ATI said the audio engine in the new Imageon 2282 and 2182 processors includes features such as 3D ring-tones and stereo recording and playback in industry standard formats. The video engine enables a mobile digital video recorder/player and a 3 mega-pixel digital still camera.
In addition, the Imageon 2282 provides video streaming and video conferencing functionality with picture-in-picture support.
The higher performance Imageon 2282 model is targeted at the high mid-tier mobile phone segment while the Imageon 2182 targets the mainstream, low mid-tier segment.
All Imageon components come with necessary software drivers and middleware that is compatible across the product line. Phones powered by the new Imageon processors are expected to ship later this year from leading handset manufacturers.
