SAN DIEGO and SHANGHAI, May 25 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --
Sorenson Media and VeriSilicon today announced that VeriSilicon has licensed the

cores and ASIC solutions that enable multimedia devices, including mobile handsets,
set-top box, HDTV and Blu-Ray players, to support increasingly higher levels of
multimedia capability, in particular audio, voice and video. The inclusion of the
Sorenson Spark codec will enable the company to expand its influence in the mobile
device design marketplace by enhancing the video components of its proprietary
libraries and chipsets, ultimately providing end mobile device users with access to
the deepest pool of online video content.
"We are delighted to partner with Sorenson Media to enhance the Internet video
