PC-grade sophistication and high-speed rendering on embedded devices

IPCOA

DMP offers the “DMP MAESTRO technology”,an advanced rendering extension that imple-ments various modeled CG algorithms as hardware. DMP MAESTRO technology not only allows for beautiful graphics and reduced content size and memory bandwidth, but also for reduced power consumption at the system level.

Tools for efficient content creation

pica200

DMP provides PICA emulators for PC environments, “ShaderBox®” which is an authoring support tool for DMP extensions, and content execution environments (engines). All these tools support the industry standard COLLADA specification, allowing for seamless workflow from major CG tools as well as efficient and low-cost production of contents that make full use of DMP extensions.
