player was developed in response to an increasing demand for this feature on gaming consoles, 3G and WiFi-enabled mobile handsets, set-top boxes (STBs), and consumer electronics based on Windows CE, Linux, and other embedded operating systems. The Flash rendering engine is currently running in Sony's PlayStation 2 "walled garden portal" in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and has also been ported to the Sony PSP.
The Flash renderer is built into Oregan's TV Browser, also called the
Media Browser, a web standards-based user interface engine licensed to device manufacturers and service operators as an IPTV or web video service building block, according to the company.
Oregan lists the following key features for its implementation of the Macromedia Flash content player:
- Flash 7.0 content rendering
- ActionScript 2.0 support
- JavaScript to ActionScript control API
- Highly optimised integer-based code for maximum performance on embedded platforms
- Footprint -- 500 KB
"Macromedia Flash content is one of the most ubiquitous web formats. However, today most of it is viewed on PCs," noted Milya Timergaleyeva, Oregans VP of Marketing. "As part of our end-user-centric approach to media delivery solutions, Oregan aims to continuously develop support for Macromedias latest rich media formats, thus enabling operators to deploy dynamic and rich web services."
