NXP Software Brings Seamless Professional DJ-Style Mixing to Mobile Devices
BARCELONA, February 8 /PRNewswire/ --
- NXP Software's Unique LifeVibes(TM) MixDJ Helps Create a Party
Atmosphere Anytime and Anywhere
NXP Software is demonstrating its LifeVibes MixDJ software at the Mobile
World Congress 2008. MixDJ brings a new experience to mobile phones and
music players. With its automatic professional DJ-style mixing, it can help
create a party atmosphere anytime and anywhere, and device makers can offer
distinctive functionality designed to increase the appeal of music on mobile
phones and players. Moreover, thanks to NXP Software's experience in
optimized solutions for mobile multimedia, MixDJ targets most embedded
platforms.
This unique software addresses changing consumer habits as people
increasingly use mobile devices as their main audio player, whether via
built-in stereo speakers or linked to a separate speaker accessory. Instead
of simply playing songs consecutively with pauses between them, MixDJ
eliminates these gaps which people often find annoying. The resulting
continuous, seamless playback is perfect for creating a party atmosphere.
With MixDJ, a phone or MP3 can provide a non-stop beat that keeps people
moving.
MixDJ achieves this seamless effect by aligning the tempo and beat of the
current and upcoming songs and then fading between them, just as would a
professional live DJ. The software is easy to manage and once activated, the
whole experience is automatic. MixDJ can also help users create playlists
suitable for mixing, and created mixes can be saved and shared with friends.
MixDJ draws on NXP Software's deep know-how in mobile multimedia,
playback control and its portfolio of optimized building blocks for audio
enhancement. These strengths allow NXP Software to create innovative
solutions like MixDJ, and SportsDJ, adding distinctive capabilities to mobile
devices. Its SportsDJ was launched at 3GSM 2007, where the live action sports
demo proved a real crowd-puller.
"By enhancing listening and allowing people to always have their party
music with them, our LifeVibes MixDJ strengthens the mobile phone's position
as the primary music player," states Peter van de Berg, Marketing Director,
NXP Software. "LifeVibes MixDJ is a unique feature on portable music players
and music handsets, one that NXP Software is ideally placed to bring it to
the market."
