The software provides consumer electronics manufacturers with a comprehensive embedded software platform to enable high-definition voice and video calling (including wideband voice and up to 720p video) applications on i.MX51 processor in IP-connected devices such as multimedia tablets, video phones, digital photo frames, mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and netbooks / smartbooks, as well as a broad range of multimedia capture / playback / transmit functionality, the company said.

 

The ability of VeriCall Edge 4.0 to deliver media processing, networking technology and quality of service (QoS) components in a single software framework helps CE manufacturers minimize the challenges and risks inherent to embedded software design, the company said.

 

The collaboration also helps manufacturers shorten product development cycles and accelerate time-to-market.  

 

“Advanced processors such as the i.MX51 device are enabling the delivery of real-time HD video communications and digital entertainment services to a wide range of connected devices,” said Jeff Schline, director, partner and marketing programs for Trinity Convergence (News - Alert), in a statement.

The company has already licensed VeriCall software for the i.MX51 to OEMs manufacturing multimedia phone, set-top box and smartbook devices, company officials said.
