Cintel's Renowned Post-production Film-scanning Technology Cintel manufactures film-scanning technology, which brings some of the world's best-known films to movie theatres and video shops. In a high-pressure business with no margin for error, Cintel needed a trusted OS solution to ensure the smooth running of its cutting-edge technology, so they immediately turned to QNX Software Systems. In the film industry, most pictures are produced on 35mm film, which is fine for the cinema but requires conversion to video format for home rentals and television distribution. Cintel technology is central to this process, ensuring that home audiences can enjoy major blockbusters and art-house films alike with cinema- quality images. Post-production houses process films on a frame-by-frame basis, working at a rate of 24 frames per second. Production editors can make thousands of minor adjustments to a film, such as ensuring that the color of a particular object remains consistent from one frame to the next. Consequently, the technology they use must be extremely responsive, intuitive, and above all reliable, as short timescales don't allow for any downtime. To ensure that its equipment is always up to the job, Cintel relies on the QNX Neutrino RTOS. QNX Neutrino brings exceptional reliability and scalability to the system design, allowing Cintel to achieve a high degree of fault tolerance and flexibility.

White Paper Download: Implementing Web Services in Embedded Systems Unlike conventional Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), Web services have been designed from the ground up to be Internet-friendly, offering a platform neutral approach for integrating applications and leveraging a web-enabled form of computer-to-computer communications that addresses key requirements of embedded systems, including remote diagnostics and provisioning. In this paper, we explore the benefits of Web services for embedded systems and discuss how Web services can be adapted to address the specific challenges posed by embedded systems.

Speaking Engagements at Embedded Software Development Conference, August 17-19 in San Jose
Topic: Using Eclipse CDT for C/C++ Development The open-source CDT project provides a cross-platform C/C++ tooling environment for multiple development hosts and target systems, allowing even large development teams to standardize on one IDE. Moreover, its widely supported plug-in architecture makes it possible to integrate tools from multiple vendors; developers can, in effect, take a "best of breed" approach to their tool selection. This class provides a hands-on introduction to the CDT architecture and components, and uses many live examples to show how to best take advantage of its features.
Topic: Web Services in Embedded Systems:Moving Beyond TCP/IP Sockets Networked embedded devices have become the rule, rather than the exception. Whether it's over Ethernet, WiFi, or GPRS, most devices now run TCP/IP and provide (or consume) content over a network. Traditionally, developers implementing this functionality have had to write low-level socket code, attempt to generate or parse HTML, and come up with a custom protocol - or try to figure out someone else's protocol. Web services provide a standard model of building distributed applications that can eliminate the need for such effort. In this session, we'll explore what constitutes a "Web service," how developers can leverage this technology to move away from low-level network code bases, and why it will move from a nicety to a necessity in the coming years.

Speaking Engagements at Embedded Systems Conference, September 13-16 in Boston
Topic: Implementing Web Services in Embedded Systems Using Web services, an embedded device can access remote data in a manner that is both friendlier and more firewall-compatible than conventional forms of RPC. The device can also transmit data upstream, allowing it to be monitored and configured over private and public networks. To provide this data, however, the device must run an application server -- software traditionally developed for resource-rich environments. This class examines how to embed such functionality into resource-constrained devices, using frameworks independent of any particular programming language.
Topic: Principles of Power Management Compared to general-purpose PDAs and notebooks, purpose-specific mobile devices present a host of unique power management (PM) requirements, such as dealing with custom hardware, delivering predictable response times, maintaining long-term operational readiness, and fine-tuning power consumption in response to application- specific events. This class explores how to identify system characteristics that must be addressed by PM, select an appropriate PM architecture and design a power policy that achieves the lowest possible power consumption while satisfying your system's performance constraints.
Topic: Using POSIX for Embedded Development More than ever, commercial, government, and military organizations are demanding that developers use POSIX interfaces. The question is, how much of the POSIX.1 standard must your project support? POSIX.1 is so large, and has so many optional components, that few applications need everything it offers. This session explores how to: identify which POSIX APIs your system requires; determine whether your OS can support those APIs; achieve portability without sacrificing performance; and weigh the relative merits of POSIX conformance, POSIX compliance, and POSIX certification.
