Khronos Group Completes OpenML 1.0 Specification Open, Cross-Platform Environment Makes Creation of Dynamic Media Content Faster and Easier; Additional Initiative Will Define Small Footprint Graphics And Media APIs for Embedded Devices & Appliances LAS VEGAS, National Association of Broadcasters Convention, April 24 /PRNewswire Interactive News Release/ -- The Khronos Group, a consortium of digital media and graphics industry leaders consisting of 3Dlabs, ATI, Discreet, Evans & Sutherland, Intel, NVIDIA, SGI and Sun Microsystems Inc., today announced the on-time delivery of the OpenML(TM) 1.0 specification, as originally promised at NAB 2000. OpenML, a software environment that is complementary to the peer OpenGL(R) API, enables digital content authoring application developers to easily integrate video, audio and graphics capabilities into their application suites, and makes these applications portable over multiple operating systems, CPU architectures and add-in hardware devices. ... The OpenML 1.0 specification is complete and entering a final review, with public availability expected by mid-year. The specification can then be used, royalty free, by any adopting company that desires to integrate OpenML functionality into hardware or software products. Commercial implementations of OpenML 1.0 are expected on IRIX(R), Linux, and Microsoft Windows(R) platforms and the Solaris(TM) Operating Environment, with shipments starting later this year. Also announced today was the creation of a new Khronos Group initiative to standardize subsets of both OpenML and OpenGL to create small-footprint APIs to bring dynamic media capabilities to a wide variety of appliances and embedded devices. Khronos will focus on producing API profiles to meet the requirements of a range of market segments such as safety-critical automotive and avionics displays, handheld and line-powered appliances and rich-media devices such as advanced digital TVs, set top boxes and game consoles... newsalert.com [NOTE: OpenML is a trademark of SGI.]
