Silicon Image WKN 925795

Digital wird alles besser

Im Gegensatz zu Europa hat das digitale Fernsehen in den USA und Japan den Durchbruch schon geschafft. Hiervon profitiert das amerikanische Unternehmen Silicon Image.

Wie sieht es eigentlich hinter Ihrem Fernseher aus? Wahrscheinlich wimmelt es nur so von Kabeln - DVD-Player, Premiere-Decoder und Soundsystem und vielleicht noch eine Spielkonsole wollen schließlich angeschlossen sein. Da kann es schon mal etwas unübersichtlich werden. Zukünftig dürfte das allerdings deutlich einfacher werden und auch das Ende des Kabelsalats ist in Sicht.
Für Einfachheit und Übersicht sorgt das digitale Fernsehen und der zugehörige HDMI-Standard. HDMI steht für High Definition Multimedia Interface und verbindet einfach und schnell sämtliche digitalen Geräte. Bisher ist noch der analog arbeitende Fernseher die Ursache für die Probleme. Wenn der zukünftig auch digital wird, sorgt HDMI für schnelle digitale Verbindungen.

Der neue digitale Standard
Bereits im Jahr 2002 haben sich die Elektronik-Riesen Hitachi, Panasonic, Sony, Thomson und Toshiba auf den HDMI-Standard geeinigt. Darüber hinaus haben die fünf Konzerne das US-Unternehmen Silicon Image als Entwickler für die HDMI-Technologie ausgesucht. Mittlerweile schlössen sich weitere Firmen dem Standard an, darunter Samsung, Sharp und der US-Anbieter von Bezahlfernsehen Tivo, der die Technologie in seinen Set-Top-Boxen einsetzt. Silicon Image profitiert aber nicht nur von seiner führenden Rolle beim HDMI-Standard, sondern verkauft seit Jahren erfolgreich digitale Verbindungs- und Speichertechnologie für PCs. Von der digitalen PC-Bildschirm Schnittstelle „PanelLink" hat Silicon Image bereits mehr als 20 Millionen Stück verkauft.

Starkes Gewinnwachstum
Die Kombination aus dem soliden PC-Geschäft und den hohen Wachstumsraten im Bereich des digitalen Fernsehens hat sich im Jahr 2003 deutlich auf die Ergebnisse von Silicon Image ausgewirkt. Der Umsatz stieg im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 27 Prozent auf 103,5 Millionen Dollar. Der Proforma-Gewinn belief sich auf 2,3 Millionen Dollar oder 0,03 Dollar pro Aktie. Im Vorjahr musste noch ein Verlust von 0,09 Dollar pro Aktie ausgewiesen werden. Im laufenden Jahr ist mit einer zunehmenden Dynamik zu rechnen. Der Umsatz soll um knapp 40 Prozent auf 141 Millionen Dollar wachsen. Beim Gewinn werden 0,23 Dollar pro Aktie erwartet und damit fast achtmal so viel wie im letzten Jahr. 2005 ist dann mit einem weiteren Gewinnsprung auf 0,33 Dollar pro Aktie zu rechnen.

Bestens positioniert
Insgesamt ist Silicon Image vor allem dank seiner führenden Position in der HDMI-Technologie eines der interessantesten Investments, mit dem Anleger vom digitalen TV-Boom profitieren können. Auf Sicht von zwölf Monaten hat die Aktie ein Potenzial von deutlich über 100 Prozent.

SILICON IMAGE TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED DIRECTLY ONTO LCD PANEL BY LG.PHILIPS LCD

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 30, 2004 — Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, today announced a key design win with LG.Philips LCD Co. Ltd. The world`s leading supplier of large transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) has incorporated the new SiI™ 1257™ Intelligent Panel Controller (IPC) into a breakthrough 20-inch wide aspect ratio panel. The SiI 1257 IPC supports Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS®)-the basis for the popular Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard connecting PC hosts and digital display devices-directly on the LCD panel, enabling monitor manufacturers to lower their cost of components while realizing the highest image quality associated with pure-digital LCD monitor architectures.

The SiI 1257 IPC combines a Digital Visual Interface (DVI) receiver with a timing controller, replacing two discrete parts. In addition, incorporating DVI functionality directly on the panel itself eliminates the need for extra conversions and image processing typically supported in analog legacy monitors. As a result, a number of extraneous monitor controller functions required to support legacy analog hosts, such as ADCs, scalers and customized firmware, can also be eliminated-further lowering the cost of components and simplifying design and manufacturing.

Paul Lee, VP of monitor development at LG.Philips LCD, stated, "Pure-digital LCD monitors are the standard architecture for some customers` LCD displays, and a TMDS-based panel is an ideal solution for cost-optimized, pure-digital LCD monitors. Silicon Image is a long-standing supplier, and we are impressed with their proven high-quality, cost-effective IPC solutions."

Joseph Lee, Silicon Image product marketing manager for digital PC/display products, noted, "Not only is TMDS technology proliferating as an external monitor interface via DVI, but it is also increasingly being used in internal monitor applications. We`re seeing growing customer interest in TMDS-based LCD panels due to their superior performance to LVDS and their role in enabling cost-minimized, digitally perfect LCD monitors. As the leading supplier of TMDS-based IPCs, Silicon Image is in a unique position to benefit from this growing market trend. TMDS is also an excellent alternative to LVDS for the internal display interface, and the SiI 1257 addresses the industry need for a universal digital LCD interface capable of supporting both internal and external monitor applications-eliminating the need for supporting multiple interface technologies."

TMDS panels offer superior performance compared to LVDS, particularly at high-bandwidth resolutions. For instance, at SXGA and UXGA resolutions, two channels of LVDS must be implemented, whereas TMDS can operate with a single-link interface. Not only does this simplify design, but it also translates to fewer wires, smaller connectors and lower-cost cables. When coupled with TMDS`s robust support for long cable lengths and the ability to design panels of varying resolutions with a single TMDS connector, TMDS is a natural solution for the internal display interface as well.

The SiI 1257 IPC is based on Silicon Image`s latest-generation DVI receiver core found in the company`s discrete SiI 1000 series receivers. This core supports the full single-link DVI bandwidth of 165 MHz for consistent performance on displays up to UXGA resolution. In addition, this core incorporates an innovative, scalable Phase Lock Loop (PLL) architecture that enables interoperability with a broader range of DVI transmitters as well as unprecedented, robust performance over long cable lengths.

According to the Texas-based market research firm DisplaySearch, LG.Philips LCD maintained its position as the number-one OEM supplier of large-area thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) for the fifth quarter in a row and was the world`s biggest OEM supplier of large-area TFT-LCDs in 2003 with a market share of 21.2 percent* by units.

