History
Sigma Designs was founded in 1982 and is based in Milpitas, California, with locations in Canada, Denmark, France, Israel, Japan and Singapore.
Sigma Designs began making boards for computers, such as the ReelMagic MPEG decoder. Its products were used in many of the first Blu-ray players since 2005. Sigma media processors also have more than ten year history in the IPTV market.
In late 2007 Sigma Designs released the first 1080p capable media player chipset, the SMP863x. It spawned a series of stand-alone media players from early 2008 onwards.
Sigma Designs' products are sold worldwide through a direct sales force and distributors. Sigma's Common Stock, publicly traded since 1986, is listed on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol SIGM.
