ARM Optimizes PacketVideo Wireless Software for ARM Powered[tm] Cores
SAN DIEGO, Calif. and CAMBRIDGE, UK - July 24, 2000
PacketVideo has developed standards-compliant MPEG-4 software that enables the encoding, decoding, and transmission of full motion video over wireless networks to mobile devices. The technology enables the distribution of video over existing wireless networks with bit rates as low as 9.6kbps, 14.4 kbps, as well as 2.5G and 3G networks. The technology is air-interface independent, which means that it works across any type of wireless network, including CDMA, GSM, TDMA, GPRS and UMTS. With PacketVideo's innovative technology, people will be able to access and view full-motion news and financial stories, sports highlights, short entertainment clips, weather and traffic reports, home or work security cameras, from any location.
"Consumers are demanding increased functionality, including Internet access, from their handheld devices. But as the Internet is more than just data, ARM partners are requiring software-based MPEG-4 applications optimized for their platforms," said Dave Walsh, Applications Software business manager, ARM. "PacketVideo is a leader in the development of wireless multimedia software based on MPEG-4. The two companies are collaborating closely to provide systems and semiconductor manufacturers with a robust, flexible ARM Powered solution that will scale to accommodate a wide range of wireless environments, without the need for additional hardware acceleration."
ARM processors cores are noted for performance, small die size, low power consumption, tight code density and multiple supply sources. Instruction set compatibility between processor families promotes design reuse and reduces software development time.
ARM offers full system-on-chip solutions including processor cores, peripheral intellectual property, development tools, applications software, EDA tools and design services. The ARM architecture is well supported by semiconductor and system manufacturers, real-time operating system providers, third-party toolchain developers, application software providers and ARM design centers.
"We are very pleased to be working closely with ARM, one of the world's leaders in RISC microprocessor intellectual property," said Kathleen Peters, vice president of Embedded Systems Solutions for PacketVideo. "Optimizing PacketVideo's error-resilient software for the ARM architecture will provide a highly reliable offering for handheld device manufacturers, greatly increase the number of wireless multimedia-capable products in the market, and further establish PacketVideo as the de facto standard for wireless multimedia."
