Alphamosaic launches new mobile multimedia
processor
UNTIED
KINGDOM -- Having already scored a world first with
VideoCoreR, Alphamosaic recently launched the VC02,
said to be the world's most advanced mobile multimedia
processor. It can display video on 3.5" color LCDs
and capture 8-megapixel images, making it ideal for
watching TV, making videos or taking studio-quality
photos on handheld products such as mobile phones. The
power-efficiency of the VC02 allows several hours of
continuous operation on a single battery charge, a unique
feature for such a high-performance multimedia chip.
Based on Alphamosaic's new video-processing engine,
the VideoCoreRII, the VC02 is completely programmable
and can handle the full range of audio and video formats.
This makes it suitable for the new generation of multimedia-enabled
mobile phones as well as solid-state camcorders, handheld
digital TVs and portable video recorders with miniature
hard disk drives. With the VC02, users can send video
clips to friends, record a late-night movie to watch
on a train the next morning, and so on.
The
VC02 offers a whole range of connectivity options such
as USB, SD Card memory and can even drive a TV or a
full-size monitor directly. As the most complete mobile
multimedia processor offering the longest battery life,
it has further established the VideoCoreR family as
the industry-standard solution for handheld video and
entertainment. Samples and evaluation boards are available
now.
Dr. Jalal Bagherli, Alphamosaic's CEO said: "Working
in close collaboration with our mobile phone VideoCoreR
customers has given us a deep understanding of their
multimedia needs. This has enabled us to design a chip
with the optimum feature-set for their next-generation
of products, anticipating the trends in handheld multimedia
and video-enabled mobile phones."