Serial ATA Produktoffensive bei Silicon Image

Silicon Image, Hersteller von Festplatten- und RAID-Controllern plant mit neuen Onboard-Controllern eine große Modelloffensive für das laufende Jahr. Da man bis Ende dieses Jahres einen Anteil von rund 60% der Serial ATA-Technologie an gesamten Fetplattenmarkt erwartet und man neuen Standards wie PCI-Express gerecht werden muss, will sich Silicon Image hiermit einen großen Anteil des Kuchens bei den Mainboardherstellern sichern. Uns wurden diesbezüglich Informationen zugespielt, womit wir in den kommenden Monaten bei neuen Mainboards, z.B. mit dem von Silicon Image explizit angesprochenen Intel Grantsdale ausgestattet, rechnen können.

Zum Einen wird es mit dem Sil3611 einen Controllerchip geben, der es den Mainboardherstellern erlaubt, einige der Serial-ATA Anschlüße des ICH6 als reguläre IDE-Schnittstellen mit Support für UDMA133 auszuführen. Damit werden die Hersteller flexibler, da der ICH6 ja von Haus aus nur noch einen parallelen Festplattenanschluß hat.



Als weitere Produkte werden wir mit dem Sil3512 einen Nachfolger des Sil3112A zu Gesicht bekommen. Die herausragenden Features des zum Vorgänger softwarekompatiblen Modells werden eine aktualisiere PCI-Revision und Native Command Queuing sein. Es bleibt dabei bei zwei Anschlüssen für serielle Massenspeichergeräte. Forciert werden soll damit auch die Einsatzmöglichkeit von SATA zum Anschluß externer Geräte, um PC-Gehäuse kleiner zu machen und eine größere Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit als USB- oder Firewire-Lösungen zu bieten. Da im Grunde alle externen Festplatten im Inneren ATA-Platten seien, käme hierbei die volle Serial-ATA Geschwindigkeit zum Zuge und die heute übliche Übersetzung der Daten ins jeweilige Transportformat entfiele. Silicon Image spricht hierbei von einem Faktor 2-3 bei den Übertragungsraten.

Etwas gehobeneren Ansprüchen folgend bietet das Unternehmen noch im Laufe dieses Jahres Controller für Serial ATA II und PCI Express. Rein für Workstation- und Serversysteme interessant ist dabei das Update des Sil3124-1 auf den Sil3124-2. Der PCI-X Chip wird dabei um das Serial ATA II-Protokoll erweitert, so dass die doppelte Geschwindigkeit ermöglicht wird. Es bleibt aber bei vier Steckpfosten und den gängigen Features wie Hot Plugging und Native Command Queuing. Deutlich interessanter, auch für den Desktopmarkt, könnte der Sil3132 werden. Silicon Images erstes Produkt für PCI-Express wird in einem 1x Host Interface Platz finden und Serial ATA II in den Massenmarkt bringen, lange bevor es in die Chipsätze integriert sein wird. Die beiden Anschlüße des Controllers werden sowohl Festplatten als auch ATAPI-Geräte unterstützen und Native Command Queuing verstehen.

Ein beachtenswertes Feature der PCI-X und PCI-Express Neuheiten wird der mögliche Einsatz eines Port Multipliers sein. Dabei wird es möglich sein, bis zu 15 SATA-Geräte an einen Port des Host Controllers anzuschließen. Die Geräte teilen sich dann die Gesamtbandbreite von 3Gb/s des SATA II Standards. Die Zusammensetzung der angeschlossenen Geräte ist dabei beliebig; es können also sowohl SATA I als auch SATA II-Devices gemischt zum Einsatz kommen.

Can HDMI boost the TV market?

By Terry Relph-Knight [24-03-2004]



In most developed countries the colour television market is long past the first adopter stage, so television manufacturers are looking to new technologies - such as high definition TV, digital pictures, home cinema and surround sound - as incentives for consumers to buy new televisions.
High definition multimedia interface, or HDMI, is one of an emerging group of standards that provide higher performance, easier use and added features to help make purchasing a new TV a more attractive proposition.

Rather than taking a completely fresh approach, HDMI builds on the standards and techniques that have emerged over the past 10 years, so to understand HDMI it is helpful to review the recent history of the display interface.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Early video interfaces In the early days of video recorders the only video output connection to the TV was through the coaxial aerial socket. Then in 1980 the French introduced the Scart (Syndicat des Constructeurs d`Appareils Radiorecepteurs et Televiseurs) connector.

This was apparently an attempt to limit the sales of imported televisions, because it was illegal to sell a television without a Scart connector, in France but Scart rapidly became a European standard.

The VGA bodge
Since the birth of the home computer, first nineand then 15-pin sub-miniature `D`-type connectors, now commonly referred to as VGA connectors, have been used as the standard analogue video signal connector for PCs.

However, these connectors were never designed for use with video signals - they were simply industry standard connectors that were relatively cheap and could fit on the end bracket of a video card.

A number of methods for identifying the capabilities of the connected display have been added to the basic VGA connection as part of the general plug and play strategy.

In 1994, DDC (display data channel) was introduced to allow VGA connected displays to send up to 128 bytes of identification data. This was replaced in 1999 by the more capable E-DDC (extended display data channel).

DDC set the standards for EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) and EEDID, which is supported by HDMI.

The first DVI standard
In 1999 digital video interface (DVI) was introduced as the standard interface for the new flat panel displays and was designed for use with computers.

While DVI sought to replace the elderly VGA analogue video standard with a cleaner digital connection, it was hampered by the need to provide backwards compatibility through support for analogue video signals.

If LCD and other flat screen technologies had been able to take over the display market four to five years ago, DVI would probably now be the default video interface.

As it is, the ancient analogue, CRT based technology refuses to die, because it can still provide quality displays at substantially lower prices than LCD. VGA and its extended variants, although pushed well past their original technical limits, have survived with it.

DVI and HDCP The high-definition (HDTV) market has now taken up DVI.

In 2001 Silicon Image announced a system that provided high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP), a co-development by Intel and Silicon Image. HDCP encrypts the video output, so that a display with decoding technology is required to view the video.

The Silicon Image PanelLink series of digital video interface chips use this system, with DVI providing the physical connection.

Interface chip design
The key to higher bandwidth interfaces is the design and availability of cheap driver and receiver chips, so it is interface chip technology that sets the pace of interface design.

Transmitting high-definition digital video and surround sound or multi-track digital audio across several metres of cable requires high performance drive and receiver chips.

