Taiwan ImagingTek Corporation (ImagingTek, TITC) is dedicated to the development of innovative image/video/audio processing
and compression technology. ImagingTek was established in November 2002 with its headquarters located in ITRI Incubator Center.
Postal address is shown in "Contact" IIT GmbH, the daughter company of ImagingTek is financially backed by a German federal
government fund (tbg) has business operations in Munich, Germany. TITC's core compression technology has been validated and
being implemented in image and video related electronic products which provides substantial cost savings to system manufacturers
and will provide the end users of digital camera, DVD/DV/STB, LCD/DTV, PDA, MFP, eBook / eDictionary, smart phone, etc. with
benefits such as high performance, lower cost, and lower power consumption.

 With its prevailing benefit in performance, cost and low power consumption,
IIT GmbH was suggested as a candidate for funding by the German federal government"Technologie Beteiligungsgesellschaft
(technology participation corporation,"tbg",www.tbgbonn.de),and was subsequently funded in spite of a very harsh
investment climate in year 2002. Decisive factors in the German government funding decision were the product's market relevance,
prevailing strength in performance, cost and low power and the founder's talent in engineering as well as his entrepreneurship.
For accelerating the commercialization of its technology and reducing the R&D and reducing the operating cost,
the Taiwan ImagingTek Corporation is established in November 2003 and settled in ITRI, a government sponsored research institute.
ImagingTek has won the Taiwan government (MOEA) SBIR supplementary fund. Support from German and Taiwan governments is very
helpful and very appreciated.
In 2 months after establishment, ImagingTek has successfully developed proof of concept
prototypes and is aggressively selling its technology to some world wide top consumer IC and system vendors. ImagingTek becomes
profitable 5 months after kicked off in ITRI.
One of the key factors to ImagingTek's success will be the team's
proven ability to combine the strong points of engineering approaches and business cultures of the three continents to one
efficient and result oriented working entity dedicated to customer satisfaction.
 To develop and provide the world wide
best IPs for the image, video and audio related multimedia applications.

 Based on its innovative compression algorithms (extensively patent pending),
ImagingTek offers high performance, low bit rate and low power consumption video and audio IPs
Advantages of ImagingTek
IPs include
Performance
¡· 3X-10X higher performance in MPEG/H.26x video encoding (MPEG 1, 2
or 4)
¡· 2X-10X higher performance in JPEG still image encoding
¡· 2X-4X higher performance
in MPEG4 audio (AAC) encoding
Higher compression speed means high frame rate and high image/video/audio quality

Congratulations!!
Sunplus has won "Best Innovative Product" &
"Best Research" awards with our Lossless
Compression IP!!(which chip is
implemented
in Olivetti(Top Europe MFP provider) MFP)

Power
consumption
¡· > 15X power reduction in MPEG/H.26x video encoding (MPEG 1, 2 or 4)
¡·
> 8X power reduction in JPEG still image encoding
¡· > 4X power reduction in MPEG4 audio (AAC) encoding
Low power consumption means longer battery life in mobile devices and potential performance enhancement
Bit
rate
¡·1.5X-4X higher compression rate in MPEG/H.26x video encoding (MPEG 1, 2 or 4)
¡·1.5X-4X
higher compression rate in JPEG still image encoding
¡·1.2X-2X higher compression rate in MPEG4 audio (AAC)
encoding
Lower bit rate (high compression rate) means less data to be stored and to be transmit which means the
cost reduction of storage devices and transmission time
Lossless Image Compression
¡·2X-8X compression
rate
¡·1/2-1/60 gate, IO pins, buffer, power compared with competitors
Quality
No sacrifice
while achieving the above benefits
