Apple expands 3GPP support with QuickTime 6.5
December 21, 2003
Apple announced QuickTime 6.5, the industry’s first mainstream media
architecture for the creation and playback of rich multimedia content
for both CDMA 2000 and GSM wireless networks. Expanding its support for
mobile multimedia standards to include both 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) and 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2), QuickTime
6.5 enables users to share high-quality video, audio and text across the
two predominant wireless networking technologies worldwide. QuickTime
6.5 will add to the existing popularity of QuickTime 6, which has already
had over 175 million downloads in less than 18 months since its release.
QuickTime 6.5 delivers extensive support for the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards,
including Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) and Qualcomm
Code Excited Linear Predictive (QCELP) audio codecs, MPEG-4 and H.263
video codecs, 3G Timed Text, native .3gp and .3g2 file formats as well
as support for Movie Fragments, which provide mobile operators and content
providers with the advantages of real-time streaming within their existing
web infrastructure.
“QuickTime 6, with MPEG video and AAC audio, is by far the most popular
version of QuickTime ever distributed, with over 175 million copies downloaded
and counting,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of
Worldwide Product Marketing. “The new QuickTime 6.5 adds enhanced support
for 3GPP and 3GPP2 mobile networks bringing state-of-the-art audio and
video content to the latest wireless services.”
“Over 6.5 million KDDI and Okinawa Cellular customers can now use QuickTime
6.5 exclusively to create and play back ‘EZmovie’ content on their desktops
taking advantage of both our popular AMC format and the 3GPP2 standard,”
said Makoto Takahashi, vice president and general manager of KDDI’s Content
Business Planning Department, Solution Business Sector. “We also recommend
QuickTime 6.5 as a preferred tool for professional content creation for
our 3G ‘CDMA 1x WIN’ and ‘CDMA 1x’ video streaming and video download
service.”
QuickTime is Apple’s industry-leading, standards-based software for developing,
producing and delivering high-quality audio and video over IP, wireless
and broadband networks. As the platform of choice for content creators
worldwide, QuickTime delivers the full media experience for thousands
of unique software titles and enhanced music CDs. QuickTime was chosen
by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the base
file format for MPEG-4 and is at the core of the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards.
