STRATEGIC ARCHITECTURES
The Ultimedia is a codec only based adapter that offers the advantage of quick, cost effective software upgrades to enhance function and performance versus hardware modifications or additional cards.  The Ultimedia design eliminates extraneous audio hardware support requirements beyond the codec chip.  The codec chip provides for data conversion between the analog audio signals and standard digital audio formats.
APPLICATION DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY
IBM Ultimedia Services for AIX (refer to Software Announcements
294-458 and 294-459) used with the Ultimedia enhances productivity through the use of a graphical user interface and the availability of
object-oriented programming support.  The Ultimedia and IBM Ultimedia Services for AIX support industry standard audio input/output formats and increase application programmer productivity in writing multimedia applications.
