Broadcom Corporation has announced a low-power multimedia processor, the BCM2727, which supports high-definition video, 3D gaming and 12-megapixel camera capabilities without draining a phone’s battery.
The VideoCore III processor is designed for next generation, multimedia mobile phones and is the first processor to feature Broadcom’s VideoCore III multimedia architecture.
The BCM2727 facilitates high-definition camcorder functionality, allowing high-definition video to be encoded and decoded in 720p mode, with 720 lines progressively scanned.
The chip also supports 12-megapixel digital camera processing. An image signal processor is integrated on the chip, providing colour correction, image stabilisation and red-eye reduction.
2D and 3D graphics accelerators are also integrated, which support more than 50 image and video standards and codecs.
The chips are now available in sample quantities.
