Number of employees 565 (2008) Website Footnotes / references Trident Microsystems was a company that in the 1990s was a well-known supplier of used in and on for and. In 2003, it transformed itself into being a supplier of display processors for digital televisions (primarily ) and achieved success starting from 2005, at a time when the global LCD TV market started showing strong growth.

It filed for protection in January 2012 and the delisting of its common stock from the stock market was announced shortly thereafter. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • History [ ] Supplier of PC graphics chipsets [ ] Established in 1987, Trident gained a reputation for selling inexpensive (for the time) but slow chipsets. Many OEMs built add-in-boards using Trident chipsets. As the PC graphics market shifted from simple framebuffer displays (basic VGA color monitor and later multi-resolution SVGA output) to more advanced 2D hardware acceleration such a and color-space conversion (not to be confused with 3D hardware-acceleration), Trident continued its strategy of selling modestly performing chips at compelling price points. In the mid-1990s, the company (briefly) caught up with its main competition: the TGUI-9680's feature-set was comparable to the Trio64V+, although the Trio64V+ outperformed the 9680 in mode.

The rapid introduction of 3D graphics caught many graphics suppliers off guard, including Trident. It was not until the late 1990s that Trident finally released a competitive chip, the TGUI-9880 (Blade3D).

By this time, Trident's reach had once again retreated to the low-end OEM market, where it was crowded by,, and. Meanwhile, in the laptop market, Trident was an early pioneer of, a technique which combines a graphics-controller and framebuffer memory on a single chip.

The resulting combo-chip saved precious board-space by eliminating several RAM chips normally required for framebuffer storage as well as providing other advantages, offset by a higher manufacturing cost-per-bit. In this market it competed with. Although Trident enjoyed some success with its 3DImage and Blade3D product-lines, the entry of into PC graphics signalled the end of the bottom-end, graphics-chip market. Trident partnered with motherboard chipset suppliers several times to integrate its graphics technology into a motherboard chipset (i.e. CyberALADDiN, MVP4), but these achieved marginal success.

Supplier of digital TV chip solutions [ ] Faced with a contracting market and rising research and development costs (due to the increasing sophistication of 3D-graphics rendering), Trident announced a substantial restructuring of the company in June 2003. In late 2003, completed the acquisition of Trident's former graphics division, completing the transformation of the company into one focusing on DTV chip solutions.

From this point on, Trident's research and development was mainly concentrated at its facilities in,, and a fully owned 115,000-square-foot research and development facility in Shanghai was completed in 2007. Trident quickly gained success in the chip market in 2005, providing competitive advantages in image quality and chip integration, outcompeting incumbent flat-panel IC leader and supplying chips to leading LCD TV brands and, and later and. Its revenues increased from $69 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, to $270 million in fiscal year 2007, when it had net income of $30 million. This success allowed the company to increase its cash reserves to more than $200 million by 2008. After an investigation into accounting irregularities relating to stock options, in November 2006 the company's chairman and CEO resigned, which was followed by the departure of further key personnel, including its president and former vice president of engineering in early 2008. By 2008 as DTV chip solutions started integrating more functionality (such as motion compensation/estimation and MPEG decoding) into a single chip its fortunes turned and its sales quickly declined to $76 million in fiscal year 2009, for which it posted a loss of $70 million. The primary competitors taking away market share from Trident at the time were,, and in-house chip design at and other LCD TV manufacturers, while (who had acquired Genesis) remained a significant player.

Under new management, in May 2009 Trident completed the acquisition of selected assets of the frame rate converter (FRC), demodulator and audio product lines from. In October 2009 Trident announced a deal with to transfer NXP's TV and businesses to Trident, with NXP becoming a significant shareholder. The deal was closed in February 2010. The Micronas and NXP acquisitions involved a substantial and diverse product portfolio and a large number of employees in widely dispersed operations in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and other locations.

The acquisitions significantly increased the Trident's revenues to $557 million in 2010 but also greatly worsened its profitability and cash flow, resulting in a loss from operations of $173 million in 2010 and net loss of $129 million. According to unaudited results for 2011, revenues decreased by 46.5% in 2011, resulting in another net loss of $150 million.

On January 4, 2012, Trident filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection appointing as the bidder. In February 2012, Entropic announced it would buy Trident's set-top box chip business for $60 million. In June 2012, paid $1M for Trident's audio products. Around the same time purchased Trident's remaining TV chip business. Stock price, stock option practices and litigation [ ] Trident common shares traded on the stock market from its on December 16, 1992 to 2012. The stock split two-for-one on 21 November 2005 and reached a high of $31.07 on 19 April 2006, representing a of approximately $1.9 billion. It later declined substantially including a large drop on 26 October 2007.

The stock dropped below $3 in September 2008 and it would never close above $3 again. In November 2005, Trident announced that its founding chairman and CEO, who owned 10% or more of the company's shares, had established a pre-arranged trading plan to sell up to 1,250,000 pre-split shares of common stock. In November 2006, Trident announced the resignation of its founder and CEO following an investigation by a special committee into back-dating of stock option grants, and announced that it would restate its financial results for the period 1994 to 2006 to reflect non-cash charges for expense. The in 2010 announced a settlement with Trident's founder and former CEO and with Trident's former, relating to a complaint alleging illegal back-dating of stock options in the period from 1993 to 2006. As part of the settlement, the former CEO agreed to be barred for five years from serving as an officer or director of any company registered with the SEC and to pay a $350,000 penalty and a disgorgement (representing the benefit gained from the back-dating of stock options) of $817,500 payable to Trident.

In 2011, Trident reached a settlement with its former CEO resulting from a derivative shareholder suit that resulted in payment of $9.4 million to the company.

Digital television chips [ ] The SVP-EX product family (described as Trident's fifth-generation video technology) was introduced in 2004 and ramped to significant volume in 2005 as top-tier OEMs and widely adopted the chip in their new models during a time when LCD TV demand grew significantly.

Venom Welcome To Hell Remastered Rar Download. It offered advantages in image quality and chip integration compared to competitive solutions, featuring ten-bit color component precision in ADCs, color decoder, deinterlacer, scaler, color processor (image enhancement) and display interface, and a single unified framebuffer. The SVP-PX (described as featuring Trident's sixth-generation video technology) was the successor of the SVP-EX, featuring an integrated HDMI interface and contributed more than 50% of the company's revenue by Q2 2006. The SVP-LX (with sixth-generation video technology) was Trident's first chip to support for high-end televisions. The SVP-CX (sixth-generation) was a cost-reduced version of the SVP-PX for lower-end LCD TVs with a resolution up to 1366x768p. It was widely adopted. The SVP-UX and SVP-WX integrated Trident's first-generation motion compensation/motion estimation technology. The HiDTV platform, which had a long development history, was Trident's first generation fully integrated DTV SoC integrating MPEG2 decoding, transport stream demultiplexer, and descrambler with the video processor functionality of earlier products.

The HiDTV Pro platform was Trident's second-generation integrated DTV SoC platform, with several variants integrating different Trident video processors. Both HiDTV product lines suffered from delays and slow adoption and it was only after the acquisition of Micronas product lines that it was able to win a significant SoC design win at a major OEM for production in 2010. After the and acquisitions in 2009, Trident acquired a diverse range of chip products for applications ranging from digital TVs to various types of, including the FRC (motion-estimation/compensation) chip family from Micronas that was widely used in high-end televisions.
