on2 technologies

On2 Technologies, Inc. , a leader in video compression technologies, today announced the release of the Hantro 9100 software multi-decoder. Highly optimized for ARM9 and ARM11 processors, the decoder supports VP6, Sorenson Spark and H.264 in a single package thereby enabling handsets to offer high performance support for the video formats used in Adobe(R) Flash(R) Lite(TM) 3 and Flash(R) Player 9 / Moviestar. Available off-the-shelf, the Hantro 9100 multi-decoder provides manufacturers and service providers with an immediate and cost effective solution to significantly enhance the Flash video experience in mobile phones and other handheld devices.

As a result of the optimizations, the Hantro 9100 multi-decoder improves performance by as much as 100% over the reference codec designs, reducing the power required for video playback, saving battery-life and allowing processor resources to be available for developers to deliver the video experience consumers expect.

“Our Hantro 9100 software multi-decoder overcomes the challenges faced by handset manufacturers to quickly deliver the playback performance needed to make Flash video as compelling on handsets as it is on desktops.” said Bill Joll, President and CEO of On2 Technologies. “Video quality on devices is extremely dependent on optimizations for different processors, and On2 is addressing this across all relevant mobile video formats for the first time.”

Adobe brings the power of AVM2 (ActionScript 3.0/ECMAScript 4) to mobile devices “likely to be Flash lite 4”

flash lite 4

Great news!! coming from Adobe for contributing a new virtual machine to the open source Mozilla Tamarin project. This new VM – internally called QVM – known to the outside world as Tamarin-Tracing essentially brings the power of AVM2 (ActionScript 3.0/ECMAScript 4) to mobile devices.
So power your imagination to see this as a first step into bringing AS3 Flash content and eventually Flex/MXML to mobile and devices. i must say that its exciting times ahead.

The QVM will likely be what executes Flash Lite 4, the next generation of the Flash mobile spec, allowing full AS3 compliance. In theory, this will enable Flex users to author for devices as well and open up mobile development to an even larger base of Flash developers.

Parts of QVM “tamarin-tracing” are written in the Forth programming language because you are create really efficient VMs in 50K of memory runable on just about any device available today. QVM makes AS3 bytecode execute on a majority of devices that consumers already own and is a key part of the future Flash Player and AIR strategies. The open sourcing of QVM will accelerate our device strategy and allow EcmaScript to scale up and down independent of system resources.

Exciting times ahead 🙂
