Los Angeles-based BridgeCo, a developer of home entertainment related semiconductors, has scored a win with Pioneer, the firm said earlier this week. BridgeCo said that Pioneer is using the firm's technology in two A/V receivers from the firm, the Eliste SC-07 and SC-05. Financial impact of the design win was not disclosed. According to BridgeCo, its processors and software are being used to enhance Pioneer's home thater experience through a feature called Home Media Gallery. The Home Media Gallery allows users to play digital music and JPEG photos from their computers or USB memory devices, as well as access Internet radio stations.
