Hit Player
HITMEDIA's Player product line for mobile usersA Player or Media Player is the software on the client computer that decompresses a video or audio content using a codec. The player helps to get the content, to manage it, select for playing and makes it visible or audible.. The media player can be used as a stand alone application or embedded in a Web page to create a video application interacting with HTML content. "Codec" is short for compression/decompression, and codecs are used to compress digital audio or video into files of a manageable size. Two factors determine the quality of a codec. First, the quality of the playback; second, the size of the files. Typically, those two trade off against each other- the more you compress a file, the more details or accuracy of the signal is removed. Removing details and deteriorating the accuracy makes the quality lower, or modifies the signal from original. HITMEDIA INT. has developed a family of Player products for mobile phones. The family today consists of four different members, having in common the high quality of playback and the revolutionary user interface making them easy to use for all.
