On2 and Sun to Add Video Capabilities to Java
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Sun Microsystems announced it has entered into a multi-year agreement
with On2 Technologies to add comprehensive video capabilities, using
On2 Technologies TrueMotion video codecs, to Sun's JavaFX, a family of
products for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).
According to Sun, consumers are demanding a rich video experience
across multiple screens and this deal compliments the Java platform for
RIAs by adding On2 Technologies TrueMotion codecs. Sun and On2 stated
that they have come together to deliver the essential technologies and
services that are designed to power video applications. With JavaFX
rich client technology, the same high resolution video and media
applications can run across the billions of devices that use the Java
platform -- browsers, desktops, mobile and embedded devices. The first
availability of On2 video codec for JavaFX software products is
scheduled for the fall of 2008.
The JavaFX runtime environment 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 JavaFX 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 to key partners across the digital media ecosystem, said
Bill Joll, President and CEO of On2 technologies.
