Apple Announces QuickTime 6.3 with Support for 3GPP
June 3, 2003
Apple announced QuickTime 6.3, the industry's first mainstream solution
to support the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard and
to deliver a foundation for the creation, delivery and playback of rich
multimedia content over wireless networks. Building on the success of
QuickTime 6, version 6.3 enables users to share high-quality video, audio
and text on a new generation of wireless devices including cell phones
and PDAs. QuickTime 6.3 delivers extensive support for the 3GPP standard,
including Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) and Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) audio,
MPEG-4 and H.263 video, 3G Text (TX3G) and native .3gp file format support.
"QuickTime's support of open standards like MPEG-4 and 3GPP now make
it the best technology for creating and deploying content in the wireless
world," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide
Product Marketing. "QuickTime 6.3 delivers the first 3GPP content creation
and playback software and extends our industry leading support of open
standards beyond the desktop into the mobile market."
"NTT DoCoMo's FOMA is the standards-based 3G service which allows users
to enjoy "i-motion" video clip distribution and "i-motion mail" video
clip email service," said Takeshi Natsuno, Managing Director of NTT DoCoMo's
i-mode Planning Department. "We are thrilled that QuickTime 6.3 has made
standards-based content creation and desktop playback a reality for NTT
DoCoMo subscribers that can now share personal movies captured on their
phones with friends and family on Mac and PCs."
"Nokia welcomes the release of QuickTime 6.3, featuring support for 3GPP
codecs and formats," said Janne Juhola, senior technology manager, Multimedia
Technologies, Nokia. "Our company is strongly committed to the creation
of an ecosystem in which open standards ensure interoperability across
a wide range of device categories, networks, services and applications.
Nokia believes the inclusion of 3GPP support in QuickTime creates a wealth
of exciting new opportunities for both desktop and mobile phone users."
Extending the reach of multimedia to a new generation of wireless devices,
QuickTime 6.3 support for 3GPP delivers high-quality video, audio and
text for use in end-to-end, standards-based content delivery solutions.
The high-performance MPEG-4 video codec and the time-tested H.263 video
codec both provide excellent results at low data rates. The modern AAC
audio codec delivers exceptional quality music at a broad range of data
rates while AMR provides narrowband audio encoding designed specifically
for speech. 3G Text support in QuickTime 6.3 is time-based for accurate
synchronization of titling and captioning with audio and video tracks.
