Conexant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNXT), Newport Beach, Calif., has announced that its Raptor(TM) II advanced digital camera processor has been selected by Polaroid Corp. (NYSE:PRD) for its new Polaroid PhotoMax PDC 2300Z digital camera.

The 2300Z is a 2.3 megapixel digital camera which features a 2.3X optical zoom lens and 2X digital zoom capability. At 10 times faster than general-purpose digital signal processors (DSPs), the Raptor II is a second-generation digital image-processing chip that features an "instant-on" operating environment and provides throughput rates of up to 3.3 megapixels per second.

"Polaroid is committed to providing customers with exciting consumer digital products that are a terrific value," said Craig Armstrong, director of Worldwide Consumer Electronics at Polaroid. "Conexant's Raptor II architecture lets us offer our customers the latest technology in a well-featured camera at an attractive price."

The Raptor II chip was developed by digital image processing pioneer Sierra Imaging, which Conexant acquired in May 2000.

The highly scalable and programmable Raptor II device incorporates unprecedented processing speed and flexibility, supports multiple storage media and display types, and works with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and charge coupling device (CCD) sensors as large as 16 million pixels.
