Industry’s Lowest Power MG1264 Requires Only 125mW Enabling USB Bus-Powered
DVR Functionality Compatible With Video iPods(TM), PCs, and Macs

Mobilygen Inc., a leading provider of low-power H.264 codec ICs for mobile
devices, announced today that its MG1264 chip supports real-time, high-quality
H.264/AAC video capture compatible with the video iPod(TM). This is the
industry’s first chip enabling manufacturers to easily add H.264 video
recording capabilities compatible with video-enabled iPods, as well as PCs and
Macs. The MG1264 requires only 125mW total chip power enabling USB powered
devices to capture and encode H.264 30fps QVGA 768kbps Baseline Profile video
including 2-channel AAC high-fidelity stereo audio.

People want to control what they watch, and when they watch it. Easy
conversion of personal content, and real-time DVR functionality, are essential
ingredients to mass-market adoption of video in portable devices. According
to a recent Jupiter Research survey, 51% of consumers would watch movies on a
portable media player and 55% of them are interested in watching TV shows.

"Consumers want simple and easy personalization of their video content,"
says Steve Musallam, vice president of product marketing at Mobilygen. "Our
MG1264 provides superior hardware based H.264/AAC encoding quality and an
inexpensive solution to building low-power devices that capture in real-time
30fps TV-quality video for new mobile products like the video iPod."

Mobilygen’s unique chip architecture is dedicated to low-power video
processing. The patented EVE (Enabling Video Everywhere) architecture was
used to implement the MG1264. It includes an advanced video pre-processor
that greatly improves H.264 encoder efficiency, and patented low-power H.264
video coding algorithms developed specifically to maximize video quality. The
MG1264 is capable of encoding H.264 up to full D1 video resolution and
2-channel AAC audio requiring only 185mW of total chip power.

Availability and Pricing
The MG1264 is fully qualified and available in production volumes now.
Commercial samples and evaluation boards are also available. The MG1264 is
priced at less than $10 in production volumes.