Although now adopted as an industry standard, HDMI was developed by Silicon Image, the same company that was responsible for DVI.

Silicon Image licenses the HDMI technology to other chip manufacturers as well as manufacturing its own line of PanelLink Cinema chips for HDMI applications.

Convenience for the consumer and protection for media giants
More than just a video interface, HDMI combines uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single digital interface with a bandwidth of up to 5Gbps.

HDMI also capitalises on the interoperability standards created by the Consumer Electronics Association and supports many of the capabilities of the AV.link interoperability protocol popular in Europe, including the control of multiple source devices through a single remote pointed at the digital TV.

From the consumer`s point of view, HDMI offers the benefits of a simple single cable interconnection using a standardised connector. It offers the prospect of using identical single cables to link all domestic audio and video systems, along with a common, distributed method for remote control.

As far as the media industry is concerned, HDMI offers copyright protection through HDCP technology, which addresses the issue of protecting high-value content from unauthorised reproduction and distribution.

THE NUTS AND BOLTS
Although the connectors and cables are new, HDMI builds on the protocols and technology developed over the past few years.

The transceiver technology is basically the same as that developed for DVI. HDCP first appeared as an addition to DVI; and the AV.link remote control, the EDID display identity protocol and the surround sound audio features are all pre-existing standards.

TMDS and HDMI cable length
HDMI uses the TMDS (transition minimised differential signalling) channels first seen in DVI. Like DVI, HDMI allows for one or two TMDS links with three TMDS channels per link and a maximum bandwidth per channel of 165MHz.

Video pixel clocks are transmitted over a fourth TMDS, which is used by the PanelLink receiver as a data recovery reference for the other three channels.

HDMI differs from DVI in its support for video and surround audio and for remote control signals. Video and audio signals are multiplexed at the source transmitter, passed across the links as packet data and demultiplexed at the Sink or receiver.

The TMDS technology in PanelLink is designed to support cable lengths of up to 15 metres in copper. Longer connections will be possible using fibre optic cables.

HDMI connectors and cables
HDMI uses a single cable for audio and video. Two connector types are used - the 19-pin type A and the 29-pin type B.

The Type A connector supports a single TMDS link, so it can only carry signals up to 165 megapixels per second.

A Type B connection doubles up to two TMDS links and therefore can support signal bandwidths up to 330 megapixels per second. This is the same scheme as used for DVI, but with different connectors.

It is possible to connect an A device and a B device, or a DVI connection and an HDMI connection with a conversion cable, although the maximum performance of the connected devices may not match.

A CHANGE IN DIRECTION
Since the beginnings of DVI, Silicon Image and its partners in the development of HDMI seem to have altered their approach, probably in response to market pressures.

While the DVI specification clearly states that DVI was intended as a transitional interface - to replace the analogue VGA computer display standard with a dual purpose digital/analogue display interface -the HDMI specification emphasises domestic consumer HDTV applications and doesn`t mention computer applications.

In the UK, HDMI implementations are limited to some DVD players for connection to large-format domestic plasma displays.

Although HDMI doesn`t seem to be encouraging it, it will be interesting to see if HDMI is taken up by the computer industry and whether it might then enable the longanticipated convergence of computing and home entertainment electronics

SILICON IMAGE EXPANDS STORAGE DIVISION TO CAPITALIZE ON REVOLUTIONARY SATA-BASED STORAGE ARCHITECTURE

Management Aligned to Target High-Growth Storage Opportunities

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 1, 2004 — Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, announced today that it has expanded its storage operations to address storage platforms opportunities with a revolutionary new Serial ATA (SATA)-based architecture.

To strengthen its focus and capitalize on high-growth storage opportunities, the Company has made the following management changes. Steve Tirado, formerly company president, will become division president of the storage group, reporting to Dr. David Lee, Silicon Image chairman and CEO. Also joining the storage group is Jimmy Garcia-Meza, former vice president of worldwide sales, who will now serve as vice president of sales and marketing for storage platforms, reporting to Mr. Tirado. Former senior director of North America East and EMEA, Rob Valiton, will become Silicon Image`s vice president of worldwide sales, reporting to David Lee. Dr. Lee will assume Mr. Tirado`s former responsibilities until a search is completed.

"Our innovative new architecture for SATA-based platforms requires the expansion of our storage business to capitalize on this significant growth opportunity. To monetize this opportunity requires the development of new products, channels and partners. Following a strong finish to 2003 and a very strong beginning for 2004, we felt the time was now right to deploy resources to this initiative. Steve and Jimmy have been instrumental in positioning and growing the company to this stage, and we are counting on them to grow our storage business to a new level. I am also very pleased to promote Rob Valiton to the senior management team. Having responsibility for managing several large OEM accounts, Rob has long been recognized as an outstanding member of our sales organization and a rising star within the company," said Dr. Lee.

"With its innovative and robust SATA technology, Silicon Image has rapidly become a world force in the SATA storage solutions market. Our SATALink™ solutions have been deployed across more than 4 million systems, and I am excited to build our business on this unique and revolutionary SATA architecture," said Steve Tirado. "The storage industry has yet to see a true storage appliance model capable of scaling from the consumer to the enterprise. Our upcoming storage solutions will deliver unprecedented price/performance, combined with the simplicity of direct attached storage (DAS) and the robustness and features of a storage area network (SAN). We intend to use this architecture to strengthen our relationships with our existing customers and strategic partners."

Ich denke, der Kurs wird bis zum 20.April langsam aber beständig nach oben gezogen. 18 bis 20 Dollar sind bei diesem Wert locker drin. Nach Bestätigung der erwarteten Gewinnaussichten wird es einige Verkäufe geben die durchaus nochmal die 12-Dollar-Marke testen können, ganz nach dem Motto "Sell in May and....." Da die Chip-Branche aber Vorreiter ist in Punkto Aufschwung wird es anschließend rasant nach oben weitergehen. Man muß wissen wo die Aktie herkommt, trotz Split! Wichtig ist nur, daß die 12-Dollar-Marke hält und einen Boden bildet. Also weiter dranbleiben. An der Börse wird nicht geklingelt aber dieser Zug hier pfeift so laut, lauter gehts nicht mehr!

Der Aufsetzer müßte idealerweise jetzt bei 12,50-12,60 Dollar erfolgen. Dann wieder hoch mit 2 oder 3 Peitschenschlägen bis in den Bereich 15 bis 18 Dollar, je nach Ausgang der Daten am Dienstag. (die weiteren Prognosen für AMD wurden schon nach oben gesetzt...!).

