LONDON, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the European automotive in-vehicle media software market, Frost & Sullivan recognises Cinemo GmbH with the 2019 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award for its modular media playback and streaming middleware software architecture. This software is compatible with all major operating systems (OSs) and hardware solutions, and supports numerous files, discs, and stream types.
