| Mentor Graphics to Launch Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack for Nucleus OS Mentor Graphics has announced the launch of the Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack for Nucleus OS, a new paradigm for manufacturers of mass market consumer electronic devices to bring advanced audio and video capabilities to their products. Inflexion Platform UI, launched in December 2006, enables the agile creation and customization of visually compelling, easy to use interfaces for consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal media players and set-top boxes. Completely new designs can be realized without modification to a device's software stack. Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack extends this capability, enabling rich audio and video content to be incorporated easily throughout a device's interface, without the need for programming or scripting. Example applications include: previews for premium downloadable content (e.g. music videos); animated advertisements; 'live' application icons; embedded context-sensitive audio/video help content; and full-screen streaming video playback. To ensure maximum interoperability, Inflexion Platform Multimedia Feature Pack implements the new OpenMAX industry standard API. This means that any OpenMAX-compliant multimedia component - including audio and video codecs - can be integrated with minimal effort, including those which take advantage of accelerated graphics hardware. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
