Elips sits above the RTOS of a mobile handset and thus offers a hardware independent integration.
Having a small footprint and embedded engine on the mobile phone, the Elips run time system delivers the flexibility of component-based technology with no resource and power consumption penalty, which is of major importance to the mobile market place.
Thin Multimedia provide purely software based video decoder and encoder clients for 3GPP codecs, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264.
In addition to these, Thin Multimedia supplies a wide variety of standard audio codecs such as MP3, AAC(plus), HE-AACplus V2.0, QCELP and AMR.
Thin Multimedia's codec solutions, which can be modularly implemented under the Elips framework, enable a handset reference design to be turned into a real multimedia enabled mobile phone in significantly shorter development times.
'Thin Multimedia's codecs have been well proven in millions of mobiles currently in use', said David D Kim, SVP of Thin Multimedia.
'Combining Thin Multimedia's codecs with the Elips framework allows handset manufacturers to experience a double benefit, high quality video codecs can be implemented in no time, further reducing time to market'.
