Genesis Microchip to Integrate McObject’s Database in Embedded Software Applications
September 17, 2003 — McObject LLC today announced that Genesis Microchip, a leading provider of display image processors, has chosen to license McObject’s eXtremeDB in-memory database system for use in its Flat-Panel Television applications.
Within an electronic programming guide, eXtremeDB facilitates optimal database designs, supports reliability and data integrity, and makes possible efficient data retrieval and storage. eXtremeDB’s tiny footprint – approximately 100K RAM – enables its use in resource-constrained embedded systems, and the database’s streamlined design and in-memory deployment deliver the zero-latency performance required for consumer electronics.
(eXtremeDB’s role in EPG designs was previously highlighted in an Electronic Engineering Times article and in a white paper available from McObject’s Web site).
“eXtremeDB gave us the performance and flexibility we required to manage the complex data in our applications,” said Anders Frisk, executive vice president and COO of Genesis Microchip.
“To offer richer end-user experiences, consumer devices typically must manage much larger volumes of more complex data. eXtremeDB helps companies like Genesis Microchip reduce development time while ensuring the responsiveness demanded by customers,” said Steve Graves, McObject CEO.
