Mobile phone chipset gets DivX certification
Continuing its meandering process of certifying as many devices in the "three screens" market (PC, TV, mobile) that it can, DivX has announced a partnership with Korea's Mtekvision semiconductor company, certifying one of that company's processors for mobile devices.
The MtekVision MV8722, part of the company's "Maple" family of processors will allow playback of DivX video at resolutions up to 720x400 pixels.
The MV8722 is a member of Mtekvision's "Maple" family of mobile chipsets which include processors used in ISDB-T receivers, prominent mobile TV standard for Japan and Brazil, and record-breakingly small Camera Control Processors (CCP).
DivX has already certified three individual handsets, two of which are made by Samsung, a major buyer of Mtekvision "Maple" products like the MV317 camera processor.
Handsets utilizing the new DivX-certified chipset have not been announced yet.
