ALPHAMOSAIC DEVELOPS NEW ADVANCED MOBILE MULTIMEDIA ARCHITECTURE
Cambridge June 2004: Following the widespread adoption of VideoCoreŽ technology in mobile phone and portable multimedia product designs, Alphamosaic has developed the advanced VideoCoreŽII processing engine. To be used at the heart of a new family of mobile multimedia processors, VideoCoreŽII offers unprecedented levels of performance with the lowest power consumption in the industry.
Like its predecessor VideoCoreŽII consists of a fully-programmable highly-parallel video processing core. Optimisation of this proven architecture has resulted in a core capable of 8 billion complex operations per second. Able to decode H.264 QVGA video at 30fps, it is ideal for the new generation of handheld TV products using the DVB-H, ISDB-T and DMB standards. The parallel nature of the architecture means that video encode and decode can be done in very few instruction cycles with minimum power consumption right up to VGA resolution.
The new VideoCoreŽIIbased family of integrated circuits will offer the highest levels of performance and integration, with variants for fully-featured media players and others optimised for multimedia-enabled mobile phones. Full programmability and software compatibility with VideoCoreŽ will be preserved, while Alphamosaics investment in software development will ensure that the latest codecs are always available as part of a complete mobile multimedia solution.
