Syabas Chooses Tuxera NTFS for media players, as its blazingly fast performance enables the playback of high bitrate, high definition content.

Sunnyvale, CA and Helsinki, Finland – June 15, 2010 – Tuxera, the leading provider of Windows-compatible file systems for Linux, Mac and other platforms, today announced that Syabas Technology has licensed Microsoft NTFS by Tuxera to bring seamless interoperability to its cutting-edge media players. Tuxera’s embedded file system solution will stream or playback digital media content in Syabas’ flagship Popcorn Hour Networked Media Jukeboxes, the C-200 and A-200.

“Tuxera’s interoperable file systems are instrumental in the ongoing media and device convergence. They provide Popcorn Hour Media Jukeboxes with unmatched NTFS file system read/write performance,” said Syabas CEO TL Lim. “Tuxera’s blazingly fast performance enables the playback of high bitrate, high definition content along with rock-solid reliability and unsurpassed Windows interoperability. Tuxera NTFS also proved to be a quick migration for our new embedded Linux platform, which is critical in the fast-paced world of consumer electronics.”

“Syabas is leading us to a new way of freely sharing music, pictures, and video among multiple devices, instead of considering them as device-specific content,” said Tuxera CEO Mikko Välimäki. “We are pleased that our file system interoperability is helping the Popcorn Hour Networked Media Jukeboxes meet consumers’ newfound desire to mix and match media across their home entertainment systems, portable storage devices, and PCs.”
