quality video and can support Adobe Flash Player 10 and OpenGL ES 2.0
utilising ZiiLABS’ proprietary media processing array to provide the video,
graphics features and low-power performance.

demonstration of the growing momentum behind ARM Cortex processors and the
key differentiators they offer for home devices,” said Ian Drew, EVP
