Ratified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in December 2008, the SVG Tiny 1.2 specification is an open standard that provides the ability to create a rich array of graphical content, from static images to animations, to interactive Web and mobile applications.

 The BitFlash Rich Media Engine 6.7 provides mobile device manufacturers with a superior environment for creating and distributing high-quality multimedia. The Mali-SVG-t software engine is an optimized version of the BitFlash Rich Media Engine available on ARM processor-based platforms.

Created through working closely with Quickoffice, it is optimized to take advantage of the graphics acceleration capabilities of the Mali family of graphics processing units (GPUs). The Mali-SVG-t solution has been licensed to a number of ARM Partners as part of the ARM Mali complete graphics stack of hardware and software, supporting the standards for advanced graphics required by device OEMs.

BitFlash 6.7 also allows customers to deliver standard-based technologies that meet mobile operator requirements for SVG Tiny 1.2, OpenVG and JSR 226 and JSR 287.

“ARM is fully committed to open standards and our customers are consistently turning to us to deliver products conformant to the newest mobile specifications,” said Lance Howarth, general manager, Media Processing Division, ARM. “Our partnership with Quickoffice enables us to deliver the optimized Mali-SVG-t product to our customers, based on the best-in-class, newly-ratified BitFlash Rich Media Engine to allow device manufacturers to design compelling, next-generation GUIs and J2ME applications.”

“We are extremely pleased to provide our customers with the latest release of the standards -based BitFlash Rich Media Engine,” said Gregg Fiddes, vice president of sales and strategic partnerships at Quickoffice. “This product release addresses both the SVG Tiny 1.2 standard and market driven features for mobile devices and digital set-top boxes.
