Room MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MIPS
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
consumer, networking, personal entertainment, communications and
business applications, today announced that AMIMON, an emerging
leader in semiconductor technology for wireless transmission of
high-definition (HD) video, has licensed the low-power MIPS32(R)
M4K(R) core for development of wireless HD audio and video transfer
applications. The market for HD video is already booming for
devices including HDTV and DVD players. ABI Research forecasted
sales of 2.4 million HD video players in 2007, rising to 55 million
in 2011, and In-Stat predicted that more than 60 million households
will have at least one wide screen, HDTV display in their home by
the end of 2007. AMIMON's new WHDI(TM) chipsets for wireless
streaming of uncompressed HD video and audio are poised to help
grow the market even further by enabling a new generation of
wireless HD products. "To achieve the wire-like quality and speed
of AMIMON's wireless HD technology for consumer electronic devices,
the underlying technology must offer the best possible mix of high
performance, low cost and low power," said Yoav Nissan-Cohen, CEO,
AMIMON. "The MIPS32 M4K core delivers on this promise, and because
it is small and synthesizable, it also offers the design
flexibility we need to quickly get our products to market."
"Companies like AMIMON are pioneering the next generation of
technology for the digital home, and we are very pleased that they
chose MIPS," said Brad Holtzinger, vice president of worldwide
sales at MIPS Technologies. "With today's consumer electronics,
it's all about performance, power and price, and the M4K core wins
in each of these areas. MIPS continues to be the technology of
choice for the digital home for products like cable modems, DVD
recorders, DTVs, and cable set-top boxes." MIPS Technologies offers
SoC designers a comprehensive range of MIPS- Verified(TM) solutions
for high-performance, low-power, cost-effective consumer
applications. The small, high-performance M4K core offers a
superior solution for multi-CPU SoC designs, which are becoming
increasingly popular in next-generation networking and broadband
applications. About AMIMON AMIMON is a fabless semiconductor
company pioneering wireless uncompressed high-definition video for
universal connectivity among CE video devices. AMIMON's
uncompressed Wireless High-definition Interface (WHDI(TM)) allows
flat-panel televisions and multimedia projectors to wirelessly
interface to all HDTV video sources at a quality equivalent to that
achieved with wired interfaces such as component video, DVI and
HDMI(TM). The company is headquartered in Herzlia, Israel, with
offices in Santa Clara, Calif., USA, and Tokyo, Japan. More
