Adobe Flash technology for mobile phones, consumer electronics, and Internet-connected digital home devices already runs on a number of leading SoC platforms based on the MIPS architecture. Adobe Flash technology enables delivery of high-definition content and rich applications to Internet-connected TVs and TV-connected consumer electronic devices in the digital living room. The Adobe Flash Platform for the Digital Home will build on these capabilities with support for custom filters and effects, native 3D transformation and animation, advanced audio processing, and graphics hardware acceleration.
"Adobe Flash technology is key for the Internet-connected multimedia experience in the digital home," said Art Swift, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies. "MIPS is committed to optimizing key elements of Adobe Flash Player, starting with the Tamarin project, an open source version of the ActionScript virtual machine used in Flash Player."
"Adobe Flash technology is ubiquitous across PCs and mobile devices, and we are seeing increasing OEM demand for the Flash Platform for the Digital Home," said Mahesh Balakrishnan, director, product management and strategy, Platform Business at Adobe. "We are pleased that MIPS Technologies is optimizing key elements used in our Flash Player technology for its architecture. We look forward to incorporating these optimizations in future Flash Player releases in support of the many SoC vendors using the MIPS architecture."
