"Sun Selects On2 TrueMotion Video Codecs for JavaFX RIA Platform
Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in Components, IDE on Wednesday, May 7, 2008
Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA), announced it has entered into a multi-year agreement with On2 Technologies (AMEX: ONT) to use On2's TrueMotion® video codecs for Sun's JavaFX, a family of products for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) with immersive media and content. Consumers are demanding a rich video experience across multiple screens. Sun and On2 have come together to deliver the essential technologies and services that will power the next generation of consumer experiences. With JavaFX rich client technology, the same high resolution video and media applications run across browsers, desktops, mobile and embedded devices. The first availability of On2 video codec for JavaFX products will be in the fall of 2008.
"The JavaFX runtime is designed from the ground up to support 'high fidelity' media, empowering content authors to deliver media-rich content and applications across all the 'screens of your life.' On2 shares Sun's vision of driving video convergence across desktops and mobile devices and we look forward to working with On2 to deliver this capability as part of the Java family of products," said Rich Green, executive vice president, Software at Sun.
"On2 is recognized as a world leader in video compression technologies. Our codecs deliver the highest quality with less data, and enable compelling video in products and services, from mobile devices to web, VoIP, gaming, broadcast and more. Because of the pervasiveness of Java technology, we are pleased that Sun will be including TrueMotion as the video codec of choice to key partners across the digital media ecosystem," said Bill Joll, President and CEO of On2 technologies.
On2 TrueMotion compression schemes are built to deliver the highest video quality within any given data bandwidth. Moreover, On2 video is designed for simple decode enabling optimal playback at higher resolutions on systems with less powerful processors. This also gives developers the overhead they need to integrate more exciting user interfaces and functionality in their applications.
The Java platform is the global standard that powers billions of devices - from desktop browsers and computers (800,000) to mobile phones (more than two billion) and Blu-ray Disc players (13 million), TVs (nine million) and other connected consumer products. Through continual innovation, On2 satisfies the toughest quality, bandwidth, and power requirements for video. The company's TrueMotion video codecs, along with it's implementations of standards-based codecs, including (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, VC-1) dominate the video market, with more than two billion deployments on desktops worldwide and more than 200+ million in mobile. The combination of On2 video with the Java platform and JavaFX rich client technology brings a whole new dimension to the immense breadth of high fidelity media applications and devices."

GLENVIEW, Ill. -- Comcast, with the help of Plasma high-definition television manufacturer Panasonic, today kicked off its tru2way cable television service in the Chicago area, starting at the massive ABT appliance store here. Designed to simplify the living room by eliminating set-top boxes and additional remote controls, the service will be available first in the Chicago and Denver metro areas and to all Comcast markets by April 2009.
The tru2way technology enables an equipped TV set to be connected to a cable service without a set-top box. The technology is a Java-based middleware layer serving as a single platform on which software companies and developers can create innovative applications and services. The services are then added to the TV set via a simple software upgrade. Creative implementations of the bundle – caller ID on the TV, American Idol-inspired voting directly on the TV set and scheduling DVR recordings from the PC – are all potential new apps, according to Comcast senior vice president of product development Mark Hess. These services are all available today from many IPTV providers, namely AT&T, but – like over IPTV – the applications can potentially be improved and added to on a daily basis.
“Television will always have software downloads for new applications, so that the applications can change daily,” said Dr. Paul Liao, chief technology officer at Panasonic. “As Panasonic, we are focused on customer needs. Customers don’t like to have the set-top box and the monthly fee for it. They like the simplicity. Most of the calls we field at our call center, which is a cost to us, are about setup and making the service work.”
With tru2way, the only real installation is connecting the cable service’s coaxial cable to the TV set and installation of a conditional access card that verifies the user as a paid subscriber.
Hess agreed simplicity is key, adding that people love Comcast services but are not enamored with having the extra STB in the home, especially as they wall-mount HDTVs. As such, he expects tru2way to have a tremendous impact. The service can be deployed in any TV set, or via an STB where the TV is not tru2way-ready, and will be sold in Comcast’s existing retail outlets. Panasonic, LG, Samsung and Sony have all committed to putting tru2way in their TV sets in time for the holiday season.

