Zoran Corporation has signed up for additional licences for high-performance MIPS32 4KE cores, and a new licence for the 32bit M4K core.

These new agreements broaden Zoran's adoption of the industry-standard MIPS architecture as the company continues to develop leading solutions for high-growth embedded markets.

"Our MIPS-based product portfolio is growing as we experience strong market demand for technology that enables OEMs to meet the challenging requirements of the digital consumer marketplace", said Ram Ofir, Vice President Engineering at Zoran Corp.

"Since announcing the original licensing agreement with MIPS Technologies just one year ago, we have introduced two new MIPS-based products.

We look forward to expanding our relationship with MIPS Technologies and to collaborating on the development of optimised solutions for the growing CE marketplace".

"Market leaders such as Zoran Corporation continue to standardise upon the MIPS architecture to leverage the broadly available software infrastructure that's only available for an industry standard", said Jack Browne, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at MIPS Technologies.

"With these new licences, Zoran furthers its adoption of MIPS as it continues to gain market share in leading-edge DVD devices, digital cameras and high-definition televisions".
