SciTech SNAP
Graphics IES Offers Accelerated Performance for On Time RTOS-32.
Chico, California
-- (January 29, 2004) -- SciTech
Software today announced that it has added support for
On Time RTOS-32, a popular Win32 based industrial embedded
operating system to SciTech SNAP Graphics IES. With the
latest release of SciTech SNAP Graphics IES, developers
who wish to utilize On Time RTOS-32 and require either
OpenGL support or fully accelerated 2D graphics, now have
the ability to build and deploy industrial embedded systems
based on the On Time RTOS, utilizing SciTech SNAP’s
OpenGL software rasterizer and powerful 2D accelerated
graphics engine. In addition to this advanced functionality
SciTech SNAP Graphics also exposes a wide range of refresh
rate and mode control not previously available to developers
on this platform.
“When we launched the IES product line the goal was simple: provide
Industrial embedded developers with a best in class graphics device driver
solution regardless of selected operating system; with the addition of
support for On Time RTOS-32 we continue to make progress towards that goal
and look forward to supporting additional operating systems over the coming
year” said Andrew Bloo, Director of Sales and Marketing for SciTech
Software Inc.
SciTech Software’s leading edge driver technology has been proven
on millions of systems worldwide and validated by leading companies
such as IBM, ATI, and HP. The IES product line (Industrial Embedded
Systems) launched last year, bringing robust graphics performance to
specialty operating systems. Since the release of SciTech SNAP IES,
SciTech has partnered with companies such as Trolltech, IBM, On Time,
and others in order to deliver solutions that work in today’s
demanding and cost sensitive environments.
