Scalado SpeedTags Technology in Fujitsu Microelectronics’s products

Scalado SpeedTags™ Technology for Accelerated Image Capture and Management to be adopted in Fujitsu Microelectronics

Lund, February 05th, 2009 — Scalado SpeedTags™ technology for accelerated image capture and management is adopted by Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited’s future mobile ISP (Image Signal Processor) which makes better image quality called “Milbeaut™” designs featuring high megapixels. Scalado’s technology will be included in their ISP in order to help manage the larger files produced by the high-resolution image sensors, thereby improving overall JPEG image handling performance significantly. The ISP using the new technology will be used in mobile devices, such as camera phones and PDAs as well as in digital still cameras. Scalado products currently exist in more than 300 million mobile devices.

“This is a very important deal which undoubtedly leads to superior performance and features mainly in camera phones increasing Scalado’s mobile market penetration and will also help introducing Scalado to the digital still camera industry where Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited has a strong presence. Also it is a significant proof that Scalado is the first choice for still imaging from leading players in the entire imaging value chain from up- to downstream” says Fadi Abbas, Co-Founder and VP of Business Development at Scalado. “The combination enables outstanding results, including zero shutter lag, burst mode, astonishing auto panorama capturing, and other refined features.”

Implementation of SpeedTags into the camera chip will support the use of Scalado’s CAPS™ imaging suite, a powerful solution which is focused on providing enhanced functionality to camera phones. As a result, users can expect increased performance and data handling capabilities for high resolution files that will dramatically improve the experience of viewing images on a mobile device.

“With the benefits of Scalado’s mobile imaging technologies, Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited will be able to respond to some of the critical challenges set by the constantly increasing resolution sizes and megapixels of images” said Tom Miyake, General Manager of Imaging System Solution Division from Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited. “Moreover we have a confidence that our ISP ”Milbeaut™” will have stronger presence in camera phones market and, together with Scalado, we are looking for taking the end-user experience to a new level in camera phones and other markets.”
