Analog Devices and Actimagine have collaborated to increase video performance for their Blackfin based platforms. Blackfin is a fully programmable platform that supports rapid time-to-market with differentiating features, content and services without compromising battery life or cost structures: consumer devices that are centered around low-cost, fixed MPEG ASICs are unable to support evolving standards and Blackfin provides a 100% software implementation that delivers the upgradeability that MPEG chips can’t. Actimagine Mobiclip video codec has been designed to run with less processor usage than standard MPEG based video codecs. Incorporating the software Actimagine Mobiclip video codec on Blackfin generates higher resolution video display with no increase in power consumption.

Combining Actimagine Mobiclip video codec with Blackfin therefore provides customers with a very flexible, high performance and cost effective solution.
