Partners: working with
the best in class

Red Embedded Design offers a complete custom service, taking complex consumer products from design through to manufacturing. This requires cooperation with and participation by a number of partners; we are proud to be working with tier one companies who share our commitment to quality, innovation and product development.

Our component partners include Texas Instruments, who have given us invaluable support in using their DaVinci chipset; other key technology partners are our browser suppliers, Opera and ANT Software. Our marketing and distribution partners include leading names in the videotelephony industry, including MyJoice AB in Sweden, BT in the UK and Suncorp Technologies in Asia.

Texas Instruments

At the heart of Red Embedded Design’s videophone technology lies Texas Instruments’ DSP products. The TMS320DM642 digital signal processor powers the VPHS100, VPHS200 & VPTV100, while the very latest TMS320DM6446 digital media processors are found in the heart of the VPTV200, VPHS200, VPHS300 & VPHS400 range.

TMS320DM644x digital media processors are highly integrated SoCs based on an ARM926 processor and the TMS320C64x+ DSP core. The TMS320DM6446 and TMS320DM6443 processors are ideal for applications such as videophones, automotive infotainment, digital still cameras, streaming media, and IP set-top box.

Texas Instruments Incorporated is the world leader in digital signal processing and analog technologies, the semiconductor engines of the Internet age. www.ti.com

Opera

Red Embedded Design chose Opera For Devices™ for the VPHS400 range of videophones. Opera 9 for Devices delivers the power of the web to set top boxes, portable media players and other devices. Based on the same core engine as the renowned Opera desktop browser, Opera 9 for Devices accelerates the development of devices and ensures the highest quality Internet experience. www.opera.com

ANT Ltd

Red Embedded Design chose ANT’s Fresco browser to provide the user interface for their VPTV100 videophone. The ANT Fresco browser is compact and fully featured, and enables service operators and OEMs to differentiate products and services with their own branding.

ANT is a leading provider of browser, user interface and content rendering software solutions for interactive TV, STBs, DVD and other consumer electronics devices, industrial appliances, service operators and silicon vendors. www.antlimited.com

MyJoice AB

Joice is a TV–phone service from Swedish company MyJoice AB which makes it easy for people of all generations to communicate through their television set, aimed especially at individuals who would find a regular phone or computer difficult to handle. The service is based around a customised VPTV400 (the Joicebox) and is distributed around Europe by MyJoice. Red Embedded is MyJoice’s UK distributor for the Joicebox. www.myjoice.com

BT

Our VPHS200 product was marketed and sold by BT – the UK national telecommunications operator - a fruitful partnership for both partners. BT was able to specify the product they required and benefited from continuous support from our software expertise. We worked with BT to implement new features and ensured the product quality met the very high standards required for volume consumer products.
