On2 Technologies Releases Java Player Application New Product Built on Companies VPX Technology NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc., The Duck Corporation, released its Java player technology for license today. The player works with On2's highly regarded VPX video compression technology. The TrueMotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 is a TrueMotion video player written in pure Java. The Applet offers a truly cross-platform solution -- it plays on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and other environments. As on other platforms, the TrueMotion codec outperforms all other competing video compression technologies. Unlike most media players, the TrueMotion Applet requires no player installation. The Applet is compact and downloads quickly to the user's browser, making for a seamless user experience. Just as exciting, no special server software is required to serve media files to the Applet over networks. The Applet streams over HTTP, so it can be deployed on any Web server, thereby leveraging customers' existing infrastructure investments. "Many competing solutions claim to support HTTP streaming when in fact they use HTTP tunneling to a dedicated, proprietary media server," said Douglas A. McIntyre, On2 Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The TrueMotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 provides an ideal solution for online advertising and other Web-based video applications. The Truemotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 can be licensed from On2 by contacting .
