The audio and video decoder functions, along with associated file parsers, are available as highly optimized DirectShowTM filters on the Windows CE® OS, allowing easy integration of multimedia capabilities into applications through the DirectShow framework.
Several adaptations have been made at the Ittiam ready-to-use Board Support Package (BSP) level to drive Golden-i’s peripheral hardware with a feature set supporting Kopin's Cyber Display, 6 Axis Solid State Head Tracker, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, WiFi b/g and active noise cancellation requirements. Ittiam’s expertise enabled rapid realization of the required drivers and system software to enable specific peripherals and interfaces. Thanks to the differentiating feature of the Ittiam BSP, a new Golden-i hardware unit can be brought up straight from assembly house, all necessary software uploaded and have the application run with just a MicroSD card, avoiding the need for separate JTAG or serial port based programmers.
“World leading codecs and multimedia system expertise from Ittiam, coupled with the performance of the TI OMAP3530, enables Kopin to achieve on-the-fly D-1 (720 x 480p 30 frames per second) streaming video when Golden-i user’s are highly mobile and actively engaged, delivering unparalleled convenience and increased individual performance,”
“Ittiam is proud to be part of such an innovative product development, integrating game changing technology from several world leading technology companies.” stated Rohit Bhuva, Vice President of Business Development at Ittiam Systems. “We firmly believe Kopin’ s Golden-i to be the essence of a new hands-free mobile computing and communications paradigm – spontaneous access to information, a familiar PC experience and the ability to remotely control the devices, machines and networks all around us.”
