Multimedia Project Overview#

The QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite is a fully customizable platform for building scalable, consumer-grade solutions that range from simple multimedia players to multi-console media networks with shareable media. It combines a full-featured media player with supporting multimedia software for building next-generation digital infotainment platforms and includes:

• a sophisticated multimedia engine with configurable behavior
• high-level HMI development supporting multiple and simultaneous use of media inputs and audio/video outputs
• media synchronizers and fault-tolerant databases to ensure data availability
• session management and persistence
• software and hardware-assisted decode and encode

Technology overview#

To properly manage the wide range of media storage devices and streams available today as well as their data content requires a highly integrated and uniform software model. The QNX Aviage Multimedia Suite provides high-level control of an intelligent multimedia engine, which includes:

• setup of device storage configuration (CDROM, USB, CDDA etc)
• managing device insertion and removal
• finding and itemizing media content on devices and streams
• extracting and managing media meta-data
• managing data persistence and media libraries
• connecting media filters, readers, writers, decoders, encoders to inputs and outputs
• supporting hardware-assist (eg DSPs)
• supporting intelligent media players such as iPods, Zunes, and Certified for Windows Vista media players, including DRM content
• supporting APIs for controlling playback of media
