Tessera licenses new video tools solution to Fujitsu Semiconductor

SAN JOSE, USA: Tessera Technologies Inc. announced that Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited has licensed Tessera’s OptiML Video Tools hardware acceleration technology to enhance the video and imaging capabilities in its Milbeaut chipsets.

Fujitsu Semiconductor’s Milbeaut chips provide low power consumption and high performance for the most advanced imaging technology in compact digital cameras and cell phones. By incorporating the Tessera technology, these chips can now offer optimum use of computing resources, enabling smaller, lighter, slimmer devices.

“With Tessera’s innovative hardware acceleration IP core, we are better able to meet the demand for high-quality video in our Milbeaut chipsets,” said Tom Miyake, senior vice president, Advanced Products Business Unit, Fujitsu Semiconductor. “By incorporating this Tessera technology, we are able to offer our customers additional capabilities to take better quality, more impressive video with little or no extra effort.”

“Our latest video tool offering is targeted at the rapidly emerging video capture market and provides optimum image quality combined with highly efficient overall system processing operation,” said Michael Bereziuk, executive VP, Imaging & Optics, Tessera. “Since they are a leading chip-set provider to the digital camera and cell phone markets, we are especially pleased that Fujitsu Semiconductor has chosen to use our solution for their next generation product offerings.”

The OptiML Video Tools solution enables the capture and recording of clear, high-quality videos. The technology combines image processing hardware and software in a single solution to maximize camera performance while reducing demands on system resources. The hardware acceleration is used for computationally intensive tasks, with the remainder of the image processing is carried out by the software.

Fujitsu’s Milbeaut chipsets are used in digital still cameras and cell phones.

The OptiML Video Tools solution is available for licensing now.