Silicon Image Reports Record Second Quarter 2004 Revenues Selected Q2 Highlights:


SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jul 20, 2004 (PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX) -- Silicon
Image, Inc. , a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure
transmission and storage of rich digital media, today reported financial results
for its second quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Revenue of $43.4 million was achieved for the second quarter. This was an
increase of 21 percent from revenue of $35.9 million achieved in the first
quarter of 2004, and was an increase of 78 percent from revenue of $24.3 million
in the second quarter of 2003. Year-to-date revenue totaled $79.2 million, an
increase of 62 percent from revenue of $49.0 million for the first six months of
2003.

Net loss under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which includes
stock compensation expense, gain on a derivative investment security,
amortization of intangible assets and patent defense costs was $0.3 million, or
$0.00 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. This
compares to a net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share,
for the previous quarter, and a net loss of $8.7 million, or $0.13 per basic and
diluted share, for the second quarter of 2003. On a year-to-date basis, the GAAP
net loss was $8.1 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, and compares to
a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, for the first
six months of 2003.

Second quarter pro-forma net income, calculated excluding $8.7 million of
charges for: a non-cash charge for stock compensation; a gain on a derivative
investment security net of taxes; a non-cash expense for the amortization of
intangible assets; and cash legal expenses associated with patent litigation
lawsuit was $8.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. This compares to pro-
forma net income of $4.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first
quarter of 2004, and a pro-forma net profit of $0.0 million, or $0.00 per
diluted share, for the second quarter of 2003.

Commenting on the results, David Lee, Silicon Image`s chairman and chief
executive officer, said, "We had another great quarter with increased pro-forma
profitability. Our CE business is growing rapidly and the adoption of HDMI is
readily apparent by the number of HDMI products now available in retail and the
number of adopters having exceeded 110. Fueled by increased DVI adoption, our PC
business grew for the fourth consecutive quarter. DisplaySearch reports that DVI
host adoption has now reached 37 percent. In general, our business outlook
remains strong and we enter the third quarter with strong visibility."

"While our storage business weakened due to a slowdown in demand for fibre
channel solutions and the absence of new storage IP licensing contracts, our
SATA IC revenues grew sequentially by 22 percent," noted Silicon Image`s chief
financial officer, Robert Gargus. "Later this year we plan to unveil a new SATA
storage architecture and product offering that we expect will add to our storage
growth projections. Overall we posted excellent financial results with pro-forma
profitability exceeding 19 percent of revenue. Based on our backlog visibility
entering the quarter, we are projecting third quarter revenues to improve 5-10
percent over second quarter results."

[woody1]

Jetzt fängt das Baby wohl endlich an zu rennen und keiner außer mir merkt es wohl.

Schlusskurs heute auf 12-Monatshoch bei USD 14,44 und das bei 4-fachem Umsatz als im Durchschnitt . Und die weiteren Aussichten sind gar nicht mal so schlecht....

[squeezer78]

Ich bin bei dir woody. :-)

Ich halte auch schon seit längerem ein paar Scheinchen von diesem Laden. Bin mal gespannt wie es weiter geht. Das neue 52 Wochen hoch stimmt mich positiv.

[woody1]

Schön, dass Du auch hier bist, squeezer. Bin schon 4 Jahre dabei und des öfteren mal nachgelegt. Geduld zahlt sich halt irgendwann mal aus. 30 Euro pro Schein wären schon nicht schlecht . Aber bis dahin dauert es noch ein wenig. Ich denke, bis zu den kommenden Zahlen geht es noch ein Stückchen höher, bevor wir wieder ein paar Abstriche machen müssen. Ist halt wie immer. Aber der Trend nach oben ist erkennbar.

Endlich mal keine Pusheraktie

Viele Grüße

Silicon Image Addresses Convergence in Digital Home and Broadband Technology at IAFA 2004



SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Leading multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions provider for secure transmission and storage of rich digital media Silicon Image (Nasdaq: SIMG) today announced that it is participating in the Information Appliances Forum Asia (IAFA) 2004 commenced in Shanghai today as one of its sponsors. John LeMoncheck, Vice President of Consumer Electronics and PC/Display Businesses, Silicon Image, Inc., delivered a keynote speech titled "Delivering High-Value Content Through Secure Interoperable Digital Interfaces" at the session of Infrastructure for Digital Home Appliances at the Forum.

The growing availability of compelling digital content, and the promise of more premium content to come, is driving consumers to purchase Digital TVs (DTVs) in greater numbers than ever before. When a consumer takes the plunge and purchases a new DTV or HDTV, they can be expected to purchase several complementary devices to deliver this digital content to their DTV. Not surprisingly, consumers want to rest easy knowing their DTV interoperates with all the devices in their home theater, and that they can access new content and interactive services as they become available.

"HDMI, the new uncompressed, all-digital CE interface coupling uncompressed HD video and multi-channel audio in a single cable, has quickly emerged as the standard for connecting HDTV," said LeMoncheck. To accelerate the introduction of premium services, the HDMI interface is complemented by HDCP content protection. While protecting the valuable assets of content owners, HDCP is completely transparent to consumers. Interoperability of both HDMI and HDCP across different manufacturers` devices is key to delivering consumers an extraordinary digital television experience regardless of the products and brands they purchase.

"Silicon Image`s popular and widely supported PanelLink Cinema Partners Program is key to identifying devices capable of receiving and playing the most valuable digital content. Consumers can be confident that HDMI systems bearing the PanelLink Cinema Partners logo have been tested for HDCP functionality and content readiness, meaning they are interoperable and ready to receive and play premium digital content," added LeMoncheck.

About HDMI

Developed by Sony, Hitachi, Thomson (RCA), Philips, Matsushita (Panasonic), Toshiba and Silicon Image as the digital interface standard for the consumer electronics market, the HDMI specification combines uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single digital interface to provide crystal-clear digital quality over a single cable.

About Silicon Image`s PanelLink Cinema Partners Program

The PanelLink(R) Cinema Partners Program provides consumers with a simple means of identifying HDTVs and other consumer electronics devices capable of receiving and playing the most valuable digital content. HDMI systems bearing the PanelLink Cinema Partners logo have been tested for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection functionality and content readiness. The PanelLink Cinema Partners Program is open to manufacturers of CE devices implementing HDMI/HDCP, including HDTVs, DTVs, set-top boxes, DVD players, A/V receivers, semiconductors and cables.

