On2 Technologies, a leader in video compression software and solutions, and C2 Microsystems, Inc., the leading developer of fully programmable media processor for low cost, high performance and networked media, announced that they have reached an agreement under which C2 Microsystems will incorporate On2's market leading TrueMotion codecs into its CC1100 media processor and integrated media framework.
C2 Microsystems' fully programmable solution-on-chip (SoC) is designed for networked digital home and mobile entertainment applications. The Linux based SoC approach offers small footprint, integrated processors and media framework, which delivers high performance at low cost for high volume, mass market applications, and supports all the major digital media codecs on the market today.
On2's TrueMotion VP6 and VP7 compression schemes lead the market in terms of high quality compression at low decoding complexity for low power devices. This agreement will make highly scalable, low cost, low power video solutions available for high volume products. The two companies are targeting IPTV set top boxes (STB), portable media devices, personal video recorders (PVR), and smart network TVs from C2's customers, who are market leading brands in consumer electronics.
