Key Features

Based on Zoran's advanced Quatro architecture, the Quatro

4050 provides OEMs with a flexible and cost-effective platform

for implementing ultra-low-cost AIO and photo printer

controllers. Building upon Zoran's Quatro 4100 and 4110

solutions, the 4050 provides a new solution that integrates a

scanner analog front-end (AFE), and enables the lowest

possible cost by focusing on a basic feature-set tailored for the

new generation of ultra-low-cost AIOs and photo printers. With

fully-programmable image processing based on the Quatro DSP,

the Quatro 4050 is ideal for PictBridge-capable AIOs, inkjet

photo printers and dye-sub photo printers.

Entry-Level Print Appliances

The entry-level segments within the market for print appliances AIOs

and direct-connect photo printers are growing dramatically and

extending into ever lower price-points. Driving this growth are lower

prices, innovative features, and the proliferation of image-rich content

from digital cameras, scanned documents, and the Web. The 4050 is

designed to address the aggressive cost requirements of these

segments. Through its full programmability, the 4050 allows OEMs to

rapidly bring products cost-optimized AIOs and photo-printers with

PictBridge photo printing to market. The sophisticated image

processing functions in the 4050 enable products that feature superb

quality, performance and usability within a simple and cost-effective

system design.

Programmable Platform

The 4050 is a highly integrated SOC solution for appliance printers

that OEMs can program to implement the features and associated

image processing required across a range of products. Because it is

programmable, the 4050 offers OEMS both significant time-to-market

advantages and differentiation over conventional ASIC solutions.

Quatro Architecture

The 4050 is based on a scalable, extensible platform for a series of

application-specific SOC solutions.

At the heart of the architecture are four key elements:

• ARM 32-bit RISC CPU core

• Quatro 4-datapath SIMD DSP core

• Industry-standard internal bus

• Easy-to-use C-based programming environment
