Fluffy Spider Technologies and 3ivx Technologies Announce Research, Development and Marketing Alliance
Fluffy Spider Technologies (FST), a world-leading provider of software development platforms for advanced Graphical User Interfaces in embedded devices, and 3ivx Technologies (3ivx), specialists in MPEG-4 video and audio software, today announce a joint research, development and marketing alliance.
This benefits OEMs and end-users of consumer, mobile, commercial and industrial devices.
FancyPantsTM is the award-winning platform, created by FST, for embedded application development. It enables OEMs to quickly and easily develop innovative and feature-rich devices with advanced Graphical User Interface capabilities and high-performance Multi-Media, while also reducing hardware resource requirements and development costs.
FST and 3ivx are integrating the 3ivx MPEG-4 software in the FancyPantsTM platform. This will allow developers of products such as smart phones, TV set top boxes, point-of-service terminals, in-car systems and building automation devices to leverage the power of state-of-the-art MPEG-4 compression as part of the FancyPantsTM platform. The alliance also offers OEMs the option of outsourcing the complete development lifecycle of these next generation products.
We look forward to the ongoing collaborative delivery of products that enable OEMs to further differentiate themselves and offer better end-user service with highly innovative devices, said Robi Karp, CEO, Fluffy Spider Technologies.
"FancyPantsTM offers an unparalleled user experience, enabling OEMs to create embedded applications with a breathtaking look and feel. FancyPantsTM is easily integrated into embedded operating systems and micro-kernels and meets the rigorous demands required in embedded environments, said Mr Karp.
FancyPantsTM plug-in architecture readily delivers the benefits of 3ivx MPEG-4, a high quality MPEG-4 codec that allows content creators to effectively provide audio and video at all levels of the video spectrum from High Definition Television (HDTV) down to video for mobile phones and embedded devices. The strengths of the 3ivx MPEG-4 software lies in its unique combination of image quality, performance, interoperability and portability, said Jan Devos, Managing Director, 3ivx Technologies.
