Licenses cinematic-visualization technology for content creation, delivery, and display processing. After selling its Shanghai semiconductor subsidiary, the business is organized around a global technology-licensing model.
Licenses cinematic-visualization technology for content creation, delivery, and display processing. Its earlier business combined display-oriented semiconductors and software, with later mobile visual processors and the TrueCut Motion platform part of its evolution. Early products targeted visual display of broadband content across electronic devices. The company went public in 2000.
The January 2026 sale of the Shanghai semiconductor subsidiary marked an exit from semiconductor hardware. The stated go-forward model is global technology licensing, with resources restructured around that business. Under that model, the licensing focus covers content creation, delivery, and display processing.
