Offers Integration Necessary for T-DMB T-DMB Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting Mobile TV Application and Digital Photo Frame A digital photo frame is a picture frame that displays digital photos without the need to print them. Features Some digital photo frames can only display JPEG pictures. However, others support additional multimedia content. LAS VEGAS -- Raza Microelectronics, Inc. (RMI (Remote Method Invocation) A standard from Sun for distributed objects written in Java. RMI is a remote procedure call (RPC), which allows Java objects (software components) stored in the network to be run remotely. ([R])), a leading supplier of processors for communications and consumer applications, today announced that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies (Samsung), has selected the RMI Alchemy Au1200 Processor from Raza Microelectronics, Inc. for its Digital Media Broadcast Mobile TV (DMB-TV) and for its Windows-Based Digital Photo Frame. The LMD LMD Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique du CNRS LMD Love Me Do (Beatles song) LMD Local Management Device LMD Local Medical Doctor LMD Logistics Management Division LMD Lamers Must Die LMD Laser Metal Deposition 10A-51W DMB-TV is based on a Linux operating system (O/S) and has a 10" display with 800 x 480 resolution and supports standard video (WMV (Windows Media Video) A family of digital video compression technologies from Microsoft based on MPEG-4. Version 9 of the WMV codec was released to the SMPTE organization and became the SMPTE 421M standard, otherwise known as VC-1 (see VC-1). , MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and Xvid.) The SPF-71V Digital Photo Frame from Samsung contains a 7" TFT-LCD TFT-LCD Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display screen with 800 x 480 resolution, built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi capability, slots for SD, MMC, MS, and XD Memory Cards. The device has a USB port and supports MP3 for audio, MPEG-1, WMV9, and MPEG-4 for video as well as JPEG JPEG in full Joint Photographic Experts Group Standard computer file format for storing graphic images in a compressed form for general use. JPEG images are compressed using a mathematical algorithm. , BMP (1) (BitMaP) Also known as a "bump" file, it is the native, bitmapped graphics format in Windows. A BMP can be saved in several color options: 1-, 4-, 8- and 24-bit color provide 2, 16, 256 and 16,000,000 colors respectively. BMP files use the .BMP or . , and GIF GIF in full Graphics Interchange Format Standard computer file format for graphic images. GIF files use data compression to reduce the file size. The original version of the format was developed by CompuServe in 1987. for pictures. "Samsung is happy to announce the selection of the Alchemy Au1200 Processor from RMI for it's Mobile TV and Digital Photo Frame Applications," said Ki-Young Jang, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. "The strong efforts that RMI has taken to work with us on this product development is what we look for from our vendors and expect that the Alchemy Au1200 will enable us to continue our worldwide leadership position in the Consumer Electronics Market." The RMI Alchemy[TM] Au1200, the processor of choice for full-featured Personal Media Players (PMP), navigation and mobile TV devices, is a high-performance, low-power processor capable of delivering a rich multi-media experience to end users. The powerful processor enables users to download media quickly and enjoy DVD-quality video efficiently delivered at full standard definition resolution, with several video format options. The Alchemy Au1200 processor gives system designers an easy-to-use, simple solution to create full-featured portable solutions with greatly reduced design cycle times. The System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architecture integrates most peripheral components resulting in a significant reduction in total bill of materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. . "The selection by Samsung of the RMI Alchemy Au1200 for both of these products continues to strengthen our leadership position and we are excited to be recognized by Samsung Electronics as a valued supplier," said Mike Wodopian, vice president and general manager, Alchemy Solutions at RMI. "Samsung's strength in the market gives us recognition for our products and validates the roadmap that we have set out for our further success and we look forward to supporting them in their future efforts." RMI's products push the edge of processor technology in performance and integration and are used by system and original equipment manufacturers to quickly respond to changing market needs. The company's XLR[TM], Alchemy, and Orion[TM] processor families are complex, highly-integrated designs incorporating hundreds of millions of transistors and built on leading-edge silicon process technologies.
