Ellisys first to launch powerful
Media Transfer Protocol Class decoder for developers of portable media
devices
The Media Transfer Protocol class decoder
enables manufacturers of portable media devices to accelerate development
of devices compatible with Microsoft's PlaysForSure™ initiative.
Geneva, Switzerland — May 22, 2006 — Ellisys, a leading supplier
of USB and Wireless USB test solutions, today announced the launch of its Media
Transfer Protocol class decoder. With this timely introduction of a unique
decoder to the test and measurement market, Ellisys proves once again its devotion
to the USB community.
Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is an extension of the Picture
Transfer Protocol (PTP), currently widely used by Digital Still Cameras. MTP
meets the broader requirements for transferring a variety of file types to
portable objects with storage, especially media types used in portable media
devices. The new protocol is part of the Microsoft's PlaysForSure™ initiative,
a promise made to digital media customers that their media will play with all
compatible devices. This represents a challenge for developers who need powerful
tools to ensure their customers' expectations are met.
The MTP class decoder understands requests sent to a device and the answers
received. It displays them in Visual USB, Ellisys' powerful protocol
analyzer software. Developers have an immediate overview of all requests exchanged
and quickly understand the MTP protocol to ensure seamless interoperability
between devices. The MTP class decoder also decodes numerical values into their
text, human-readable description and check fields against the specification
to ensure compliance.
The MTP class decoder eases the development of portable media devices and
integrates in the USB Explorer 200 Professional Edition, the
leading USB protocol analyzer from Ellisys. The decoder is also available as
an option for the USB Explorer 200 Standard Edition. The latest
revision of Visual USB includes the MTP class decoder and can be downloaded
from the Ellisys' website, www.ellisys.com.
