acknowledged the need for application-directed audiorouting and have begun providing device-specific SDKs to be linked with UMC applications. The good news on this front is that the third and subsequent generation of dual-mode phones will not be plagued with this problem. The current dual-mode installed base, however, might not be blessed with such options. Many of thesephones have been through end-of-life (EOL) and no future engineering resources willbe applied. In selecting a UMC solution, it will be important to know whether the application vendor has partnered with the handset vendor on this issue and has embedded the audio routing into its product.
