Description
The APPROACH 5C is a pin compatible family of mobile multimedia
processors designed to meet the highest quality and performance, as
well as lowest cost and power, required for next generation multi-
media Feature Phones.
The APPROACH 5C family provides innovative features such as
digital mobile TV support, 3D-Graphics accelerator for gaming appli-
cations, VGA LCD support and full interface of PAL/NTSC composite
TV out.
The APPROACH 5C is Zoran's fifth generation application processor
for handheld and mobile multimedia phones.
The APPROACH 5C is a complete solution including software
applications enabling handset manufacturers and design houses to
differentiate high performance multimedia products with a variety of
features and long battery life.
The APPROACH 5C integrates Zoran's leading DSC Image Signal
Processing (ISP) providing the highest available quality stills in reso-
lution of 5MP and VGA resolution video capture.
