Jetstream Media Technologies Joins OCP-IP
PORTLAND, Ore.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Nov. 1, 2005—
Open Core Protocol International Partnership (OCP-IP)
announces that Jetstream Media Technologies has joined the
Organization. Jetstream is a provider of Silicon Intellectual Property
(SIP) solutions adding advanced video effects to consumer electronic
devices. Utilizing OCP allows Jetstream to shorten design time and
bring products to market more quickly.
Jetstream Media Technology leads the industry with specialized
video effect Silicon IP solutions for the consumer, prosumer and
professional video product markets. Their solutions enable electronic
designers to add powerful video effects directly to devices such as
camcorders, digital cameras, DVD recorders, etc. which were previously
not possible or cost prohibitive.
At the center of Jetstream Media Technology's products is their
patent-pending PerfectTransform(TM) architecture. Employing
sophisticated mathematical algorithms, PerfectTransform(TM) is able to
perform complex transition effects such as warping, selective
repetition, stretching, etc. all in real-time.
Jetstream plans to use OCP in its JetFx(TM) line of IP cores.
Designed specifically for value-added features in consumer
applications, the JetFx(TM) product line offers low cost, low power
solutions not possible using traditional design approaches.
"Jetstream is a premiere provider of Silicon Intellectual Property
solutions bringing advanced video effects to consumer electronic
devices," said Ian Mackintosh, president of OCP-IP. "OCP has shipped
in hundreds of millions of units including mobile phones, camcorders,
digital cameras, DVD recorders etc. We are delighted to have Jetstream
adopt and endorse OCP and we look forward to working with them in the
future."
"Partnerships with industry organizations and conformance to
recognized standards is key to delivering value to our customers,"
said Chuck Schalm, Director of Sales and Marketing at Jetstream Media
Technologies. "By facilitating a common design approach utilizing the
OCP socket and plug-and-play SoC design methodology, we can help our
customers create new features and bring products to market quicker
through IP reuse."
OCP-IP members receive free training, support, software tools,
working group products and documentation. This infrastructure allows
IP and EDA vendors to eliminate the need to internally design,
document, train and evolve a proprietary standard and set of support
tools, which enables these vendors to focus their efforts and
resources on the challenges of developing IP that can be quickly
integrated and easily verified in a wide variety of SoC designs. As a
result, IC design teams can better dedicate their critical resources
to the design and delivery of products.
