This combination of video and graphics, opens new possibilities for the future of advanced mobile multimedia and user interface design.
'Hantro and Bitboys are focused on delivering solutions for the mobile environment in which CPU resources and power consumption are limiting factors', said Eero Kaikkonen, President and CEO of Hantro.
'This proof of concept demonstration clearly shows the possibilities that combining our respective technologies can deliver'.
'The growth in mobile device processing power has been counterbalanced by a continued drive towards smaller, more compact products'.
'At the same time, users demand more exciting, higher-quality visual content from their mobile phones'.
'We expect that low-power high-performance graphics processors, combined with the most advanced video technology, will enable mobile devices to become the ubiquitous entertainment platforms of the future', said Mikko Saari, CEO, Bitboys.
The Bitboys G34 is an efficient 3D graphics processor with the OpenGL ES 1.1 feature set.
The processor supports scenes with tens of thousands of polygons, rendered with full anti-aliasing and 32bit colour at more than 30 frames per second for an immersive gaming experience.
Over the next few years, this technology will enable high-quality, lifelike detail in 3D games and other visual content on consumer-level mobile devices.
The Hantro 4100 is a pure software MPEG-4 video decoder that enables flexible streaming and playback of high-quality video on mobile devices.
Video image size, bit rates and frame rates are unlimited, dependent only on the capacity of the host CPU.
