 Scalado AB, a leading developer of digital imaging software, has today unveiled
the new version of its CAPS(tm) imaging Software Development Kit (SDK) for camera-phones,
CAPS version 3.4.
New imaging SDK features autoscaling and autoresizing for MMS and is JSR234 Compatible
The new 3.4 version works with all previous CAPS modules and is fully compatible
with version 3.3 released in 2006. CAPS v3.4 has already been signed up by four
of the mobile phone OEM's and ODM's on pre release, and Scalado hope to announce
the addition of a number of key industry players to the ever expanding customer
portfolio throughout 2007.
"We continually strive for improvements in the performance of CAPS and its compatibility
with all handsets and operating systems, which help to simplify the integration
into new camera-phones, said Mats Jacobson, CEO of Scalado says. "CAPS is an
innovative product and includes several unique patented features and we develop
ideas and applications further through working closely on projects together with
our clients."
CAPS has been developed and optimised for camera phones that feature the new
generation multi mega pixel cameras, and offers an extremely CPU and memory efficient
solution which drastically decreases both cost of image processing and processing
times when performing imaging tasks. Images are decoded and encoded using Scalado's
Image management technology, the main component of which is RAJPEG(tm), a Scalado
patented JPEG codec technology.
Some of the new improvements in CAPS v3.4 include:
* CAPS v.3.4 is JSR 234 compatible, which allows
applications that have been developed for JSR can now also benefit from CAPS'
fast and feature rich imaging engine.
* The performance in both encoding and decoding is
enhanced by up to 40% during usage and Scalado is still work to improve this
performance and optimisation further.
* Automatic image quality enhancements in the CAPS
ClearShot(tm) module. Improved image quality enhancements that enhance backlight
in the camera application or editor.
* DRM compatibility enhancements
* Image autoscaling and autoresizing for best MMS image
quality are implemented.
With CAPS mobile phone manufacturers can drastically reduce development and device
costs and significantly shorten time to market by using CAPS. For this reason,
more than 40 different mobile phone models on the market today already make use
of the CAPS software engine, including devices from Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.
Scalado will "show you the difference" at this years CTIA Wireless March 27-29,
2007! Meet Scalado at stand 985, hall A2.
