On2 Technologies Licenses Video Codecs to Shanghai InfoTM
Hantro powered HD Multimedia Chip targets Mobile Internet Devices.
CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. -- Feb. 16, 2009 -- On2 Technologies (NYSE Alternext US: ONT) announced today that it has licensed the Hantro(TM) 8190 hardware video decoder, 7280 hardware video encoder, and On2 VP6(R) software video decoder to Shanghai InfoTM, a subsidiary of Shuoying Digital Science & Technology (China) Co., Ltd. The Hantro hardware technologies will enable 1080p full high definition video playback of MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 and VC-1, along with 16Mpixel JPEG still images, and 720p real-time encoding of MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 video. The highly optimized On2 VP6 software decoder adds playback support for Adobe(R) Flash(R) and Sun JavaFX(R) video. The dedicated multimedia chipset will utilize an ARM 11 CPU core and is targeted for MIDs and other consumer electronic devices.
Hantro hardware video codecs enable high performance video in low powered chipsets by offloading the computational complexity of encoding and decoding video from the CPU core. Characterized by highly efficient bus and silicon area utilization, the video codecs provide semiconductor manufacturers with an extremely cost effective solution. Hantro codecs enable video in devices ranging from mobile phones to high definition televisions. For more information please visit www.on2.com/on2embedded.
On2 VP6 video combines compression efficiency with playback simplicity, and through its integration to Adobe Flash player and Sun JavaFX, is one of the webs most prolific web video formats. Chosen by many of the leading User Generated Content (UGC) sites, including Tudou and 56.com, On2 VP6 helps UGC video sites save on bandwidth without compromising video quality.
