Cypress's Turbo-MTP technology enables users to transfer a feature-length movie between a handheld and PC, in less than a minute - 10x faster than competing Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) implementations. MTP enables transfer of metadata such as song titles, images and Digital Rights Management (DRM) information. Natively supported in Windows Media Player (WMP), MTP enables direct, drag-and-drop synchronization between WMP and a handheld.
The Cypress West Bridge® Turbo-MTP enables a portable media device to achieve USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) multimedia transfer performance while gaining all features and benefits of MTP (Table 1). Turbo-MTP uses the standard USB and MTP protocols but customers can see instantly an up to 17x performance increase over non Turbo-MTP implementations. An application note on the Turbo-MTP module is available at www.cypress.com/go/westbridge. In November 2009, Cypress announced the new Turbo-MTP 2.0, increasing the sideloading performance even further (Table 2). Turbo-MTP 2.0 capabilities can be seen at www.cypress.com/go/tmtp2video.
