Consumer

Yesterday's intelligent consumer appliances were mired with performance problems, incompatibilities, inflexible applications and minimal, if any, support for interacting with other intelligent appliances. Using Implicit's RADkit, OEMs can finally break through the inadequacies of the past and deliver on the promise of the home future…today.

Features

Dynamic

  • User interface components can be adaptively selected based on content type
  • Allows seamless transition from one wired to wireless network without interrupting user applications
  • Multimedia stack is configured on the fly to enable maximum support for disparate content types
  • Interchangeable codecs provide flexibility in supporting multiple content streams
  • New beads can be downloaded on the fly to support new formats
  • Complete separation of application logic and control allows new rules to be added at runtime to change application behavior
  • New packages can be added at runtime to upgrade application functionality and to take advantage of emerging standards as they evolve

Efficient

  • Super efficient processing of time sensitive or processor intensive media such as video or audio streaming
  • Early classification of data streams allows QoS policies to be applied consistently for predictable media delivery
  • Communication-centric architecture allows for graceful end-to-end flow control
  • No queuing of data between network protocols minimizes latency and maximizes throughput
  • Separation of logic and control allows maximum degree of reuse

Distributed

  • Seamless support for levering resources on other appliances so every appliance is as powerful as the network of appliances
  • Only platform to support transparent leveraging of PC resources such as peripherals, applications and processing power extending the PC into every appliance.
  • Distributed control allows any appliance to serve as a control point for other appliances
  • Interact with standards based discovery solutions such as UPnP, UDDI, HAVi, and Jini
