For adaptable use of the revolutionary algorithm DMNA, TMC has developed H.264 software and hardware IP that fully utilizes DMNA technology as well as MPEG4 and MPEG2. This development has been achieved based on reference of MPEG4 for mobile handsets, which no other competitors can catch up for mobile application in Japan.
