Graphics IP features on ARM development board
ARM has integrated Imagination Technologies' PowerVR MBX graphics technology in a custom development chip which forms the basis of the new ARM RealView Versatile family of hardware development boards.
Imagination Technologies provides technology to partners including ARM, Centrality Communications, Freescale, Frontier Silicon, Intel, Philips, Renesas, Samsung, Sharp, Sunplus and Texas Instruments.
Launching its Taiwan office, Imagination Technologies, in collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), is holding seminars in Hsinchu and Taipei, to introduce its silicon intellectual property (SIP) through presentations and demonstrations.
Demonstrations include: solutions for digital and analogue TV, including DVB-T, multistandard SD and HD decode, image enhancement and multi-standard demodulation; solutions for multistandard mobile digital TV (T-DMB and DVB-H on one device); 3D graphics and video for multimedia in mobile phones, PDAs and PMPs; and DAB digital radio and digital audio.
Says David McBrien, VP Business Development, Imagination Technologies: "Semiconductor IP cores are the most effective way of accelerating the development of competitive SoC devices while reducing business risk".
"We create flexible, competitive and preverified technology that partners may not have the time or expertise to develop themselves in areas such as multistandard demodulation, HD video and 3D graphics".
"This enables our partners to add value and differentiate in technology areas where they are strong, providing market leading solutions in a timely manner".
The ability to license complete SoC platform solutions that are integrated, optimised and preverified also allows partners to enter new applications - digital radio, mobile TV, 3D UI, PMP, IPTV etc - ahead of their competitors.
Imagination Technologies' seminars will include an address by Dr CW Jen, Chairman of the Taiwan SoC Consortium as well as expert insight from Imagination's team into key application areas for mobile graphics, video, audio and TV technologies.
The seminars will take place on 6th March 2006 at the Grand Formosa Regent, Taipei and on 8th March at the Ambassador Hotel, Hsinchu.
