TOKYO-Coding Technologies, Matsushita Electric Industrial (Panasonic) and NEC jointly released a new low-power decoder version for the upcoming MPEG-4 AAC-plus-SBR standard. The low-power implementation allows the standard to run on processors for mobile and portable devices
“The work of Panasonic, NEC and Coding Technologies has significantly increased the reach of aacPlus,” said Martin Dietz, president and chief executive officer of Coding Technologies. “Although processor power is increasing rapidly, power consumption is still a key factor in mobile markets. The efficiency afforded by low-power aacPlus will give an early boost to the new standard.”