Net loss under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which includes stock compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, loss (gain) on derivative investment security, restructure expenses, gain on escrow settlement, in-process research and development expenses and patent defense costs, was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. This compares to net income of $7.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the prior quarter, and a net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2003. On a full year basis, the GAAP net loss was $324,000 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $12.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for 2003.

Fourth quarter pro-forma* net income was $10.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

Pro-forma net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 excludes $10.4 million of charges attributable to the following: a non-cash charge for stock compensation; patent defense costs; and non-cash charges for the amortization of intangible assets.

On a full year basis, the pro-forma net income was $33.4 million or $0.39 per diluted share, which compares to pro-forma net income of $2.3 million or $0.03 per diluted share. Pro-forma net income for FY 2004 excludes $33.7 million of charges attributable to the following: a non-cash charge for stock compensation, patent defense costs, non-cash gain on derivative investments and a non-cash charge for amortization of intangible assets.

"The fourth quarter marked the completion of a very successful year for Silicon Image. We saw revenue grow 67 percent year-over-year. Our gross margins expanded to 62.4 percent in the fourth quarter and reflected an average improvement year-over-year in excess of 600 basis points. In addition to our financial success, we saw HDMI continue its rapid adoption, and we have clearly established ourselves as the quality and interoperability leader. Furthermore, the successful launch of our new SteelVine(TM) products positions us for above average growth in our storage business for 2005 and 2006," commented Steve Tirado, Silicon Image``s new president and chief executive officer.

"Despite a tight business climate, we were able to achieve record product revenue, expand our gross margins and tightly control our operating expenses. Even so, in the fourth quarter we experienced a decline in our licensing revenue, resulting in flat earnings per diluted share quarter-to-quarter. The decline in licensing revenue was due to a multi-million dollar transaction anticipated to close in the fourth quarter. We continue to work this deal and are optimistic that it will close in the first quarter," commented Bob Gargus, chief financial officer of Silicon Image. "Furthermore, it is noteworthy to point out that on a year-to-year revenue increase of slightly under $70 million, we were able to improve our pro-forma bottom line by slightly more than $31 million to the bottom-line. Our improved financials combined with our new products, the various partnerships, and the rapid adoption of HDMI contributed to a very good year for Silicon Image."

The Company will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. PST today to discuss its fourth quarter 2004 results and business outlook. The call will be broadcast over the Internet and can be accessed on the investor relations section of the Company``s Web site located at http://www.siliconimage.com/.

[barabo]

@ ixilon

danke für deine Postings !!

Ich finde es mutig von dir, dass du eine erste Position aufgebaut hast. - Zwar hast du recht, dass bei 10 USD eine Unterstützung auszumachen ist, aber ein Absturz von 18 auf 10 USD in nur drei Monaten muss in Verbindung mit der Firmensituation stehen. - Aus den Firmennachrichten kann ich es nicht interpretieren.
Also was steckt genau hinter dem Absturz ?

Freitag 18.3.05 haben die 10 USD gehalten und vieles spricht dafür, dass nun eine Gegenreaktion (und wenn sie nur charttechnischer Art ist) bis ca. 12 - 13 USD folgen wird.
Aus meiner Sicht müsstest du bei 12 USD als kurzfristiger Anleger wieder rausgehen, weil die Gefahr besteht, dass der steile 3 monatige Abwärtstrend wieder greift. Erst bei deutlicher Überwindung von 14 USD würde ich einen langfristig orientierten Einstieg für sinnvoll einschätzen. Wie siehst du das ?

@barabo,

ich war dann doch nicht so mutig
Die 10$ haben ja nicht gehalten, aber die Unterstützung bei 9$ scheint jetzt zu halten (ist aber noch ein GAP vom 9.01.04 nicht ganz geschlossen) gibt heute ja eine erste Gegenreaktion.
Wenn es jetzt über den Widerstand bei 10$ geht werde ich mit einer Tradingposition reingehen und bei 12$ und später bei 14$ (hier wartet ja auch noch ein GAP) aussteigen.
Du hast recht man sollte erst bei Überwindung der 14$ long gehen.

Silicon Image Shares Fall on 4Q Results

Tuesday January 25, 11:45 am ET
Silicon Image Shares Fall Nearly 25 Percent on Fourth-Quarter Results, Steven Laub`s Resignation

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -- Shares of Silicon Image Inc. plummeted nearly 25 percent Tuesday morning after the chip maker reported fourth-quarter results that missed Wall Street expectations, and disclosed its recently hired president, chief executive and director, Steven Laub resigned.

The company said Laub stepped down because of issues related to the scope of his role and responsibilities.

Silicon Image shares fell $3.31, or 23.4 percent, to $10.83 in morning trading on the Nasdaq, after dropping as much as $3.51, or 24.8 percent, to $10.63 earlier in the day.

The company posted a fourth-quarter loss of $80,000, or break even on a per-share basis, compared to a loss of $5.3 million, or 7 cents per share a year ago. The results included charges for stock compensation, patent defense costs, and amortization of intangible assets.

Excluding items, the company posted net income of $10.3 million, or 12 cents per share, up from $2.3 million, or 3 cents per share, a year ago. Revenue rose to $46.1 million from $30.3 million.

However, the results fell short of expectations from analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call, who predicted earnings of 13 cents per share on revenue of $48.4 million.

The company said its licensing revenue dropped due to a multimillion dollar deal expected to close in the fourth quarter, but is now anticipated to close in the first quarter.

For the full year, the company posted a loss of $324,000, or break-even per share, compared to a loss of $12.8 million, or 18 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding items, net income rose to $33.4 million, or 39 cents per share, from $2.3 million, or 3 cents per share, in 2003.

Analysts expected earnings of 40 cents per share. Revenue rose to $173.2 million from $103.5 million.

The company said Laub will be replaced by Steve Tirado, who previously worked as president of the company`s storage division. Before that, Tirado served as chief operating officer from November 2000 to March 2004, as well as president from January 2003 until last March.

Additionally, the company named Christopher Paisley chairman, replacing David Lee who will remain a Silicon Image board member and was named chairman of the company`s PanelLink Cinema LLC unit. Paisley has been an independent director since April, and was previously senior vice president of finance and chief financial officer for 3Com Corp. for 15 years, the company said.

HDTV ohne analoges Loch

...

Chip-Offensive

Röhren-, LCD- und Plasma-Displays mit HDMI-Eingang dürften in Zukunft immer häufiger anzutreffen sein. Um ihre Verbreitung zu fördern, bedient Silicon Image (SI) mit seinem neuen Empfänger-Chip SiI 8100 auch analoge Eingänge: Er enthält neben einem HDMI-Receiver für digitale Videobilder bis zur Auflösung 1080p (mit Voll- statt Halbbildern) beziehungsweise bis SXGA (mit 1280 x 1024 Pixeln) auch einen Analog-Digital-Wandler, der analoge Videosignale mit einer Halbbildauflösung von bis zu 1080i beziehungsweise PC-Bilder bis zu SXGA-Auflösung mit einer Frequenz von 75 Hz entgegennimmt.

