Aptina Imaging, a division of Micron Technology Inc.(San Jose, Calif.), is to integrate Scalado AB's SpeedTags technology into future mobile SOC designs for above 3 Megapixels.
Scalado's (Lund, Sweden) technology will be included in Aptina's SOC sensors to assist in managing the larger files produced by the high resolution image sensor improving overall JPEG image handling performance. SOCs using the new technology will be used in mobile devices, such as camera phones and PDAs.
Implementation of SpeedTags into Aptina hardware supports the use of Scalado's CAPS imaging suite which is focused on providing enhanced functionality to cameraphones.
"The Scalado-Aptina collaboration enables camera phones to deliver improved capturing, instant access to captured multi-megapixel images, unique user experience and JPEG handling performance by applications using the CAPS imaging suite, and eliminates shutter lag-time improving captured images," said Fadi Abbas, VP business development at Scalado.
Aptina designs its sensor solutions with the overall camera system in mind. "The imaging market is built on innovations that go beyond just a single component. By integrating features like Scalado's SpeedTags, we meet our design goal of improving the overall camera system as a whole," added Venkat Puntambekar, mobile segment director for Aptina.
