Accelerated Technology Allies With National Mediamatics

10-Apr-00

Accelerated Technology has revealed its important role as the foundation for National Semiconductor's DVD player reference design. The tested Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel serves as the ""behind-the-scenes"" RTOS for the complete hardware and software reference platform, which is based on the National Mediamatics DVD-on-a-chip solution, the first fully integrated chip for consumer DVD players. Accelerated Technology is introducing DVD technology worldwide by forming an alliance with National's Mediamatics group and supporting its commitment to penetrate DVD technology into the home market. The DVD market is characterized by shrinking product life cycles, accelerated growth and intense competition. Accelerated Technology counteracts these obstacles by providing developers a flexible, scalable kernel that allows them to build their DVD applications and get them to market faster than the competition. Accelerated Technology also offers a complete embedded product line to give engineers the software they need to add features and extra functionality to their applications. DVD-on-a-chip customers will benefit from Accelerated Technology's no royalty fees policy. Because the DVD market is very competitive, Accelerated Technology maintains its commitment to service by providing competitive pricing, source code accessibility and high performance technology with a small footprint to developers so they can build their applications easily and get them to market quickly. ""National's DVD reference platform is another example of how we are able to supply reference design developers with an RTOS solution that is high in performance, minimally intrusive, and contains a small memory footprint. Accelerated Technology and National are that developers can have a complete solution at a reasonable price with high performance technology and royalty free operating system software,"" said Neil Henderson, President of Accelerated Technology, Inc.
