CRIWARE

CRIWARE Product Description

Software Middleware for Low-Load, High-Quality Audio, Video, and UI Implementation

CRIWARE is a series of software and middleware products provided by CRI Middleware Co., Ltd., designed to implement audio, video, and UI (key elements directly related to user experience) with low system load and high quality.
As middleware that abstracts differences in hardware and operating systems, CRIWARE optimizes common processing such as playback, rendering, and control. This allows developers to focus on application design and product value creation rather than platform-specific implementation details.
The audio and video processing technologies embedded in each CRIWARE product enable both data size reduction and lower processing load while maintaining stable playback quality and smooth visual expression. Even in environments with limited CPU, memory, and storage resources, rich expressions that combine sound, video, and UI can be implemented efficiently.
In addition, CRIWARE provides tools and workflows that promote effective collaboration between designers and engineers, helping reduce specification adjustments and implementation effort while shortening development cycles.

CRIWARE Product Lineup
CRI LiveAct
Enables lightweight video playback in web browsers, making it easy to integrate video-based expressions into web content. Also available in a SaaS deployment model.

OPTPiX SmartJPEG
An image optimization solution that reduces image data size while preserving visual quality, contributing to lower bandwidth usage for web display and content delivery.

CRI D-Amp Driver
An audio middleware that uses PWM output from microcontrollers to achieve high-quality sound playback (covering even Hi-Fi use cases) without the need for audio ICs.

CRI SOLIDAS
A full-digital audio solution that performs audio signal processing entirely in software and supports multi-channel output.

CRI DietCoder
A high-compression transcoding system that further reduces the size of already compressed video data while minimizing visual quality degradation.

CRI ADX Automotive
A sound middleware optimized for automotive and embedded systems, supporting everything from acoustic design to implementation of warning sounds and notification audio.

CRI Glassco
A solution that streamlines UI and graphic development for automotive applications, from proof-of-concept stages to deployment on actual hardware.

CRI Aeropoint GUI
A UI middleware that provides a one-stop workflow for GUI development on embedded devices, reducing implementation effort while improving UI quality.
