SolidStreaming Announces Optimization of Its SolidStream System Wireless Solution for the New Intel XScale Microarchitecture
URL(s): SolidStreaming
NEW YORK, March 13, 2001--
Intel(R) (NASDAQ - INTC) Integrated Performance Primitives will
enhance the SolidStream video solution over future mobile devices
SolidStreaming, Inc. today announced the development of an optimized video port of the SolidStream video technology for
the new Intel(R) XScale(TM) microarchitecture.
SolidStreaming will enable advanced video streaming over 2G, 2.5G, and 3G wireless networks by optimizing its
SolidStream System for the Intel XScale microarchitecture and the Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives thus providing
wireless device manufacturers with advanced multimedia capabilities.
SolidStreaming solution is an end-to-end software solution that offers a full-featured video player delivering a minimum of 5
fps (frames per second) in a 9.6 Kbps network. Its low power requirements make it ideal for running on Intel XScale
Microarchitecture, utilizing the IPP library - suitable for today's mobile telephones. The SolidStream System can be delivered
across wireless networks with data speeds as low as 9.6 kbps and is fully compatible with all current operating systems. The
SolidStreaming System will be deployed this year to handset manufacturers and mobile operators.
"We welcome this opportunity to work with Intel to deliver video streaming to the mass market of mobile devices," said
Edward Bronson, CEO, SolidStreaming. "Intel has a healthy industry reputation for delivering new technologies first, and it is
responsive in supporting its customers as their needs develop. SolidStreaming experience of developing easy-to-deploy
software augments the solutions Intel offers its customers."
Introduced in August by Intel Corporation, the Intel(R) XScale(TM) microarchitecture provides a wide range of
performance capabilities while maintaining low power consumption. The new microarchitecture will enhance SolidStreaming
end-to-end wireless streaming media solutions by enabling numerous mobile applications, including streaming news broadcasts,
stock watch lists and reports, weather and traffic reports, movie trailers, and sports highlights.
The Intel Integrated Performance Primitives are a software library consisting of highly optimized functions for the
development of advanced multimedia applications. The library includes core functionality for complex signal processing, image
manipulation, matrix math operations, and key building blocks for enhanced multimedia functions such as MP3, MPEG4, and
H.263.
"Innovative companies like SolidStreaming demonstrate the commitment of the industry to the Intel(R) Personal Internet
Client Architecture (Intel PCA) in the rapidly growing mobile media marketplace," said Mark Casey, director of marketing for
Intel's Handheld Computing Division. "SolidStreaming technology, utilizing the Intel XScale microarchitecture and the Intel
Integrated Performance Primitives, provide optimal performance in mobile environments and will offer wireless device
manufacturers new and compelling capabilities."
Intel PCA is an open architecture that allows easy integration and expansion of wireless systems using a combination of the
world's leading operating systems and global wireless standards. The architecture consists of interchangeable hardware and
software building blocks and enables wireless hardware and software solutions providers to offer a wide range of enhanced
wireless offerings across standards, generations and geographies, much more quickly than today's phones. Intel PCA combines
the company's wireless expertise and set of technologies including flash memory, chipsets, digital signal processing capabilities,
systems engineering and software, and high-performance, low-power processors.
