ASIA
: Nextreaming Corporation announced that Korea’s Curitel Communications
has successfully used Nextreaming technology to bring cutting edge
video-on-demand (VOD) multimedia functionality to its 3G PH-K1000V
handset.

Designed
for KTF’s FIMM* service which runs on Korea’s 3G CDMA
1x EV-DO network, the PH-K1000V is crammed full of innovative features.
The PH-K1000V’s external TV and FM radio receiver allows handset
users running FIMM to watch and record TV on the handset’s two
inch colour TFT display. Furthermore, users can download high quality
video clips and live streaming video feeds, and can store up to 40
music tracks on its inbuilt MP3 player. The MPEG-4 camcorder allows
up to five hours of continuous filming and recording to the PH-K1000V’s
one gigabit of internal memory while the 3.1-megapixel CMOS camera
with its mechanical shutter, built-in flash and red-eye reduction
takes some of the best pictures found on any camera phone.
“Utilising
Nextreaming technology has enabled us to create the first 3G handset
to feature both a 3.1 megapixel camera and video-on-demand,”
said Moon-Seob Song, President & CEO, Curitel Communications Inc.
“The quality and functionality of Nextreaming’s camcorder
technology which we built into the PH-K1000V outperforms that of our
competitors.”
"Nextreaming
technology enables handset producers to shorten development cycles
within limited budgets and timeframes through the provision of high
quality multimedia solutions," said Dr IL-TAEK LIM, CEO of Nextreaming.
"Nextreaming has helped bring cutting edge functionality to the
PH-K1000V so that users can not only watch and record TV on the handset,
but also download high quality video clips, live streaming video and
MP3. PH-K1000V users can also send high resolution pictures and movies
to friends 3G handsets and PC’s over MMS.”
Nextreaming’s
services are recommended for handset manufactures that need to quickly
and effortlessly build high quality 3GPP or MPEG multimedia functionality
into handsets within controlled budgets. With its standard compliant
