Scalado: Alma Technologies to integrate Scalado SpeedTagsTM technology
in its JPEG products
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:13102008
Lund and Athens -- Scalado, the leader in mobile imaging software
solutions, and Alma Technologies the leading IP provider in image and
video compression IP cores, has today announced details of the first
JPEG compression IP core supporting Scalado SpeedTagsTM technology. By
further enhancing the fastest JPEG core in the market with Scalado's
technology, Alma Technologies will now be able to provide efficient
handling of multi-megapixel compressed images in all its future ASIC
and FPGAs SoC designs.
The resulting increased performance and data handling capabilities will
improve the visual experience of viewing images for the user and will
enable unique differentiation opportunities on any mobile device. This
is made possible due to the fact that the compressed files that are
produced by Alma Technologies' cores, will now be compatible with
Scalado's CAPS imaging suite which is focused on providing enhanced
functionality to camera equipped mobile devices such as camera phones
and PDAs.
"The partnership with Alma is a strong initiative from Scalado in order
to offer our customers improved and faster time to market" Said, Fadi
Abbas, Vice President Business Development at Scalado. "Combined with
the new Scalado Camera EngineTM technology from Scalado, once more
users win enhanced performance and superior and unique user experience"
"By combining SpeedTagsTM and the efficiency of our JPEG cores, with
the benefits of Scalado's leading image technologies, we will be able
to respond to some of the most critical design challenges set by the
constantly increasing resolution sizes and megapixels of images," said
Nikos Zervas, CEO for Alma Technologies.
