Display Info The physical internal display characteristics of the Motorola V550 are the following: Item Description Screen resolution 176w x 220h pixels Screen dimensions 29 x 39 mm viewing area Pixel pitch .17 mm pitch, square Color depth 16 bits...
This pre-loaded media will vary from region to region and from carrier to carrier. Motorola recommends keeping all media files as small as possible to ensure the consumer has the ability to download and use a variety of files to enhance the user experience.
Note: The maximum picture resolution is 640 x 480 (VGA). Any images with a higher resolution will not be displayed. Video Playback The Motorola V550 handset supports the following video formats: Type Description MPEG-4 The MPEG-4 format provides standardized technological elements that enable interactive multimedia (video/audio), interactive graphics, and digital television.
Wallpaper Support Wallpaper images are static images that are shown on both the idle screen and the main menu screen. Wallpaper images can be tiled or centered as selected by the user; centered is the default setting. The recommended format for wallpaper images is a static GIF (GIF87a) file. Other file types that can be used as wallpaper image are WBMP and EMS 5.0 bitmaps.
“Screensaver Support”. Theme Support The Motorola V550 supports themes. A theme is a wallpaper, a screensaver, and a ring tone combined into a data set that enables users to customize their experience on the handset. Theme components are grouped together and downloaded to the handset as a bundle.
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) Support The Motorola V550 handset supports use of the following animation settings: Type Description Small Color, 8 x 8 pixels (32 bytes = 256 bits) Large Color, 16 x 16 pixels (128 bytes = 1024 bits)

Sound This chapter describes the sound environment available in the Motorola V550. It includes information on sound formats and more. Use this chapter as a reference when creating sounds for your products. In general, file size is limited by available memory. The available memory for downloaded files will vary based on the media that is pre-loaded into the device.
Minimum Duration per note: 20ms Maximum Duration (NW dependent): 16-30 secs MIDI Key Mapping The Motorola V550 supports all 128 general MIDI instruments and the standard drum kit, but due to frequency limitations, not all MIDI notes are supported for all patches. Patch...

MIDI Audio Guidelines The following are suggested guidelines to maximize sound quality while reducing the overall file size of a MIDI Ring Tone file for use with the Motorola V550. Tip 1: Use MIDI’s running status feature In the MIDI standard, a key-on or a key-off event will use, at most, three bytes each.
8. Turn off the options below: • Sequence Number - MIDI sequence ids • Text - embedded text for any optional fields • Sequence / Track Name • Instrument Name • Lyric • Marker - for synchronization purposes • Cue Point •...
*Overall bit-rate cannot exceed 64 kbps. Any MP3s encoded higher than 64 kbps will not play on the device. Note: There is no stereo speaker support for the Motorola V550. Stereo ring tones will be played in mono. If the handset supports a stereo file and a stereo headset is attached, the file will be played in stereo.
MotoMixer The Motorola MotoMixer feature allows users to mix a repeating “base track” directly on the Motorola V550 using the MotoMixer application. The base track consists of four parts: three content-specified instruments and a drum. Four variations are provided for each part in the base track file.
MIDI piano-like instruments may be represented by a single piano sound – Acoustic Grand Piano may sound like Electric Piano 2). The Motorola V550 supports the full instrument set with very limited re-mapping. The General MIDI Percussion Map will be used for the drum part, so no instrument should be specified for the variations of the drum part.
Base tracks may use up to four different drum instruments from the General MIDI Percussion Map. For example, a base track may decide to use drum instruments 36, 40, 42, and 45 (Bass Drum 1, Electric Snare, Closed Hi Hat, and Low Tom). No additional drum instruments can be used.

Overall, the effect track should be used to add rhythmic, harmonic, or acoustical depth to the associated variation track.
• OMA-Download-DRMREL-v1_0-20030801-C • OMA-Download-DRMCF-v1_0-20030801-C Supported DRM Solutions Two DRM solutions are supported by Motorola handsets. The solutions are the following: • Forward Locking – Forward locking construct defined by the OMA DRM specification. Similar to NDIS implementation in MMS/EMS. •...
content included along with the rights object. A handset that supports Combined Delivery will support OMA forward locking. Download Forward Lock files will be downloaded within a DRM message. The download manager will recognize the DRM message of MIME type ‘application/ vnd.oma.drm.message’ as a valid file type.
for preview, the handset shall indicate to the content dispatcher that the media object is ‘forward locked’. • If the user selects to store the content from the preview: The media shall be stored in the appropriate file directory and shall be marked as ‘forward-locked’ using the NDIS bit.
The list is sorted by category and provides file type descriptions, as well as the MIME types used to download different media files. NOTE: The file and MIME types shown below are not supported by all Motorola handsets. Please refer to the handset’s media guide to determine what file types a particular handset supports.
