Intel Media for Java*
High performance Java classes
enabling rich, interactive media on and
off the Web for Intel processor-based PCs
Attention Software Developers: Intel media for Java coming soon!
Make the Web come alive with these high-quality media classes. Instead
of Web sites that are online brochures, you'll be able to create interactive
environments and true multimedia applets. Forget constraining authoring tools,
server pushes and animated GIFs; this is the real thing! Intel Media for Java
combines the flexibility of a true object oriented programming language with the
richness of multi-media. Optimized for Intel processor-based PCs running
Java on Windows* 95 or Windows NT.
These new media classes make it easy to:
- Add streaming and local audio and video
- Support video interaction and control in real time
- Enable 3D audio realism through direction and proximity cues
- Perform multiple animations smoothly in complex scenes
The Industry Standard:
Intel has been working with JavaSoft and a group of industry-leading companies
to establish the standards for Java Media: Adobe, Apple, Macromedia,
SGI and Sun Microsystems. Intel Media for Java is Intel's implementation
of the proposed Java Media API
for audio, video and animation for Intel processor-based PCs running
Windows 95 and Windows NT.
Intel media for Java at a glance:
Supports broad range of media types. These media classes are scalable
for low and high bit-rate on- and off-the-net applications and hybrid
combinations. The media types include:
- MPEG and Indeo® Video Interactive
- Standards-based H.263 video and G.723 audio
- WAV and MIDI audio
- Interactive 3D audio
- High performance animation
To ensure top performance and support for new media types as they are developed, the audio and video classes use
the Microsoft ActiveMovie* architecture. The H.263 video and G.723 audio standards are designed for streaming
playback over low bit-rate (e.g. 28.8 Kbps) connections. Video and audio start almost immediately. Forget the hassle
of downloading the entire file first--now users can start watching your creations immediately as the rest of the file
downloads.
Includes innovative Intel technologies for video, audio and animation. Get three ground-breaking Intel
technologies:
- Indeo Video Interactive breaks down the notion of video as an object of fixed, rectangular size and shape. With
features like local decode, and real-time video effects, it lets you easily incorporate video into
interactive multimedia applications and games.
- Realistic Sound eXperience renders audio for direction and proximity to create 3D realism and a sense of space
in an environment. For instance, you can create a scene where moving a mouse pointer towards an object
increases the audio level of the sound associated with that object.
- Realistic Display miXer simplifies fast display mixing of graphics and animation, plus supports special
effects like depth cueing, rotation, flip, scale and shear. Built on Microsoft's DirectX* architecture, this
high-performance animation engine lets you focus your development energy on content creation rather than
mechanics.
Develop unique hybrid media applications. Such a hybrid uses
locally-sourced media, such as Indeo Video Interactive from a CD, for its
quality and display speed. The Internet complements local media,
providing the conduit for person-to-person interaction and up-to-the-minute
information. With this, you can build multiplayer games for the net, extend
desktop apps to provide access to remote banking or shopping services, or
update the media content, such as new movie releases, in your multimedia
titles. Hybrid applications give your users the best of the PC plus the best
of the net.
