Scalado announces first-ever LIVE demo of new imaging technology at the Symbian Smartphone Show

Scalado and Symbian join forces with Texas Instruments and OmniVision to deliver a truly unique camera user experience
Scalado (www.scalado.com), a world-leader in mobile imaging software solutions, has today announced that its latest camera solution - the first to include both Scalado SpeedTags™ and Scalado Camera Engine™ - is to be demonstrated live at the Symbian Smartphone show from October 21-22 in Earls Court, London.
This solution is a collaboration between Scalado, Symbian, Texas Instruments (TI) and OmniVision. Scalado's latest mobile imaging technology will operate with TI OMAP platform for Symbian OS™, the market-leading open operating system for mobile phones, and OmniVision's smart camera sensor, with Scalado SpeedTags embedded to manage the large files produced by high-resolution images and to improve overall JPEG image handling performance.
The result is a solution that can provide 20 frames/second instant full- resolution image handling, as well as 'zero shutter lag', burst-mode image capture, and instant zoom/pan at the moment the image is captured. Until now, burst-mode image capture - the rapid capture of multiple images - has traditionally been associated only with expensive, high-end cameras.
Likewise, only advanced Digital Still Cameras (DSC) and Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras have thus far been capable of managing the delay between pressing the capturing button and actually saving the captured image. As a result, 'shutter lag' has typically been one of the biggest technical challenges facing camera phones, especially when photographing moving objects. With Scalado's 'zero shutter lag' feature, however, users can be sure that the image which they see in the viewfinder is the image that they capture.
"This is the world's first live demo of such advanced mobile imaging software, a fact which reinforces Scalado's status as experts and innovators who are focused on continuously enhancing imaging performance," says Fadi Abbas, VP Business Development at Scalado. "The combination of Symbian OS, TI’s OMAP platform, the OmniVision Sensor, SpeedTag™ technology and our next-generation camera architecture will revolutionise the way mobile users take pictures.”
"This new imaging technology is a significant step towards achieving advanced DSC performance on a camera phone, and we are delighted that Symbian is the platform of choice for this achievement," adds Tony Newpower, Director of OS Product Management, Symbian.
This latest camera solution from Scalado is being included in future versions of Symbian OS, which is already renowned for bringing high-end camera functionality to mobile phones, as well as high-end imaging to lower-cost hardware for handset manufacturers.
Demonstrations of Scalado’s latest mobile imaging technology for Symbian smartphones for press will be held at the Symbian Smartphone Show, on the Symbian stand. To arrange to see a demonstration or a one-on-one interview, please contact Andrew Ball (see Press Contacts below) or come along to the Scalado stand 66 next to the Meeting hub and Media zone.
