Oregan Mobilizes Flash Renderer

Staying afloat in the movement to make web content available more smoothly on non-PC entertainment devices, Oregan Networks unveiled a new web media rendering engine for content authored with Macromedia Flash tools. Specifically, says the company, the clean-room Flash renderer will help advance interactivity outside "the PC-centric ecosystem" as demand for the feature increases for gaming consoles, 3G and WiFi-enabled mobile handsets, set top boxes, and consumer electronics. Sony, Oregan Network's most high profile client, uses the company's Flash rendering engine to power PlayStation2's walled garden portal in EMEA, and the Sony PSP. It is also a part of the Oregan TV Browser, a UI engine licensed to device manufacturers and service operators as an IPTV or web video service building block.
