As consumers
gradually adopt the "any media, any time, any device" concept,
the company is making confident strides in providing solutions that
improve the attractiveness and usability of web-based media services
across non-PC platforms. Significant advances in speed of rendering
and interactivity have been achieved through Oregan's enhancements
to its TV browser and the overall architecture of its media streaming
solution.
Oregan
Networks is known for its Oregan Media Browser - the media player
technology for connected consumer electronics, based on industry standards
for media delivery across operating systems, network architectures
and media formats. These include W3C web graphics and interactivity
standards, UPnP AV media device discovery and IETF ratified mechanisms
for streaming and playback of media in a multitude of encoding formats.
The company is uniquely positioned to provide home and mobile entertainment
solutions that will enhance the perception of the service quality
and ensure consistent interactivity across platforms, enabling the
service operator's transition path to multi-platform services and
extension of their internet presence beyond the PC. The aim of the
company is to make the internet and multimedia ubiquitous and the
user interaction seamless, eliminating tedious connectivity delays
and download times, generally associated with internet, but unacceptable
in the living room or mobile entertainment environment.
Milya Timergaleyeva,
Oregan's VP of Marketing said, "Macromedia Flash content is one
of the most ubiquitous web formats. However, today most of it is viewed
on PCs. As part of our end-user-centric approach to media delivery
solutions, Oregan aims to continuously develop support for Macromedia's
latest rich media formats, thus enabling operators to deploy dynamic
and rich web services."
