"ARC's Video Subsystem was compelling because it met the necessary criteria of low-cost and small size, while observing our power budget".
"In addition, the ARC Video Configurable Subsystem provided us with a solution that will enable us to quickly port our video and imaging technologies on to a programmable platform".
"Atmel's adoption of the ARC Video Subsystem underscores the industry trend toward configurable platforms and away from single-function products", said Derek Meyer, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ARC International.
"By leveraging the power of ARC's patented configurability, our customers have the ability to add their proprietary value so the resulting ASSP can command a higher price in the marketplace".
"This is a benefit that fixed architecture vendors cannot offer".
