Wind River is to work with BeComm Corp to help accelerate the development of consumer electronic devices and information appliances delivering multimedia content for the home and office.

This week's National Association Broadcasters Convention saw the two collaborate to illustrate how an integrated platform, software and services solution can give users the ability to experience the content of their choice, on the device of their choice, in the format of their choice.

A demonstration of Wind River's information appliance platform running BeComm's String technology showed how thin clients, such as wireless tablets, can seamlessly access multimedia content throughout a network by harnessing the processing power and capabilities of other connected devices.

The resulting media clients can be used to show audio and video programs without requiring the costly functional overhead.

BeComm's Strings technology uses the concept of a distributed media engine to enable users to connect to digital media of any form, in any environment, with the device or appliance of their choice.

Strings also manages the dataflow within your application, so your application will be scalable, efficient and lightweight.

"We are very pleased to be working with Wind River.

Their foundation of information appliance software and hardware, in combination with our Strings technology make a great platform for developing applications for network-enabled media appliances", said Edward Balassanian, president and CEO of BeComm.

"Our relationship allows developers to focus on product differentiation and not reinvent the wheel, saving them time and money".
