single-chip EDGE processor at MWC2008
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- NXP Software is demonstrating
one of the industry's first high-quality media players on Texas
Instruments' OMAPV1035 ARM9-based, single-chip EDGE solution at Mobile
World Congress (MWC) 2008. Bringing a multimedia performance boost to
affordable phones, the LifeVibes VideoPlayer on show delivers 30
frames-per-second QVGA video content with CD-quality AAC stereo sound.
Together, the LifeVibes software and OMAPV1035 processor enable
cost-effective multimedia solutions for mobile TV, personal audio / video
recording, internet-content playback .- from sites such as YouTube and
Dailymotion .- as well as easy video editing, sharing and blogging.
Many new mobile phone use-cases depend on strong multimedia
capabilities. As a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) for mobile
multimedia, NXP Software has developed the LifeVibes suite to enable these
use-cases. The integration of the LifeVibes media software on TI's
OMAPV1035 processor continues this trend and extends the cooperation
between the two companies. NXP Software's LifeVibes music and video
solutions are already available for previous-generation OMAP-Vox(TM)
solutions, including the OMAPV1030 EDGE and single-chip LoCosto(TM)
GSM/GPRS products, allowing OEMs to use the same multimedia framework for
various phone segments.
"We see an insatiable demand for new use-cases which rely on a strong
multimedia framework, be it video-editing, blogging or managing your music
collection," says Cees Geel, Managing Director, NXP Software. "These new
use- cases are all supported by LifeVibes and our partnership with TI
enables us to provide them on the cost-effective OMAPV1035 platform."
"Exciting multimedia performance is one of the key requirements our
customers expect from the OMAPV1035 EDGE processor. Therefore, we are
pleased to demonstrate the full multimedia capability of our latest mobile
devices. The combination of NXP Software's LifeVibes multimedia framework
with TI's single-chip EDGE solution will offer sizzling multimedia
performance, making it affordable for mainstream consumers to experience
the latest features and functionality," said Victor Epifani, General
Manager, GSM/GPRS/EDGE Business Unit, TI.
The demonstration uses software codecs that have been optimized
specifically for the OMAPV1035 EDGE platform. Moreover, as the LifeVibes
VideoPlayer is a complete software solution, it enables a media player that
can play all formats without the need for hardware acceleration, allowing
the creation of highly cost-effective end products. To enable visitors to
MWC to fully experience the high video quality, the content is rendered on
a consumer TV via the TV-out.
Providing compelling end-user experiences, the LifeVibes VideoPlayer is
capable of handling broadcast-quality video content at 0.8 Mb/s. It
supports DVB-H Full class C video playback and HDTV video streaming
services for Mobile TV applications plus the latest media recording formats
such as H.264 video and enhanced AAC+ audio for personal video / audio
recordings.
