Streamaster architecture to revolutionize multimedia technology
Motorola has recently unveiled the Streamaster architecture as the official brand name for its open, extensible multimedia architecture aimed at revolutionizing video entertainment and video communications.
Defined by a Motorola-owned and developed operating environment, it supports interactive 3D graphics, Java, MPEG digital video, high-fidelity audio, Internet access, e-commerce and broadband networking in a single integrated unit.
Motorola will be developing a family of standard intelligent broadband access and intelligent Internet access products based on Streamaster architecture. The company had previously announced the Blackbird home media platform, the first Streamaster-compliant technology product.
The Streamaster architecture is based on a foundation of the Microware OS/9000 operating system running David 2.2 and Maui, an HTML engine based on Spyglass' Device Mosaic 3.0, pJAVA, Nuon Media Libraries for advanced graphics and media handling, and Motorola-developed network extensions. |
