TIVR Communications, a technology startup involved in development of high-performance, low-power multimedia software solutions for next-generation wireless handsets, has released an H.264 baseline profile video software decoder optimised for mobile and handheld devices. TIVR's H.264/AVC decoder benchmark results show that real-time (25frame/s) decoding of QVGA (320 x 240) resolution H.264 baseline profile streams coded at 256Kbit/s is achievable on ARM9 based devices running at 220MHz.
Until now industry has struggled to provide 25frame/s decode of QVGA resolution H.264 content on mobile devices.
TIVR's AVC decoder makes it a reality thereby enhancing the experience of mobile users.
TIVR sources commented: 'TIVR's H.264 video decoder is highly portable across all the platforms and we plan to support wide variety of mobile processors and OS'.

'We presently support ARM7, ARM9, ARM9E, StrongARM and Xscale processors'.
'Evaluation version of decoder is available for symbian and WinCE OS based SmartPhones/PDAs'.
'We plan to add support for Linux and Palm OS by middle of September'.
The company adds that it is open to provide support for other processors and OSs.
The adoption of H.264 for mobile broadcast services (DVB-H, ISDB-T, DMB) has opened up a vast market for H.264 video decoders.
High quality video at low bitrates makes H.264 the best choice for content providers for mobile devices.
'TIVR has delivered its promise of delivering efficient solutions for mobile multimedia', said the company spokesman, 'which is the motto of TIVR'.
