ARC International, a provider of consumer intellectual property (IP) to OEM and semiconductor companies, has announced that Abilis (News - Alert) Systems, a Kudelski Group company, has standardized its mobile DTV product development on ARC technology.
Abilis has taken a new license for ARC solutions that will help them leverage all the expertise and software that they have already developed to create next generation products.
According to ARC, existing ARC-Based chips from Abilis include single chip “antenna-to-digital” TV receiver solutions targeted at the rapidly increasing Digital TV market that is estimated to reach 140 million units by 2011.
ARC’s technology has enabled Abilis to establish itself as one of the market leaders in the fast-growing Mobile TV market, said Yves Mathys, CEO of Abilis Systems.
He also said he expects that this agreement will help them build new solutions that deliver high quality video content to consumers, anywhere, any time, on any mobile device. ARC’s technology also gives Abilis the flexibility to accommodate the wide range of requirements in support of their Digital TV product roadmap.
Carl Schlachte, president and CEO of ARC International stated that their solutions are increasingly being recognized as the solution of choice for multimedia applications, as they enable customers to deliver compelling experiences to consumers.
In the case of Abilis, their technology has enabled them to create flexible chip solutions for receiving digital TV broadcasts on portable electronics devices, from smart mobile handsets to media players.
ARC was in news earlier this month when XStreamHD took a license for ARC’s audio processing technology. ARC audio processing technology will help decode Dolby Digital Plus for XStreamHD’s ultimate home entertainment system which delivers Full HD (1080p) video and studio quality audio directly to the home via satellite.
