MIPS to demo the gaming and content sharing tech at CES 2012

MIPS said it is working with TransGaming Inc. to bring real-time, multi-screen gaming to Android digital home and mobile platforms. Separately, MIPS Technologies and PacketVideo are collaborating to deliver advanced multimedia sharing between consumer devices. Both solutions will be demonstrated during International CES.

"As the leader in processors for the digital home including DTVs and set-top boxes, with a growing presence in mobile, it is important to MIPS that we deliver the next-generation solutions that will enable our licensees to offer an advanced consumer experience. Today's consumer devices are "connected," but the next generation of devices will go beyond that to be fully integrated and interconnected. PacketVideo and TransGaming both supply innovative solutions that deliver on this vision," said Gideon Intrater, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies.

"Since MIPS processors are so prolific across the digital home, there is a huge synergy between our solutions. We were already working with multiple MIPS licensees to bring Twonky to their platforms, so it just made sense for us to work directly with the folks at MIPS. PacketVideo and MIPS share a vision of delivering a seamless content-centric experience to consumers. With MIPS, we can offer consumer-friendly content sharing between a wide range of devices," said Osama AlShaykh, chief technology officer, PacketVideo.

At CES, MIPS will demonstrate GameTree TV, a premier on-demand video game platform for Smart TV, on a MIPS-Based set-top box (STB) platform. The demonstration will include a multi-screen, multi-device interactive game leveraging the MIPS-Based STB platform running the GameTree TV platform and a MIPS-Based Android tablet acting as a secondary screen and game play interface.

"We are expanding our GameTree TV platform to include support for the breadth of MIPS-Based devices. GameTree TV delivers captivating on-demand gaming content directly to a set-top box, without the need for additional equipment. Since MIPS is the worldwide leader in set-top box processors, we are working closely with them to enable their numerous licensees to leverage our solution. The multi-screen experiences we are delivering represent the future of gaming, and enhance the living room social experience. MIPS licensees who leverage our solution are clearly at the front of the curve in delivering the consumer entertainment experience of the future," said Blake Lewin, president, TransGaming's Digital Home Division.
