Oregan Networks unveil Flash rendering engine for mobiles
April 12, 2006
Oregan Networks, a developer of Internet Protocol (IP) network media client technology, has announced imminent availability of its latest technology building block enabling rendering of Macromedia Flash 7.0 content on non-PC entertainment devices.
The solution is the next generation offering of Oregan's clean-room Flash content player, developed in response to the increasing demand for the feature on gaming consoles, 3G and WiFi-enabled mobile handsets, set top boxes and consumer electronics, powered by Linux, WinCE and other embedded operating systems. Oregan's Flash rendering engine is currently powering Sony's PlayStation 2 walled garden portal in EMEA and has also been ported and optimised for the Sony PSP.
Oregan's latest available Flash renderer is an integral part of the Oregan TV Browser, which in its entirety is a web standards-based User Interface engine that is licensed to device manufacturers and service operators as an IPTV or web video service building block.

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.
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.''
