New Digital Connectivity Technology From Silicon Image Recognized as 'Best New Product Idea' at CableLabs(R) Summer Conference 2008

Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in semiconductors and intellectual property for the secure storage, distribution and presentation of high-definition content, today announced that its new digital connectivity technology was voted the "Best New Product Idea" by an audience of over 200 cable operators attending the Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs(R)) Summer Conference 2008, held in Keystone, Colorado, August 10-13, 2008. Silicon Image was one of eleven companies demonstrating their new technology offerings in the CableLabs innovation showcase, which highlights new technologies for the cable telecommunications industry.

Addressing the expressed desire of cable operators to deliver content to their customers' TVs, PCs and mobile devices efficiently and seamlessly, Silicon Image's new digital connectivity architecture with "Echocast Technology" would allow high-definition (HD) quality video/audio and high quality remote user interfaces to be distributed to any consumer electronics device.

"Enabling consumers to experience high quality HD video and audio without limitations is what we strive for at Silicon Image, and with our new digital connectivity technology, consumers will be able to enjoy this content on every TV, PC and mobile and other consumer electronics device supporting this architecture," said Steve Tirado, president and chief executive officer at Silicon Image, Inc. "We foresee HD quality video and audio becoming extremely fluid and available for purchase or rental on TVs, personal media players, PCs and cell phones. As a matter of fact, we believe that universal content distribution can be enabled and facilitated using our new digital connectivity technology."

Silicon Image's new digital connectivity technology aims to facilitate the distribution of video and audio content as well as associated applications to multiple televisions, mobile phones and PCs connected via a home network. The technology can be integrated directly into a digital television, set-top box, Blu-ray player, mobile phone, PC or other consumer electronic devices.

"Silicon Image's product comes at the right time as the number of TVs and other consumer-facing devices capable of receiving video over an IP network continues to grow," said Tony Werner, chief technology officer at Comcast. "While Silicon Image's technology could be used to enable multi-room DVRs, its real benefit could be its ability to help get cable providers' content and applications to multiple consumer devices."

Silicon Image is developing its new digital connectivity technology to be compatible with a range of wireless and wired home networking technologies, including Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA), Ethernet, WiFi, and HomePlugAV.
