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) with immersive media and content
across all the “screens of your life”.
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 have come together to deliver
the essential technologies and services that are designed to power compelling
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.
The Java platform is the global standard that powers
billions of devices – from desktop browsers and computers (91 percent) to
mobile phones (more than two billion) and Blu-ray Disc players (13 million),
TVs (nine million) and other connected consumer products. Through continual
innovation, On2 satisfies the toughest quality, bandwidth, and power
requirements for video. The company's TrueMotion video codecs dominate the
video market, with more than two billion deployments on desktops worldwide and
more than 200+ million in mobile. The combination of On2 TrueMotion video with
the Java platform and JavaFX rich client technology brings a new
dimension to the breadth of high fidelity media applications and
devices.
