Our products include integrated circuits and related products used in DVD players, movie and home theater systems, digital cameras and video editing systems, standard and high definition digital televisions, and set-top boxes. We also provide high performance, low-power application processors, technology and products for the multimedia mobile phone market, and digital imaging semiconductor products and software that enable users to print, scan, process and transmit documents.
