SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- A new class of devices, Digital Media Adapters (DMAs), Digital Media Players (DMPs), and Digital Media Receivers (DMRs) is emerging in the connected digital home, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). DMAs, DMPs and DMRs allow consumers to connect audio players, televisions, PCs, and other devices to the Internet and to digital storage devices for media recording and playback.
In-Stat has identified over 40 competitors offering products in the segment. Similarly, a range of semiconductor competitors have positioned processors and Application Specific Standard Products (ASSPs) targeting the emerging equipment market.
"Early competitors were primarily either networking equipment companies or small start-ups," says Norm Bogen, VP of In-Stat's Digital Entertainment research. "But now a much broader range of device manufacturers are positioning competitive devices. However, the biggest challenge to this market category is the proliferation of networked game consoles, Internet-connected set top boxes, networked DTVs, and networked Blu-ray devices that support web-to-TV video and other services."
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
-- Nearly 4.5 million DMAs, DMPs, and DMRs will be sold worldwide in 2013.
-- Chip providers competing in the market include Intel, NXP, Sigma Designs
and Texas Instruments.
-- Over 1/2 of US home network users are at least somewhat interested in a
consumer electronics product that enables Online Video Services,
including streaming and downloading.
The research, "Networked Digital Media Adapter/Player/Receiver Market Gets Crowded" (#IN0904621RC), covers the worldwide market for networked DMAs, DMPs, and DMRs. It includes:
-- Forecasts of worldwide DMA, DMP, and DMR units sold through 2013.
-- Segmentations for audio vs. A/V products, products that are enabled with
Wi-Fi (Ethernet plus Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi only) vs. those with wired LAN only.
-- Product definitions, market trends, and vendors.
-- A detailed product matrix for selected vendors is also included with 28
columns of features identified, including which CPUs are used in various
models.
-- Results and analysis of an In-Stat North American consumer survey
regarding online-capable CE devices.
-- Summary of recent market announcements by major players: Western
