Multimedia

Our hardware and software options for video, imaging, and audio work with the baseband to offload tasks and deliver special-purpose functionality. These same options are also available in our Nexperia cellular system solutions.


Nexperia mobile multimedia processors These options give handset manufacturers the flexibility to integrate video, imaging, audio, graphics, and security functions as they evolve. The processors can be combined with Nexperia mobile basebands to provide system-level operation.
Audio processing The PNX015x is a state-of-the-art audio processor for audio playback and recording in music phones. It's compatible with the latest standards for DRM, and requires very little board space. It significantly reduces power consumption to extend battery life for music playback.
USB audio The PNX0161 is a single-chip solution for USB audio that makes it easy to build digital-headset accessories for mobile and portable devices. It is a small, low-power, fully USB-compliant IC that performs stereo playback and recording, with optional FM radio, across a USB link.
Audio enhancements We are the world's leading supplier of FM radio ICs for cellular handsets. Also, our LifeVibes software solutions, from NXP Software, improve audio quality and speech clarity.
Picture enhancements The NXP companion chip SAA8500 for picture enhancement and reduced power consumption is a small, highly efficient IC that implements patented and proprietary algorithms for video and display processing that improve performance and save power.
Video enhancements We improve multimedia performance with embedded functions like MMS messaging and JPEG encoding, and we have dedicated processors for special multimedia functions. Our mobile multimedia processor SAA8510 with TV-out, for example, converts digital video signals into a high-quality analog TV signal that can be displayed on NTSC and PAL TV sets worldwide. We also offer video-related software solutions from NXP Software.
3GPP A/V software Our software-based Video Player Service enables playback of 3GPP A/V clips, and our Video Encoder Service software supports real-time grapping and encoding of 3GPP-compliant A/V files. With our open APIs for A/V playing and recording, the phone can even become a full-featured camcorder.
Gaming We're fully equipped to support advanced gaming applications, with embedded Java and J2ME, plus LifeVibes software solutions from NXP Software. Our developers are also looking at technology options for 3D, including Java extensions and emerging standards for graphics programming such as embedded OpenGL.
Application software Working with our partners in the NXP Partner Program, we offer a wide variety of application software, ranging form user interfaces and RTOSs to multimedia applications developed especially for Nexperia cellular system solutions.
