RoyalTek and VisualOn extend the role of the Personal Navigation Device enabling users to watch Mobile TV and use their GPS device as a Personal Media Player


Campbell, CA and Taipei, Taiwan – March, 2007


RoyalTek Corporation and VisualOn, Inc. today announced that they will be working together to expand the functionality of RoyalTek’s RNS-3200 series PND. VisualOn’s multimedia software can transform RoyalTek’s RNS-3200 series PND into a multi-purpose device, a Navigation Device, a media player and a mobile TV terminal.


“RoyalTek has designed a very powerful platform that meets the consumers personal navigation needs, and also has enough performance to bring the consumer high quality mobile multimedia.” said Yang Cai, CEO of VisualOn. “We are excited to be working with an innovative company like RoyalTek that understands how multimedia capabilities and technology can provide tremendous additional value to their customers.”


RoyalTek’s RNS-3200 series PND can play back full screen video/audio content at 30 frames per second. RoyalTek Personal Navigation Device users can now enjoy watching full length movies, their favorite television shows, or video on demand, and still have plenty of battery life to navigate themselves safely to their final destination.


“Historically, high quality mobile multimedia was considered impossible without the addition of costly dedicated hardware. Working closely with VisualOn, we have proven it is possible to play very high quality audio and video on GPS devices with a software solution”, said Jin Su, President of RoyalTek. We decided to work with VisualOn because they have the best performance and a complete multimedia solution including, a media player, decoding, encoding, streaming, and mobile TV support. VisualOn shares our view on the potential for RoyalTek to support advanced applications such as video conferencing, audio and video decoding and encoding, and other applications that have not been historically linked to personal navigation devices.”

VisualOn’s Media Player supports popular audio and video formats such as H.264, MPEG4, H.263, WMV, AAC, MP3, AMR, AMR WB and WMA. VisualOn’s multimedia technology can transform many of today’s handsets into high-quality portable media players, ideal for enjoying full action movies, TV shows, music videos, sports, and news highlights on the go.