Zur Wandlung der angelieferten Halbbilder in die vom Display verlangten Vollbilder ist ein bewegungsadaptiver Deinterlacer mit an Bord. Dank PAL- und NTSC-Unterstützung und 50/60-Hertz-Upspeed-Funktion lassen sich die mit dem SiI 8100 ausgestatten Displays weltweit betreiben. Daneben bietet der SiI 8100 einen integriertem Farbraum-Konverter zwischen YUV und RGB, einen Videoscaler, einen Microcontroller vom Typ 8051 mit 40 MHz Taktfrequenz sowie eine programmierbare On-Screen-Display-Engine mit Unterstützung von Font- und Bitmap-basierten Grafiken.

Zudem bringt Silicon Image mit dem SiI 9011 nun einen „Billig-Empfänger-Chip“ zum 10K-Preis von knapp 7 US-Dollar auf den Markt, während das Unternehmen im vergangenen Jahr bei Abnahme von 10 000 Stück für einen HDMI-Receiver noch rund 10 bis 15 US-Dollar verlangte. Erklärtes Ziel ist es, den Mainstream-Markt mit Display-Größen zwischen 20 und 36 Zoll (50,8 bis 91,44 Zentimeter) zu erobern. LG Electronics hat bereits bekannt gegeben, den SiI 9011 in eine Reihe seiner neuen Plasma- und LCD-Fernsehgeräten einzubauen.

Über die HDMI-Verbreitung bei größeren Displays braucht sich der Chiphersteller in den USA aufgrund einer Anordnung der dortigen Regulierungsbehörde FCC keine Gedanken mehr zu machen: Danach muss jeder nach dem 1. Juli 2005 verkaufte Fernseher mit einer Bilddiagonalen über 36 Zoll, der für den Empfang des amerikanischen Digitalfernsehens vorbereitet ist, mit einem HDMI- oder einem HDCP-geschützten DVI-Eingang ausgestattet sein.

Commenting on the distribution agreement with Weikeng, Jimmy Garcia-Meza, vice president, storage products business for Silicon Image, noted, "Weikeng has been a valued and successful partner for Silicon Image for the last five years. They have developed a significant presence in the Greater China market and have also developed a strong partnership with disk drive vendors to supply SATA disk drives in the region. Their geographic coverage and channel and customer relationships are well suited for marketing the SteelVine product line to SMBs in the region. In addition, Weikeng has the ability to integrate SV2000 systems with hard drives, complementing our business model and resulting in lower costs and local service and support for end customers."

Garcia-Meza added, "Dreamintek has an established reputation supplying integrated hardware and software solutions, with a strong emphasis on networking and storage, to the Korean IT market. They have close relationships with key customers in the education, government and telecommunications sectors in Korea. We are pleased to partner with Dreamintek to establish a SteelVine presence in Korea, and look forward to a successful relationship."

Stan Chi, president of Weikeng Industrial Co., stated, "We have been a Silicon Image partner for several years and have been successfully marketing SATA-based solutions in Taiwan, China and Singapore. The SteelVine architecture enables a new category of storage systems that delivers the simplicity, reliability, performance and affordability that the rapidly growing China market needs. We are excited about the opportunity and the expanded relationship with Silicon Image."

Dreamintek CEO JinSool Kim noted, "The SteelVine architecture brings enterprise-class features and performance to SMBs in a storage appliance that is simple, reliable, affordable and scalable. We are pleased to be marketing SteelVine in Korea and believe this technology will revolutionize storage for SMBs."

GAAP net income was $16.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, and compares to a net loss of $7.9 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the year ago quarter .

Somit wurde MEHR als ein Viertel des Gewinnes, der von Analysten für das gesamte Jahr 2005 geschätzt wurde bereits in Q1 erwirtschaftet.

Schaut gut aus würd ich sagen und beweist wiedermal, dass auch die Analysten teilweise mit der Masse gehen: In der Krise alles mit "verkaufen" oder "hold" abstempeln und im Hype alles mit "kaufen" einstufen und völlig irrsinnige Kursziele angeben.
Für unsere SJJ ists in diesem Fall gut, da die Erwartungen übertroffen wurden.
....
Da bleib ich gern dabei! Die diversen Analysten haben ja schon teilweise nachgezogen. Wird nicht mehr lange dauern, bis andere drauf kommen, dass diese Akten eigentlich unter ihrem Wert gehandelt werden.
Wie immer : Es kommt halt darauf an WANN man in einen Trend einsteigt. Wenn diese Aktie die 12$ überschritten werden (wird meiner Ansicht nach in den nächsten 1-4 Wochen sein) und sie auf die 13$ bzw. darüber hinaus marschiert, dann kommen wieder alle drauf, dass dieses Unternehmen tolle Perspektiven bietet -> Ich bin dann schon längst drinnen gewesen

Silicon Image: Vier Vorstände gehen

Beim Chiphersteller Silicon Image (Nachrichten) haben vier Vorsandsmitglieder ihren Rücktritt eingereicht. Dabei haben sowohl Chairman Christopher Paisley als auch drei weitere Direktoren ihren Hut genommen. Als Begründung gaben sie Probleme mit dem Gründer des Unternehmens, David Lee, an. Es sei nicht vertretbar, so die ausgeschiedenen Führungskräfte, dass dieser sich erneut einer Wiederwahl stelle.

CEO Steve Tirado äußerte sich heute enttäuscht über den Fortgang seiner Vorstands-Kollegen. Er teilte außerdem mit, dass sich das Unternehmen jetzt nicht mehr in Einklang mit den Voraussetzungen für eine Notierung an der Nasdaq befinde. Die Regularien würden vorschreiben, dass der Vorstand mit mindestens drei unabhängigen Direktoren besetzt sein muss. Man arbeite nun zügig daran, diesen Missstand wieder aus der Welt zu schaffen.

Die Aktie von Silicon Image brach an der Nasdaq bislang um 21,76 Prozent auf 8,99 Dollar ein.

