Motorola announces i.MX21 applications processor incorporating Hantro video technology.The Hantro 4350 MPEG-4/H.263 hardware codec (1) (enCOder/DECoder) A hardware circuit that performs analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) conversion. When analog signals are entered into a computer, cellphone or other device via a microphone or video source such as VHS tape or analog TV, provides up to 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). (352 x 288 pixels) resolution video compression/de-compression capability to wireless video-enabled devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and digital still cameras. Delivered as intellectual property to be integrated on ARM AMBA AMBA Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (Spanish) AMBA Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture AMBA American Mold Builders Association AMBA American Mustang and Burro Association AMBA Association of Master of Business Administration bus based System-on-Chip designs, Hantro's 4350 CIF codec is specifically tailored for low-power devices. With the codec integrated on the i.MX21 the implementation of high-quality video applications like multimedia messaging, video streaming and video telephony is made easy. In addition, Hantro can offer ready made multimedia applications that run on the i.MX platform. This way device manufacturers using the i.MX1, the i.MXL MXL Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico - Rodolfo Sanchez Taboada (Airport Code) MXL Musicmatch Access Layer and i.MX21 can offer their customers advanced multimedia applications without wasting valuable time and resource on software development. "Our strategy to develop both hardware and software video codecs and multimedia applications is further proven in the i.MX series from Motorola" says Eero Kaikkonen, 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. of Hantro "with our software codec already ported to the i.MX1 and now our hardware CIF codec integrated in the i.MX21 Motorola is able to offer their customers the best value performance proposition for video capability." "Hantro is notable in that they have approached MPEG-4 codec development from a mobile background" says Omid Tahernia, vice president and director, Wireless and Mobile Systems Group, Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector. "The company's long history in developing for mobile devices places them in a very unique position when looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. solutions to the problems presented by video enabling mobile devices." |
