Helix DNA is a project to produce
computer software that can play audio and video media in various formats, aid in producing such media, and serve them over a network. It is intended as a largely
free and
open source digital media framework that runs on numerous
operating systems and processors (including mobile phones) and was started by
RealNetworks which contributed much of the code. The
Helix Community is an open collaborative effort to develop and extend the Helix DNA platform.
