Embedded Linux eases video streaming

Developers are able to focus on building the core value of each product, instead of platform-specific maintenance.

Roku is integrating Trolltech's Qt for Embedded Linux into a multimedia streaming product.

Qt for Embedded Linux, formerly known as Qtopia Core, is Trolltech's application framework for single-purpose devices powered by embedded Linux.

Tim Twerdahl, Vice President of Consumer Products, Roku said "Trolltech's Qt for Embedded Linux allows us to create a rich interface for tomorrow's streaming media devices and get them to market quickly".

Roku chose Qt because of its ability to quickly create a rich user interface, providing an important time to market advantage.

Qt also provides ability to support multiple operating systems and devices from a single codebase.

As with all versions of Qt, developers are able to focus on building the core value of each product, instead of platform-specific maintenance.

Qt also eliminates the need to invest resources in multiple languages, toolkits and environments.
