Aricent, the full-service, full-spectrum communications software company, has announced that HighAndes, a developer of audio and video creation software for PCs and mobile devices, has chosen to integrate Aricent's multimedia software with its audio and video editing tool for mobile devices, trakAxMobile. trakAxMobile is a downloadable program that allows consumers to edit and "mashup" videos, slideshows, audio tracks and music mixes on their mobile phones. The application will be on demonstration at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Aricent delivers the video and audio encoding and decoding software to enable trakAxMobile users to seamlessly mix audio, still photo slide shows, video and text. Using trakAxMobile, end users can create their own professional-quality narrated slide shows, sound-tracked videos, ringtones and more. Content can be uploaded and shared online on YouTube, through social networking sites such as MySpace, or via e-mail. trakAxMobile, with the Aricent multimedia engines, is currently available for more than 250 varieties of Microsoft Smartphones and PocketPCs.
"HighAndes chose Aricent because of its proven track record in delivering unique and user-friendly mobile video and multimedia software for consumers," said Catriona Barry, project manager, HighAndes. "Aricent's support allowed us to quickly move our trakAxMobile software to the market. Aricent's encoding and decoding software allows our application to seamlessly blend several different types of media on a mobile phone, an unprecedented achievement for people that spend an increasing amount of time on the go, but still want to share photos and videos with their peers."
"As consumers become ever more sophisticated in their desire for features, mobile device manufacturers are realizing the value of multimedia applications like trakAxMobile," said Sajal Gupta, head of the products business unit, Aricent. "Aricent supports device manufacturers' goal to make their mobile phones deliver excellent experiences, and continuously works with innovative companies like HighAndes to help develop the multimedia applications consumers want to use."
