ZTE Blade V9 Features FotoNation's Portrait Enhancement and DTS Sound
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Xperi
Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) ("Xperi"), is proud to announce the first
device to feature technology solutions from its wholly owned
subsidiaries, FotoNation,
a global leader in computational imaging, computer vision and facial
analytics solutions, and DTS,
a global leader in advanced audio solutions. ZTE's just-announced
smartphone, the ZTE Blade V9, will include seventh-generation portrait
enhancement and panorama technologies from FotoNation and DTS®
Sound, an audio post-processing solution.
Eighty percent of all pictures taken today contain at least one face,
and one of the biggest challenges is to deliver amazing portraits that
make the subject look their natural best without the need for
complicated editing. FotoNation's portrait enhancement technology
guarantees a consistent look between live previews and captured images,
and with several dedicated features, this solution combines the best
imaging technologies available, from smoothing skin while retaining its
natural texture to relighting effects to smart color correction and
image de-noising.
Additionally, with the DTS Sound solution, the ZTE Blade V9 users will
enjoy an expanded stereo image, sonic optimization for internal device
speakers and a virtual surround sound experience over headphones.
Additionally, DTS Sound restores the rich detail lost during the
compression process, provides bass enhancement and delivers level volume
across any type of content.
"Xperi is dedicated to enabling extraordinary experiences through
innovative solutions, and our partnership with ZTE to integrate DTS and
FotoNation solutions in the new Blade V9 is an exciting milestone for
us," said Geir Skaaden, executive vice president and chief products and
services officer at Xperi. "The next-generation imaging solutions from
FotoNation and advanced audio technology from DTS in the ZTE Blade V9
allow consumers to experience more through their favorite photos, music
and video content."
"We are excited to provide leading audio and camera capabilities to
consumers with the ZTE Blade V9, and we are delighted that it is the
first device to feature solutions from two Xperi companies, DTS and
FotoNation," said Jeff Yee, vice president of product marketing and
strategy at ZTE Mobile Devices. "The Blade V9's sound chamber is powered
by Smart PA and DTS technology to deliver a theater-like experience when
you are listening to your favorite song or watching a video.
Additionally, FotoNation's latest portrait enhancement solution enables
users to capture stunning, natural looking selfies and studio quality
images without the need for extensive editing."
The ZTE Blade V9 smartphone was announced at Mobile World Congress 2018
in Barcelona and will be available in Spain, Germany, Russia, Mexico and
China.
