Today Panasonic introduced the MN2WS006, the first single chip signal processing LSI for Blu-ray Disc players. The new chip will allow mounting surface to be 50% smaller, it will use 25% less power and it is compatible with profile 2.0 standards, which include functions such as dual-screen simultaneous video playback, high-quality audio playback and network compatibility. The MN2WS006 will have the Panasonic’s updated UniPhier platform and will support all high definition video and audio formats. Before this chip, players required seven external memory chips and separate front and back end LSIs. This new technology will allow Panasonic to make players slimmer.

Panasonic will start having samples shipped out on June.
