Zoran Corporation (Nasdaq: ZRAN) announced that its highly integrated tenth generation COACH digital camera processor, offering advanced video compression, DSLR-grade performance and high definition video recording, is available in sample quantities to qualified digital camera manufacturers.
COACH 10 Processors Integrate Advanced Codecs and Connectivity Solutions, Including High-Definition Digital Video and Still Output for Digital Still Cameras and Camcorders
The COACH 10 processor is the industry’s only digital camera solution that supports high ISO-6400 at full picture resolution, jitter stabilization for both video and still photos, high definition Advanced Video Coding (H.264), standard definition MPEG-4, DivX video recording, and still image capture at 12 megapixel resolution in less than one-third of a second between consecutive shots, using Zoran’s proprietary still and video processing technologies.
“We expect that over 105 million digital cameras were sold worldwide during 2006 and about 113 million will be sold during 2007,” said Chris Chute, Research Manager at IDC. “Market developments will include continued improvement in image quality, processor performance and the integration of video recording. High quality video capture, such as that offered by Zoran’s COACH 10 processor, will play a significant role in future consumer cameras because video is quickly becoming a predominant feature in the digital camera market.”
