Khronos expands membership

The Khronos Group has announced that Aplix Corporation, Barco, Beatnik, BitFlash, Broadcom, Emuzed, Fraunhofer IIS, MTIS, Packetvideo, Philips Software, Siemens Communications and Skyworks Inc. have become Khronos Contributing Members.
They will participate in the ongoing development and promotion of open, royalty- free embedded media API standards to grow the markets for hardware and software products that enable authoring and acceleration of dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices.
"Khronos warmly welcomes all our new members, as the broadening participation in our standardization process enables us to be an ever-more effective forum for building market opportunities for the industry," said Neil Trevett, President of the Khronos Group and Senior Vice President of Market Development at 3Dlabs. "It is quite striking how the new membership has a diverse interest in all of the Khronos APIs currently in development; from 2D and 3D graphics and video to safety critical displays. This diversity helps Khronos accurately build a coherent 'big picture' strategy for processing numerous types of media across many embedded markets."
