On2 Technologies, Inc. , a leader in video compression technologies, today announced the release of the Hantro 9100 software multi-decoder. Highly optimized for ARM9 and ARM11 processors, the decoder supports VP6, Sorenson Spark and H.264 in a single package thereby enabling handsets to offer high performance support for the video formats used in Adobe(R) Flash(R) Lite(TM) 3 and Flash(R) Player 9 / Moviestar. Available off-the-shelf, the Hantro 9100 multi-decoder provides manufacturers and service providers with an immediate and cost effective solution to significantly enhance the Flash video experience in mobile phones and other handheld devices.

As a result of the optimizations, the Hantro 9100 multi-decoder improves performance by as much as 100% over the reference codec designs, reducing the power required for video playback, saving battery-life and allowing processor resources to be available for developers to deliver the video experience consumers expect.

“Our Hantro 9100 software multi-decoder overcomes the challenges faced by handset manufacturers to quickly deliver the playback performance needed to make Flash video as compelling on handsets as it is on desktops.” said Bill Joll, President and CEO of On2 Technologies. “Video quality on devices is extremely dependent on optimizations for different processors, and On2 is addressing this across all relevant mobile video formats for the first time.”
