Now, SUNW is trying to leverage JAVA as far as they can, but its clear that they plan on making consumer goods some of them will require chips in CUBE's area, and they won't be making them in house(I don't think). Anyway I just wanted to let everyone know that if there is potential for CUBE in SUNW that the opportunity just got a lot bigger .
Mr. Fieb, windowing technology is a reality on real-time O/S and embedded systems. Visicom, for instance, is one of the companies targeting this market. visicom.com
Visicom Labratories' VigraSilver(TM) flagship product: visicom.com
highlights:
"Military requirements such as Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) have spurred requirements for real-time
monitoring and analysis of remotely-collected video/audio information. Aerospace and undersea telemetry applications are also
demanding that monitoring systems be able to handle, display and integrate more and varied types of data inputs, including audio
and video streams. Medical applications are making increased use of computerized analysis and decision support systems for
handling visual/audio data such as X-rays, CAT Scans and real-time patient monitoring information. Industrial applications
requiring computerized integration of video/audio information span a range including high-resolution video inspection systems,
process control applications, and security monitoring. High performance video/audio applications are also needed throughout the
communications industry to support such emerging trends as collaborative computing, the Internet/intranet usage of
"video-as-browsable-information", and for the centralized management of future consumer-oriented video-on-demand type services."
"Optional video capture daughter boards provide real-time video input. The product architecture also provides for optional
daughter cards to provide modularly integrated functions such as: frame grabbing; digitizing; image compression (JPEG); image
decompression (MPEG, JPEG, H.261); digital audio; displaying of still and live video in a window."
"We're only looking at the tip of the icerberg." -- Alex Balkanski
sure, Mr. Balkanski, but where is CUBE in all these when they can't even make money from the VCD market???? |
