Osmosys EGG™ is a transformational graphics library that allows video content creators and designers alike the freedom to provide interactive TV graphics, with fluid motion, 3D effects and a full suite of animation options on platforms that were previously limited to a 2D world only
With the emergence of sophisticated devices that can access television and video services, mainstream digital TV user interfaces used today are appearing very dated. Osmosys has developed a new graphics technology that delivers new ways to radically enhance both the performance and graphical capabilities currently unavailable through today’s STBs.
EGG is a middleware independent technology, and can be used with any middleware, or even just embedded applications. Needless to say, it also works flawlessly with any Osmosys middleware.
EGG is currently running on ST and Broadcom platforms, with more coming.
