CEVA MM2000 Powers Solomon Systech MagusCore Multimedia Processor

CEVA Inc. has announced that Solomon Systech Limited has licensed and deployed the programmable MM2000 portable multimedia solution for their MagusCore multimedia processor platform family. Solomon recently introduced a processor platform based on the MagusCore dual-core ARM + CEVA DSP architecture, the SSD1933 multimedia processor. Targeting applications such as mobile digital TV (MDTV), portable media players (PMP), personal navigation devices (PND), smart mobile phones and mobile internet devices (MID), the dual-core distributed architecture of SSD1933 leverages the power-efficient CEVA-X DSP core at the heart of MM2000 to handle all multimedia-related tasks including multi-standard video and audio, and recorder functions. The MM2000 delivers complete and superior performance for multimedia acceleration as compared to the traditional architecture approach of using a CPU combined with hardware multimedia accelerators. The CEVA MM2000 portable multimedia solution is designed around a single CEVA-X DSP core without requiring any accelerators or dedicated engines for video and audio processing, and is supported by an advanced set of development tools.
