Overview

Qualcomm's Qcamcorder™ solution is a real-time video encoding solution that enables mobile devices to record video and audio simultaneously. Now mobile users can record video on the go and save the file in memory, then share their experience with friends by sending it as a video message. Built upon Qualcomm's existing MSM chipset solution camera architecture and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), the Qcamcorder solution integrates quickly and easily into mobile devices.

Benefits

• Allows manufacturers to add video/audio recording capability to their mobile devices quickly and affordably without adding any additional hardware
• Reduces overall device cost as an optimized single-chip solution
• Delivers high performance and uses low power with embedded motion estimation hardware acceleration
• Enables mobile video applications, such as video messaging, to differentiate device manufacturers' products and offer wireless operators new revenue streams

Key Functionality

• Standards-based video encoder software application (3GPP/3GPP2)
• Ability to record video and audio to memory or storage devices such as MMC
• Video preview and viewfinder, record, stop, pause and resume functions
• Zoom, brightness and contrast control functions
• Ability to replace audio stream in an existing video file with a newly recorded audio stream (audio dubbing)
• Ability to add GPS coordinates to the encoded output file
• Multiple audio codec support — QCELP®, EVRC, AMR
• Multiple display size support — QCIF up to WVGA support 
• Interoperability with Qualcomm's Qtv™ solution