TV-Sender wollen WM 2006 in HDTV-Qualität ausstrahlen
Bilder werden ausschließlich hoch auflösend produziert

Zug (pte/12.05.2005/14:09) - Eine steigende Anzahl von Rundfunksendern verstärkt derzeit ihre Anstrengungen, die Fußballweltmeisterschaft im kommenden Jahr in HighDefinition-Qualität (HDTV) ausstrahlen zu können. Dies berichtet das Sportportal Sportbusiness.com. So nahmen mehr als 400 Delegierte von über 100 Radio- und Fernsehstationen in München an der ersten vorbereitenden Konferenz der Rundfunksender vor der WM 2006 Teil. Ausgerichtet wurde diese Konferenz von Host Broadcast Service (HBS) http://www.hostbroadcastservices.com, der Firma, die offiziell mit der Organisation der TV-Übertragung des Events beauftragt wurde.

HBS wird die Weltmeisterschaft im kommenden Jahr ausschließlich in HDTV-Qualität produzieren. Die Bilder werden den ausstrahlenden Fernsehstationen allerdings auch weiterhin in der bisherigen Standard-Qualität bereit gestellt. HDTV steht den Sendern als wählbare Option zur Verfügung.

Drei der weltweit bedeutendsten Märkte sind bereits von HDTV überzeugt: Japan, Korea und die Vereinigten Staaten signalisierten großes Interesse daran, die HDTV-Option für die WM 2006 in Anspruch zu nehmen. " Ich glaube, dass sich auch viele der führenden europäischen Sender für HDTV entscheiden werden" , sagte Francis Tellier, CEO von HBS. " Auch Lateinamerika zeigt sich interessiert - Mexiko könnte hier die Führung übernehmen." (Ende)

HDTV: Nichts geht ohne HDCP (high-bandwidth digital-content protection)

Lange haben es die Geräte-Hersteller ignoriert, doch inzwischen ist es klar: Vollen HDTV-Genuss wird es nur über digitale Schnittstellen geben, und zwar solche, die den Kopierschutz HDCP unterstützen. Das liegt daran, dass die Hollywood-Studios als wichtigste Lieferanten von hochauflösenden Programmen diesen Schutz verlangen. HDCP das steht für High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, es wurde entwickelt von Intel und Silicon Image. Einsatzgebiet ist die Übertragung unkomprimierter digitaler Daten über die Buchsen DVI und HDMI, die per Adapter miteinander komptibel sind.

"E" Removed From Silicon Image`s Trading Symbol

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, announced today that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Hearings Department notified the Company on June 8, 2005 that its trading symbol will change from "SIMGE" to "SIMG" effective with the open of business on June 10, 2005. The Hearings Department had previously notified the Company that an "E" was added to its trading symbol due to the alleged incomplete filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The removal of the "E" from the Company`s symbol evidences the fact that the NASDAQ Staff has concluded that the Company`s Form 10-K as previously amended is complete and the Company meets NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) filing requirements.

As previously announced, the Hearings Department notified the Company that it was not in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 4350 (c)(1) and 4350(d)(2) requiring that a majority of the Board be comprised of independent directors and that the Audit Committee be comprised of three independent directors, including at least one director with requisite financial sophistication. Subsequent to that notification and as previously announced, Silicon Image has recently appointed Masood Jabbar and Peter Hanelt to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee, bringing the total number of directors to six and Audit Committee members to three. Following the annual meeting of stockholders on June 15, 2005, a majority of the Company`s Board of Directors will be comprised of independent directors as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1). In addition, as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2), the Audit Committee is currently comprised of three independent directors, and each of Mr. Jabbar and Mr. Hanelt satisfies the financial sophistication requirement.

On June 8, 2005, the Hearings Department notified the Company that the NASDAQ staff has concluded that the Company has regained compliance with the Audit Committee requirements, and the NASDAQ Staff further acknowledges the Company will be in compliance with the majority independent director requirement on June 15, 2005 when the Annual Meeting occurs. The Hearings Department has not yet advised the Company that its listing review of the Company is complete.

Silicon Image Ranks Among Top 10 in Semiconductor IP Survey

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, today announced that it ranked among the Top 10 in Gartner, Inc.`s recently published 2004 Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Survey(1).

"Silicon Image Swings to 2Q Profit
Tuesday August 9, 1:49 pm ET
Silicon Image 2Q Profit Jumps on Stronger Sales, Beats Wall Street Estimate by a Penny


SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -- Semiconductor designer Silicon Image Inc. on Tuesday said it swung to a second-quarter profit, reversing a year-ago loss, and beat Wall Street`s earnings estimate by a penny.
ADVERTISEMENT




Net income rose to $10.5 million, or 12 cents per share, from a year-ago loss of $262,000, or break even per share. Excluding items, net income totaled $10.7 million. The company said that last year`s results included $9.1 million in stock compensation costs. Excluding those expenses and others, income in the 2004 quarter amounted to $8.3 million, or 10 cents per share.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial predicted lower quarterly earnings of 11 cents per share.

Revenue rose 17 percent to $50.7 million from $43.4 million, in line with analysts` consensus estimate.

WR Hambrecht & Co. analyst Michael Bertz downgraded Silicon Image shares to "Hold" from "Buy" in a brief morning note to clients Tuesday.

The company`s stock approached its 52-week low as shares declined $1.12, or 11.1 percent, to $9 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq. Silicon Image shares have traded between $8.69 and $18.37 over the past 12 months, and are down about 45 percent year-to-date."

[schachfrucht]

Nach Durchsicht des 22-seitigen 2. Quartalsberichtes 2005 verstehe ich den Kursverlauf der letzten Wochen und die Reaktion auf diesen nicht ganz (habe SIMG seit 2 Monaten auf meiner watchlist):
Die einzigen Wermutstropfen, die ich finden konnte, waren:
"The Purchase of Short-Term Investements" zog den Cash Flow runter.
Der Gewinn nahm im 2. Quartal im Vergleich zum ersten ab, ebenso wie die Lizenzeinnahmen (die spiegeln ja den aktuellen Stand bzgl. der Marktführerschaft bei HDI wider...).
Der Ausblick auf die Folgequartale ist seitens SIMG sehr verhalten formuliert worden.

Dieser Quartalsbericht stellt nur sehr kurzfristige Momente dar und ist nur auf den ersten Blick kritisch zu sehen (man vergl. die Berichte der Konkurrenz)...
Summa summarum finde ich die Aktie sehr niedrig bewertet (Gewinn 0,34 USD/Aktie im 1. Hj. 2005/ Erwartungen der Analysten um 1 Cent im 2. Q. geschlagen...) im peer-to-peer Vergleich, den Abschlag der letzten Wochen zu hoch und werde heute eine erste Position aufbauen - auch aus charttechnischen Gründen.

