Tokyo, Japan. March 17, 2008 - eSOL, a leading developer of realtime embedded software solutions, announced
today that Casio has selected its PrKERNELv4 Real-time Operating System
(RTOS) Suites for their EXILIM® digital cameras.
To date, Casio has used PrKERNELv4 for their EXILIM product lines, such as EXILIM Zoom EX-Z1200, Hi-Zoom EX-V7, and Zoom EX-Z1050. Because of its functionality, performance, and ease of existing application migration, Casio has decided to extend the use of eSOL's software to these two brand-new EXILIM models.
PrKERNELv4, a multi-tasking kernel, offers task and memory management for
realtime applications, and serves as the primary foundation within EXILIM
Card EX-S10 and EXILIM Zoom EX-Z80. As the technology of the digital camera
becomes more complex and the development time progressively shorter, the
accuracy of the development is very critical. Casio has selected PrKERNELv4
because of its proven performance with their line of digital cameras.
Both EXILIM Card EX-S10, an ultra-thin, state-of-the-art 10.1 megapixel
digital camera, and EXILIM Zoom EX-Z80, an 8.1 megapixel digital camera
with high-quality movie capability, feature YouTube™ Capture Mode and iTunes
Compatible Video Format. In addition to the existing face-detection function
for automatic face focusing & brightness adjustment, the cameras also
contain an Auto Shutter function, which automatically records the moment
of a smile or the instant when a handshake ceases, using motion blur detection
technology. EXILIM Card EX-S10 and EXILIM Zoom EX-Z80 embody a return to
a stylish thin & compact form and a strong design presence. Moreover,
the H.264 codec provides outstanding compression, which makes it possible
to produce movies of high image quality with smaller data files.
