Project Overview
For over ten years this engineering team have been leading Sun’s MPEG standards activities. Sun was recently recognized as holding one of the essential patents (MPEG-J) required to implement the critical systems elements of the MPEG-4 standard. We also hold leadership positions in the Internet Streaming Media Alliance (ISMA), which is forging an alliance with Sun’s traditional competitors to provide an end-to-end, standards-based alternative to proprietary solutions. Vishy Swaminathan leads all the technical activities; Tom Jacobs is the President for ISMA. Gerard Fernando leads the Conformance/Compliance working group, which focuses on making our specifications real and valued within the industry.