<EVIL GRIN>
under dog baby...

of the week...............>
here's my prediction... ok, I blew the Cubs, but if you do the math, and I have never been accused of 'doing math',,,. just enough to draw up meds, etc in a heartbeat...100 year curse is now OVER.. so they have a real chance, NEXT YEAR, for real.
BUT>>I predict a Republican landslide in the House, Senate, and White House.
And if not... then, replay Will Robinson warning, warning!!!!
And, start reading the Bible, the one book I cannot even type the name....and pray.
LOL
kudos F6, you're not as evil as they said

my house and portfolio are in order AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
Warning..... Will Robinson,
except this is the real deal, all the signs were here for weeks, actually for years, but no one listened.
No one.
Condolences to the Biden family, I understand his mother in law passed away.
Will Hillary Clinton step in now?
<VBG>

sweet jamaicablue mountain, from jamaica mon.... LOL
but only when am I trading good.. so, um, this is a blend I'm enjoying now, lol
Still excellent with a dollop of whipped cream.
:)
Right I was talking of the last bubble.. during BUBBA , the tech bubble.
Ah, yes you meant THIS bubble, the real estate one.. right, actually I have a close relative who took a cold call last summer from their broker, to BUY fannie, I'm guessing if you pull up a chart for argument sake..let's say they bought @ $10/share (fixed income, growth type vehicle, sounded great, US backed security.. what's wrong with this picture,.. um, what is fannie worth today? pennies? I don't play financials, airlines, etc....just bios, and now back into techs,,and guess what those funds are green since I jumped back into the market a few weeks ago.
The ONLY good thing about Uncle Sam holding most of the defaulted mortgages is that foreign interest can not buy US property.. just the stock,, like an etf, right?
Am i right?
mmmmm,,......java, muy delicioso!
Nope....
lol
I'm cashed out, I'll be fine, I can sleep at night, except I tend to work at night, less distractions.
I feel great, you did cash out some money like Pelosi did late last week right?
I mean you think the banks will open,.. isn't the chinese /european market sorta crashing...
uh huh, want some coffee?
.....that caused the middle class to bail out the upper 1-2% of society, Wall Street, Hollywood, government/lobbyists/foreign interest.
I mean really how many millions does one person need to live within their means. Why should I help financially support peeps who either refuse to work, or who work to the tune of a gazillion dollars a year, plus a bonus (this last financial package, just signed)... so that states would not default, and small biz could do their payroll.....
so, what is your point.
I bet while all the new money (middle class WORKING peeps hoping to ride the WAVE) bought into the bubble, while all of wall street, hollywood, and govt officials were... selling?
yeah, thought so.
Cream or sugar, F6?
aight, let's start with Congressional term limits.
2 outta 3 aint bad, but why should the golden egg, oops, checkbook not be supervised, I am talking government federally funded programs, like fannie and freddie, and most of the welfare agencies/$$$/job security for the Democratic party,,, back in the day (FDR).
hmmmm?
If the executive and judicial branch have term limits, why not legislative (CONGRESS)...this one having LOWER approval than GWB.
What about SEC??? Who missed that whole Titanic of a government agency?
FDIC?
anybody trust the government anymore?
making java.... brb
What point, exactly, F6?
I'm all eyes.
Government intervention in the little Depression of 1929 may have caused it to last longer than necessary, hmmm, sit down, maybe Hoover was right!!!!!
Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
exploding liberal heads, but this isn't what FDR told me..... LOL

Why does Obama support and encourage Acorn?
He has yet to answer me in my email.
Funny, for all the emails he receives, his camp returns mine, asap.
But no real answer yet.
if you don’t work you die. Repeat after me: fire will certainly burn.
If you don't work you don't pay taxes, you suck off the government's payroll.
And yes, if there is smoke, there is fire...and yes fire will burn, like in the fires of hell?
yup.
We do agree on something F6
How do you even define someone like Oprah Winfrey, who basically threw all the white middle class women UNDER the bus for B. HUSSEIN Obama, thus choosing race OVER gender.
And in the same breath will not use her tv show/magazine/online mag/empire as a platform for politics... huh??????????
Huh? Does she think we still drink her brand of kool aid?
The answer Ms. O.W. is NO!
Thanks O, I meant Oprah, oops Obama...
thanks a bunch, all that work for nothing!!!!!!
Excuse me?
Please define, radical politicall and religious extremist?
You mean Obama's acorns?
I blame it on, Bubba Clinton, then Carter.

History DOES repeat itself.

Who had to clean out the White House after Bill played with cigars and interns?
Give me a huge break... mark this post, time will tell, GWB is taking the fall for all you liberal morons.....has US soil been attacked SINCE Bill Clinton fell asleep at the wheel?

Only problem, BNB, is B.Hussein Obama, could not even pronounce the soldier's name correctly.
That is pathetic.
Dallas cowgirls please.
No darts this week, lol
Very true, tenac, and sad....
Happens a lot these days.
A newborn baby was abandoned in a pile of trash in a city alley. The mother had obviously left it there to die. The infant was near death when someone heard its faint cry and summoned medical help. The child survived, but not until it had received the attention and nourishment it needed.
