Press Release
Jetstream Media Technologies Joins OCP-IP
PORTLAND, ORE. — November 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™ architecture. Employing sophisticated
mathematical algorithms, PerfectTransform™ 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™ line of IP cores. Designed
specifically for value-added features in consumer applications, the JetFx™
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.
