Bangkok--4 Jun--Aptina Imaging Next Generation of Aptina Multi-megapixel SOC Designs to Incorporate Scalado SpeedTags? Technology to Accelerate Image Capture and Management San Jose, Ca. and Lund, Sweden, June 4, 2008 - Aptina Imaging, a division of Micron Technology, Inc., today announced that it will integrate Scalado SpeedTagsTM technology into future mobile 3 MP and above multi-megapixel SOC designs. Scalado’s technology will be included in Aptina’s SOC sensors to assist in managing the larger files produced by the high resolution image sensor, and improve overall JPEG image handling performance. SOCs using the new technology will be used in mobile devices, such as camera phones and PDAs. “With our mobile multi-megapixel image sensor, customers benefit directly from the integration of Scalado’s image handling technology in our SOC designs,” says Sandor Barna, Vice President of Marketing for Aptina. “Incorporating SpeedTags into Aptina’s mobile image sensor designs is an excellent example of how Aptina is designing-in key technologies to bring world-class image sensors to the market.” Implementation of SpeedTags into Aptina hardware will support 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 improved JPEG handling performance with applications using the CAPS imaging suite, while eliminating shutter lag-time and improving captured images,” concluded, Fadi Abbas, VP Business Development at Scalado. Accelerated multi-megapixel technology is driven by the end-user experience and the demand for high resolution, easy-to-use, problem-free cameras and cameraphones. “Combining CAPS technology with Aptina’s multi-megapixel image sensors addresses the needs of end-users by improving the ability to handle and manage high resolution files” confirms Magnus Ingelsten, VP Marketing 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,” notes Venkat Puntambekar, Mobile Segment Director for Aptina.About Aptina Imaging For additional information on Aptina Imaging, visit www.aptina.com www.micron.com.About Scalado For more information, please visit www.scalado.com Contacts: Aptina Imaging Press Contact Mark Wilson Aptina Imaging Tel: +1 408-660-2298 E-mail: [email protected] Scalado press contact Andrew Ball/Chaz Brooks Chazbrooks Communications Tel: +44 (0)1483 537 890 E-mail: [email protected] www.chazb.com
