Tality Licenses Digital Set Top Box IP to TechsanAccelerates Development of Windows®, Linux® and VxWorks® Systems For Interactive Home Media Applications San Jose, CA. - May 20, 2002 - Tality Corporation today announced it has licensed its Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) intellectual property (IP) portfolio for digital set-top boxes to Techsan Electronics Company Ltd. The comprehensive IP portfolio significantly reduces the time to develop and bring to market next generation MHP set-top boxes using the IBM PowerPC®-based STB04xxx chipset. Tality provides set top box developers an MHP 1.0.2 compliant implementation augmented by a comprehensive media application library. The base implementation includes a complete Software Development Kit (SDK), a Porting Kit (PK) and an extensive set of sample MHP applications, including Enhanced Programming Guide (EPG), Email and personal video recorder (PVR). The Java™ Media Framework (JMF) component-based Porting Kit allows for fast migration of the MHP implementation from the reference designs to actual production hardware. The SDK enables the development of applications on Windows, Linux and VxWorks-based development systems and on set-top boxes running Linux or VxWorks. Tality has also integrated web browsers, email clients, games and 3rd party MHP applications into its MHP stack. Tality's MHP-based IP has been paired with Skelmir's CEE-J™ virtual machine technology, which is easily ported and available for a wide array of processors and operating systems. Skelmir's solution is a fast, proven and compact virtual machine technology for embedded devices with advanced graphical capabilities ideal for Digital TV display. Tality's MHP Middleware has been ported to IBM's STB04xxx Evaluation Kit with MontaVista™ Linux® embedded Linux operating system. "Techsan chose the Tality MHP and Skelmir Virtual Machine implementation because it offered the best available solution for an MHP compliant Set Top Box," said Simon Roh, Director of Techsan. "The process of integrating the stacks with Techsan's software, MontaVista's Linux software and IBM PPC-based hardware is proving to be remarkably smooth and will culminate in a fast, feature-rich and cost-effective platform."
