McubeWorks puts TI to
work on multimedia for 2.5G
McubeWorks is to develop complete reference designs for 2.5 and 3G CDMA2000 1x networks based on TI's wireless multimedia technology
SK Telecom, one of the world's largest CDMA cellular service operators based in Korea, plans to conduct field trials of this multimedia service reference design providing CDMA wireless customers with a network that will support high-quality video on demand (VoD) and other multimedia applications, such as voice-over-picture and streaming sound.

Picture quality is key to digital camera market
According to a survey sponsored by TI, 97% of European digital still camera owners and 99% of those intending to purchase within six months rate picture quality as the most important attribute
By using TI's OMAP 1510 processor, which includes TI's TMS320C5000 DSP and an ARM RISC processor, the reference design will provide wireless system developers with a complete hardware solution and McubeWorks' software solution supporting H.26L streaming video with audio.
The reference design, called MoC (media on chip), is a chipset coupling TI's low power, high-performance DSP technology with McubeWorks' highly efficient coding technology and wireless adaptive service protocol that will bring VoD straight to consumers' wireless handsets.
The embedded multimedia algorithms and protocols will also provide the interfacing scheme and software to modem processors.
