SciTech SNAP Graphics Ignites Qt/Embedded With Full 2D Graphics Acceleration

• SciTech SNAP Graphics for Qt/Embedded provides developers with performance they can really see.

Chico, California -- (January 22, 2003) -- SciTech Software, Inc. today announced that it has completed the initial release of SciTech SNAP Graphics for Qt/Embedded - SciTech's next generation embedded display driver solution. This release is based on SciTech latest System Neutral Access Protocol (SNAP) architecture and shows SciTech's resolve to further enable the emerging embedded market with a level of graphics performance usually reserved for mainstream desktop machines. SciTech SNAP Graphics for Qt/Embedded offers accelerated 2D graphics support, for fillRect(), blt(), scroll(), drawLine(), full off-screen video memory buffers and much more.

"The device driver architecture that Mr. Bennett envisioned nearly a decade ago when he founded SciTech, and which also served as the rallying point for our restructuring has now come to fruition," said Andrew Bloo, Director of Sales and Marketing for SciTech Software Inc. "We are looking forward to working with developers as they begin to dream up the next generation of embedded applications free of dumb-frame buffer limitations."
