Multimedia CODECs

Makers of connected devices, whether in the telecom or consumer electronics spaces, are experiencing fundamental shifts in how devices are connected together, and consumers’ expectations for innovations. Small screen multimedia and improved user experience are now mandatory elements of a connected device.

To meet consumers’ expectations and to take advantage of contemporary technologies, companies are seeking to enhance multimedia experiences. For example, even as screen sizes continue to shrink, consumers and manufacturers both want to have HD video capability on their devices. Manufacturers must also balance including multimedia with improving battery life on mobile devices, and reducing time-to-market even while adding the complexity that comes from multimedia and making devices connect to one another and networks.

We help clients address these challenges by provding pre-packaged multimedia CODECs (coders and decoders) that enables accelerated launch of differentiated products for mobile TV, messaging, video conferencing and streaming media.

More than 500 million devices have been shipped with our multimedia CODECs.

These multimedia CODECs are pre-optimized and pre-integrated for various target platforms, resulting in significant performance, cost and time-to-market improvements compared to open source CODECs[ Insert graphic image of data ]

Benefits

Save CPU Processing Power

Our CODECs are pre-optimized for multiple processors (e.g. ARM, TI, Marvell and Intel) and operating systems (e.g. Symbian, Windows Mobile, BREW, Java and Android), resulting in considerable savings in CPU processing power, which extends battery life for video recording and playback.

Reduce Development and Integration Cycles

Our CODECs are backed by an extensive range of product lifecycle services that help you shorten application development and integration cycles for a variety of devices (Mobile Handsets, PDAs, MIDs, PMPs and DPFs).

Compliant and Interoperable

Out CODECs are standards compliant, have low memory and power footprint, and are tested for interoperability with a variety of devices and applications.

Ease of Integration

Aricent also offers multimedia system plug-ins e.g. Symbian MMF/MDF, Windows Mobile DShow, Linux GStreamer, Android PacketVideo OpenCORE and OpenMax that enable ease of integration with various operating systems.

Supports Emerging Standards

Aricent continually invests in upgrading its multimedia suite to support emerging standards such as Mobile TV, DVB-H, and Hi-Definition playback.
