Overview

Sophisticated wireless handset users need more than just good sound quality and long battery life. They want a handset that reflects their personal style. Qualcomm's CMX® (Compact Media Extensions™) multimedia software is a cost-effective approach that enables developers to create customized ringtones and screensavers. Through an authoring tool provided by Qualcomm, content developers can create rich content that enables time-synchronization of MIDI-based voice, text, music, graphics and animation – delivering exciting and compelling content to the marketplace.

The CMX software is a key component of Qualcomm's multimedia suite, and is the technology behind the high-quality polyphonic ringtones and multimedia animation that global consumers have come to expect from their wireless handsets. CMX is designed for use with most Qualcomm Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™)  chipsets, providing tools that deliver enhanced multimedia solutions. With CMX-based applications, operators have new revenue-generating opportunities that differentiate their product offerings and deliver superior service to their customers.
