It will deliver faster rendering, scaling and rotation and superior image editing features - with the added benefit of reduced memory consumption.
Importantly, Scalado's patented Random Access JPEG technology allows imaging operations to occur while the image is in compressed form, greatly reducing RAM consumption.
Retroactive to Symbian OS v9.3 and v9.4, the licence ensures benefits for end-users and handset manufacturers alike and is free of any additional royalties.
Under the terms of the deal, Symbian and Scalado will create a joint team of highly skilled imaging and camera engineers to enhance and extend Symbian's camera and imaging offering.
