Symbian will licence Scalado’s software to improve the imaging capabilities of its mid-range devices.
The partners say the three year licence benefits end-users and handset manufacturers and is free of any additional royalties. Scalado technology delivers faster rendering, scaling/rotation and superior image editing features yet reduces memory consumption. Its Random Access JPEG technology also allows these operations to occur while the image is in compressed form.
Mats Jacobson, CEO of Scalado, said: “Consumers today expect mobile phone cameras to perform just as well as digital still cameras.
Building on our existing long and fruitful partnership, this new initiative sees Symbian and Scalado working together to ensure that the leading mobile OS will deliver the beauty of high quality and high speed image handling with full connectivity and sharing options to consumers.”
