PrintAdobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) and Intel today announced plans to collaborate on the development to optimize Adobe Flash technology for the Intel Media Processor CE 3100. This effort is expected to provide consumers with richer and more seamless web-based and video viewing experiences through advanced Intel-based cable set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc players and digital TVs.
The high-definition capabilities of Adobe Flash, together with the Intel Media Processor CE 3100, creates a powerful entertainment hub capable of delivering rich web content and Adobe Flash based applications to an array of internet-connected CE devices. Intel plans to ship the first CE3100 with support for an optimized implementation of Adobe Flash Lite before mid-2009.
Intel and Adobe have a long history of technical collaboration, including, most recently, being founding members of the Open Screen Project. Announced in May 2008, the Open Screen Project is designed to enable a consistent runtime environment across screens. The initiative has 20 major industry partners and is dedicated to enable web content, standalone applications and full web browsing across televisions, set-top boxes, mobile devices and other consumer electronics that take advantage of Adobe Flash capabilities.
