Chips&Media develops and licenses video codec intellectual property (IP), the reusable design blocks that give semiconductor chips the ability to compress, decompress, and process high-quality video.
Chip designers building processors for smartphones, digital televisions, automotive infotainment systems, and AI accelerators license this IP rather than developing the underlying video technology themselves. Listed on KOSDAQ, Korea's tech-focused stock exchange, the company earns revenue through upfront licensing fees, ongoing royalties each time a customer ships a chip using its IP, and maintenance services.
