InterVideo, Inc. announced that its MPEG-4 codec technology has been integrated with Texas Instruments Inc.'s (TI) programmable DSP-based digital media processors. By incorporating InterVideo MPEG-4 codec technology on its digital media processors, TI provides digital camera OEMs and system integrators with a cost-effective solution that will meet customer expectations for high quality images and enable high quality video. TI will showcase this solution at PMA, February 12-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Offering compliance with the MPEG-4 Simple Profile, InterVideo's MPEG-4 technology provides high-quality video at low bit rates
. Users can choose from three different video capture sizes to control the quality and recording time: QVGA (320x240), Half VGA (640x240) or VGA (640x480)--all with up to 30 frames per second.
TI's digital media processor family of products are optimized for digital camera applications, leveraging a highly efficient, low-power TMS320C54x digital signal processor (DSP) core, an ARM RISC processor, plus video and imaging coprocessors to improve performance. The flexibility and programmability of the digital media processors enable OEMs to expand the breadth of their portable imaging and multimedia products while reducing development costs.
Video from MPEG-4 enabled digital cameras can be combined with InterVideo's award-winning PC multimedia software such as WinDVD for video playback and WinDVD Creator for transferring, editing and burning DVDs.
