Freescale Selects VeriCall Edge for Voice and Video Over IP Terminal Solutions.RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Research Triangle Park, research, business, medical, and educational complex situated in central North Carolina. It has an area of 6,900 acres (2,795 hectares) and is 8 × 2 mi (13 × 3 km) in size. Named for the triangle formed by Duke Univ. , N.C. -- VeriCall Edge Enables DSP-Free Solution for Wired and Wireless Video Terminal Applications Powered by Freescale's i.MX21 Processor Trinity Convergence, Inc., a leading developer of embedded communications software (communications, software) communications software - Application programs, operating system components, and probably firmware, forming part of a communication system. These different software components might be classified according to the functions within the Open Systems for voice and video over IP (V/VoIP) and wireless markets, today announced Freescale Semiconductor Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. is an American semiconductor manufacturer. It was created by the divestiture of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola in 2004. Freescale focuses their integrated circuit products on the automotive, embedded and communications markets. selected the award-winning VeriCall Edge(TM) software platform for a Freescale voice and video over IP solution based on the i.MX21 multimedia applications processor. VeriCall Edge is a complete and integrated V/VoIP software platform offering the requisite media processing See media control. , packet handling and call control functionality required to voice and video-enable mobile and wired devices. By utilizing a "DSP-free" approach, VeriCall Edge delivers V/VoIP functionality on traditional application processors without the need for costly and power hungry external VoIP ASICs, Digital Signal Processors A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing. Characteristics of typical Digital Signal Processors
VeriCall Edge offers a feature rich V/VoIP framework containing G.711, G.729, G.723.1, G.726, voice codecs, tone handling, acoustic echo cancellation The elimination of an echo in a two-way voice transmission. Echo is created in the telephone company's central office switch when two-wire lines from the customer are converted to four-wire lines for backbone trunks. and support for high quality 30 frames-per-second CIF (1) (Common Intermediate Format) A standard video format used in videoconferencing. CIF formats are defined by their resolution, and standards both above and below the original resolution have been established. The original CIF is also known as Full CIF (FCIF). resolution H.263 and MPEG-4 video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. . Also provided are SIP and H.323 IP call control protocols allowing the system developer flexibility in targeting network environments. "System designers need cost-effective integrated solutions to meet the growing market demand for integrated voice and video over IP," said Thierry Cammal, general manager of Freescale's Wireless and Mobile Systems Group in Europe. "The comprehensive, yet open architecture of VeriCall Edge, combined with the i.MX21, enables OEMs to rapidly tailor V/VoIP solutions for even the most cost sensitive mobile and wired devices." "VeriCall Edge's open architecture is ideally suited to take advantage of the advanced functionality provided by devices such as Freescale's i.MX21," said Salim Bhatia, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Trinity Convergence. "The ability to integrate the i.MX21 video acceleration functionality with a "DSP-Free" approach for V/VoIP enables an ideal solution for high quality mobile and wireless video and voice terminals." The integration of the VeriCall Edge V/VoIP software with the i.MX21 multimedia applications processor will provide OEMs with the ability to deploy V/VoIP mobile or wireless terminals more rapidly than ever before. A Beta version A pre-shipping release of hardware or software that has gone through alpha test. A beta version of software is supposed to be very close to the final product, but, in practice, it is more a way of getting users to test the software in the first place under real conditions. of the VeriCall Edge V/VoIP software for the i.MX21 is currently available for use by lead customers. General availabilty will be provided in early 1Q 2005. About Trinity Convergence Trinity Convergence provides data and telecom equipment OEMs/ODMs and semiconductor vendors with comprehensive and open V/VoIP enabling software. Its VeriCall product line incorporates the intrinsic software elements required to develop robust V/VoIP products from the core of the network to the edge.
