Hantro's Multi-Format Hardware Video Codecs to Drive Next Generation of Freescale Cellular
Handset Solutions
OULU, Finland, June 27 /PRNewswire/ --
Freescale Semiconductor and Hantro have signed an agreement to license Hantro's
Multi-format hardware video codecs. The combination of Freescale's system on chip
solutions and Hantro's codecs is expected to provide mobile handset users a feature rich
video experience with high performance capabilities and low power consumption.
Optimized for low power and high performance, Hantro's 6280 and 7190 multi-format
hardware video IP products are an excellent choice for multimedia enabled chipsets.
Various configurability options allow the IC vendors to tailor the IP cores to meet the
application specific silicon area and performance requirements. Supporting all the major
video and still image formats (H.264, H.263, MPEG-4, VC-1, and JPEG), IP cores enable
video services from low-cost feature phones to high-end Mobile TV or Personal Media
Player devices. Ultra low power designs enable up to HD 720p resolution video capture and
playback in battery-operated wireless devices.
"Hantro's multi-format hardware video IP products are designed to meet the high
performance standards of our baseband products, while providing the ability to optimize
silicon area utilization," says Tom Deitrich, vice president and general manager of
Freescale's Cellular Division.
"Freescale is one of our largest and most innovative semiconductor customers," says
Eero Kaikkonen, CEO of Hantro Products Oy. "This licensing agreement further strengthens
our relationship with Freescale, and together we can help ensure the mobile phone market
will be served with even more competitive products than before."
