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.
Brendan Iribe, President of Scaleform, says: "We are excited by the potential of PowerVR MBX and Scaleform VGx to accelerate scalable vector graphic libraries, such as Flash and SVG, for mobile and embedded user interfaces, entertainment and advertising".
"Scaleform's close collaboration with PowerVR will deliver a far richer, more immersive, mobile end-user experience".
Scaleform VGx will be marketed as a next generation OpenVG implementation that uses the OpenGL ES API, optimised tessellation (vector-to-triangle conversion), and advanced vertex/pixel shaders to accelerate high-quality 2D scalable vector graphics on existing 3D GPU chipsets.
"The Scaleform VGx driver is designed to compliment the leading graphics hardware and vector graphics content".
"Scaleform VGx will enable content providers to accelerate the mobile end-user experience without requiring complex silicon or data format modifications", added Iribe.
Peter McGuinness, Director of Business Development, Imagination Technologies, says: "Together with Scaleform's VGx core, the PowerVR mobile gaming platform paves the way for hardware accelerated full screen graphics animation, such as Flash, to enter the mobile world for the first time".
"We welcome this opportunity to give developers access to the content, performance, and power efficiency they demand".
PowerVR MBX, which exceeds OpenGL ES 1.x requirements, delivers massive triangle and fill rates along with full 3D features such as skinning, FSAA, curved surfaces, per-pixel lighting and texture compression.
