Introduction
This page summarises the state of implementation of SVG Tiny 1.2. It is a snapshot in time, both of the implementations tested and of the test suite. For the latest implementation details, please see the SVG Test page
Tested implementations
The following implementations were tested:
- Ikivo 2.1
- The Ikivo Multimedia SVG Player is an SVG Tiny 1.2 player for mobile phones and embedded systems. It is typically supplied with a handset as an OEM bundled player, rather than being made available to end users.
- Opera 9.52 +video
- The Opera 9.6 browser implements SVG 1.1, SVG Tiny 1.2 and HTML/CSS; it runs on Windows, MacOS X, and Linux while Opera 9.5 mobile runs on mobile phones. For this test, a build of 9.52 which included SVG video support was tested. For some specific tests (as noted in the table below) the latest internal build of the Gogi rendering engine used in Opera was tested.
- BitFlash 6.5
- The Bitflash SVG Tiny Player runs on mobile phones running BREW, Symbian and real-time operating systems. It is typically supplied with a handset as an OEM bundled player, rather than being made available to end users

- eSVG 2.6
- The eSVG Viewer is a commercial SVG Tiny 1.2 implementation for Symbian, Windows Mobile 5, Windows CE, Pocket PC, .NET, JAVA and eCos platforms. Version 2.6 of the player was tested.

- GPAC Osmo4 0.4.5
- The GPAC Project on Advanced Content is a multimedia engine for SVG and other formats (MPEG-4 BIFS and LASeR, VRML, X3D). Osmo4 is the player for this engine. Version 0.4.5-dev build 26 was used for testing
Other implementations
The following implementations are known to the SVG Working Group, but it was not possible to test them for this report.
- Streamezzo
- The Streamezzo Rich Media Client runs on mobile platforms using Java, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Linux, and BREW. It is believed to be able to read SVG Tiny 1.2 content as well as LASeR content, but the SVG WG was unable to confirm this.
- Spinetix HMP 100
- The Spinetix Hypermedia Player is a networked hardware device aimed at digital signage. Their SVG Tiny 1.2 implementation drives the device.
The SVG WG is aware of other implementations which have not yet been announced, so could not be listed here. We are always pleased to hear of, see demonstrations of, and test additional implementations.
