FotoNation Lets You Send Large Photos, Music & Video from Camera Phones at PMA
February 13, 2007, Burlingame, CA -- FotoNation (www.fotonation.com), a world-leading embedded imaging and connectivity solutions company for the digital photography industry, announced today FotoNation MTP-IP for mobile phones, which allows users to transfer large photos, movies, and audio files from mobile phones at speeds of up to 10 times faster than Bluetooth. For example, with FotoNation MTP-IP for mobile phones, a 3 Megapixel mobile phone photo can be transferred to another mobile phone, a computer using Windows Vista, or other device at speeds of 0.3 seconds or less. Once started in MTP-IP mode, the phone will appear to the Windows Vista or XP desktop as a directly attached device, allowing the built in operating system software to access, transfer and/or synchronize its contents.
With mobile phone users increasingly sending and receiving larger and larger files for sharing photos, video and music, FotoNation MTP-IP for mobile phones is an essential component for the wireless transfer of personal media. FotoNation's MTP-IP responder implementation is available for WiFi enabled mobile phones, digital cameras, PDAs, GPS devices, storage devices, printers, and other peripherals. MTP-IP for mobile phones can be used with a large number of mobile phones, computer operating systems and platforms, supporting connections to multiple devices at the same time.
FotoNation will be demonstrating the MTP-IP for mobile phones technology at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) tradeshow, March 8-11, 2007 Booth #104 in Las Vegas. The technology will be shown using a Nokia N80 and N93 dual mode mobile phone with the standard Windows Vista operating system, with no need for additional drivers.
About MTP and PTP
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) manages content on portable devices with storage. It is based on Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), and can be implemented to be fully compatible with that protocol. FotoNation initiated and lead the development of the PTP (ISO 15740) standard, allowing devices to inter-operate using USB. FotoNation has also developed the PTP-IP protocol which has recently been standardized by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) and become the basis for MTP-IP.
