Advantech Brings Windows CE Multimedia Solution to Embedded Applications

Advantech can now provide customers with a Windows® CE multimedia total solution that provides streaming video/audio capability. Previously introduced and demonstrated using an Advantech PCM-5820 and PCM-5822 SBC at WinHEC 2000 in New Orleans (April 25 - 27, 2000), Advantech is formally announcing to our customers and distributors the capability to combine an Advantech SBC and Windows® CE in a match that is perfect for Internet and multimedia applications.

Solution Brings High Performance PC Multimedia to Windows CE Devices

This solution brings high performance multimedia technologies (Windows Media Technology) found on desktop PCs to Windows CE based devices. Advantech has been working closely with the Microsoft Windows CE team. The communication channels have resulted in a successful product that offers the extremely small footprint of a Windows CE operating system that can play audio files (MP3 and .WAV) and video files (like MPEG-1) from local storage, LAN or the internet. The system can also play Streaming video and audio files from the Internet.

The Right Combination of Hardware, Software and Knowhow

The application configuration is a combination of Advantech hardware, Microsoft products and the contribution of the Advantech Windows CE professionals to make this possible on an extremely compact and efficient embedded system. The application hardware and software used is listed below.

Hardware:

Software:

  • Windows CE 2.12
  • Internet Explorer
  • Windows Media Technologies 4.1
  • Windows Media Player 6.4 ActiveX control

Working Together with Customers

These new capabilities open even more application possibilities that cater to Advantech ODM customers extremely well. The ability to offer multimedia files from a local device, LAN or the Internet, on an embedded platform, has enormous market potential. The ability to provide these solutions in record time is also important. Advantech has always been Microsoft's important partner for the embedded market. Bringing this multimedia Windows CE solution to ODM customers creates even more value-added support from Advantech.