[Totho]

Ist bei mir auch auf der Watchlist. Überlege mir auch eine kleine Position. ALlerdings ist mir die Ausbildung der W-Formation ein Dorn im Auge.
Was hätltst du von Pixelworks, ist ähnlich beim Kursverlauf.

[schachfrucht]

Nun, ich kann mir kein Urteil über Pixelworks erlauben, ich habe mir die letzten Quartalsberichte durchgesehen und denke, daß die Branche derzeit abgestraft wird, weil das ehemals rasante Wachstum einiger dieser Firmen einen Dämpfer erhalten hat - und dies ist übrertrieben. Bei Silicon Image ist es anders herum: Die haben in den ersten beiden Quartalen erstmals wieder schwarze Zahlen geschrieben.
Ich habe mich aber in erster Linie deswegen so intensiv mit SIMG beschäftigt, weil ich begriffen habe, welches Potential in deren Technologie und den Lizenzen liegt. Zudem wirtschaften die jetzt gesund: Sie haben es sogar gewagt, die Analystenerwartungen noch zu übertreffen und trotzdem ist der Kurs in den letzten vier Wochen eingebrochen und hat sich in den letzten beiden Tagen kaum erholen können (derzeit 9,33 USD). Ich denke, daß wir in den nächsten 1-2 Jahren deutlich höhere Kurse sehen werden. Seit eben bin ich mit einer ersten Position dabei.

Silicon Image Unveils Breakthrough Next Generation 6.0 Gb/s SerDes Technology
Wednesday August 24, 7:15 am ET
Company Leads Charge in High Speed Serial Technology for Storage Applications


SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG - News), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, today announced its next generation multi-rate MSLPhy(TM) Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology, an integrated circuit transceiver that converts parallel data to serial data and vice-versa, capable of operating at bandwidths from 1.5 to 6.0 Gb/s. The MSLPhy is a low-cost solution for the storage market and other future mass markets with aggressive price/performance requirements. Silicon Image will be showcasing the 6.0 Gb/s SerDes technology at booth number 409 during the Intel Developer Forum (IDF), being held August 23-25 at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The next generation MSLPhy SerDes technology is capable of meeting multiple standards in the storage markets including Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI. Combined with this week`s introduction of Silicon Image`s SiI 4723, the industry`s first storage processor to offer 3Gb/s port speeds with hardware RAID, this announcement extends Silicon Image`s leadership in high-speed serial technology for storage applications.

"Silicon Image continues to demonstrate leadership in silicon innovation," says Steve Tirado, Silicon Image`s president and chief executive officer. "Being able to operate at 6Gb/s, the MSLPhy SerDes technology achieves a price/performance that is unmatched today and enables the continual evolution of the PC, CE and storage markets."

The continued demand for greater bandwidth is necessitating increases in SerDes speed. The new MSLPhy SerDes technology provides a next generation, high-speed, serial, point-to-point link between devices and leverages much of the circuit innovation at the physical layer of Silicon Image`s proprietary reduced overhead Multi-layer Serial Link (MSL) architecture. The MSL architecture is a robust, high-speed serial link IC technology that is key to achieving unparalleled price/performance. The MSL architecture includes a physical layer, coding layer and protocol layer, all on a single chip. Each of these layers is optimized for the particular application being addressed. By implementing the MSL architecture in low-cost CMOS technology, Silicon Image is able to deliver low-cost, high-bandwidth solutions for high-volume applications.

The next generation MSLPhy SerDes technology is implemented in standard 0.13 micron CMOS which offers high speed in a low-cost, robust design. The technology is critical for high-volume, mass markets and is also well suited to meet the needs of the PC, server and consumer electronics (CE) markets with aggressive price/performance requirements. Specific applications that benefit from this increased price/performance include direct attached storage (DAS) and network attached storage (NAS).

Silicon Image`s market-leading implementations of the Digital Video Interface (DVI) and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standards for the display market, 2Gb/s Fibre Channel SerDes,1.5Gb/s and 3.0Gb/s Serial ATA, are also all based on this MSL architecture.

Availability

Silicon Image reports that engineering samples are currently available for strategic development partners, with sampling targeted for Q2 2006. Future generation SATA and Serial Attached SCSI interfaces, which require 6.0Gb/s, can begin with select partners in early 2006. The 6.0Gb/s SerDes will also available for license as an IP core for System on a Chip (SoC) and ASIC designs.

Silicon Image Reports Record Revenues and Significant Increase in Pre-Tax Income for the Third Quarter 2005


SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in the secure distribution, presentation and storage of high definition content, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2005.

* Revenue for the third quarter was at a record $56.0 million, an increase
of 10.4% from $50.7 million in the second quarter of 2005 and an
increase of 17.0% from $47.9 million in the third quarter of 2004.

* Revenue from Consumer Electronics IC`s grew 23% from the prior quarter
to $31 million

* Licensing revenue increased 65% from the prior quarter to $5.6 million

* IC bookings grew to a record of over $76 million

* HDMI signed 49 new adopters to a total of over 290

* Bill George, VP of Operations at On Semiconductor, joined the Silicon
Image board of directors

* Pre-tax income for the third quarter was $15.7 million, an increase of

$1.4 million, as compared to a stock compensation expense of $1.3
million in the second quarter of 2005 and a stock compensation expense
of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2004.

During the quarter the Company determined that, based on favorable operating results in 2005, it may be appropriate to release a portion of the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. As a result the Company is performing an analysis to determine the extent to which the allowance should be released. Because this analysis has not been completed, the Company has limited this release to a discussion of income before provision for income taxes.

"While our ongoing evaluation of the deferred tax allowance prevented us from reporting net income in this release, the fact that we are undertaking this task at this time is an affirmation of our continuing profitable performance and our confidence that we will be able to use this deferred tax asset to offset future income," added Robert Freeman, interim chief financial officer.

The company will host a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time today to discuss its third quarter 2005 results and business outlook.

Tageshoch bei 9,61 Dollar

[schachfrucht]

Das bedeutet, daß bisher schon ca. 0,50 USD in den ersten neun Monaten pro Aktie verdient wurden und zudem sind die Auftragsbücher voll!
Wenn das 4. Quartal auf dem Niveau des 3. bleiben sollte, kommen da noch einmal ca. 20 Cents dazu...:
Das wäre dann ein KGV von gerade einmal rund 13 auf 2005er Basis und im Branchenvergleich geradezu lächerlich.
Ich denke, daß wir hier bald zweistellige Kurse sehen werden...

Die neuen Short Interest Zahlen zum 14.10. sind da.
