"At PMA, it became clear that an emerging market trend in digital cameras is the integration of high-definition video capture and playback", says Ohad Meitav, Senior Director for Zoran's digital camera product line.
"Having anticipated growing demand for this feature, Zoran demonstrated the benefits of using the Coach 10 digital camera processor's integrated H.264 capabilities for both capture and playback of high definition video versus other compression standards".
"Our Coach processors employ innovative techniques for achieving high image quality, high performance and now, high definition video, while also delivering image stabilisation for both video and still photos".
"The Coach product line meets the high standards of top brand digital camera makers, which explains why there are so many new models this quarter".
Zoran's Coach family of digital camera processors addresses a growing segment of converging digital still cameras that also perform video encoding, rivaling the results from digital camcorders.
Compact tapeless camcorders benefit the consumer by making high quality video easy to playback and share on a PC or other consumer devices.
To enhance the user experience the Coach 10 embeds High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) for viewing photos and video on a high definition television, making use of the HDTV capabilities to its fullest.
