Advanced Multimedia Supplements

In computing, the Advanced Multimedia Supplements (also JSR-234 or AMMS) is an API specification for the Java ME platform. Practically speaking, it is an extension to JSR 135 Mobile Media API providing new features, such as positional 3D audio processing, audio and video effects processing, better controls for digital camera, and better support for analog radio tuner including Radio Data System. AMMS was developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 234.

Features and profiles
JSR-234 defines six feature sets, namely Media Capabilities, and each define minimum implementation requirements in order to try to avoid fragmentation and to define a common minimal base line for the implementations. Every JSR-234 implementation must support at least one Media Capability. The six Media Capabilities are described in the table below.

Optional features
In addition to the Media Capabilities, the device is free to support any of the optional features including:
 * controlling additional 3D audio features such as Doppler, size of the source (macroscopicity), directivity and obstruction
 * controlling additional audio effects such as chorus and channel virtualization (including stereo widening)
 * audio panning
 * detailed exposure settings for the camera
 * brightness, contrast and gamma settings
 * whitebalance
 * setting the processing order of the audio and video effects
 * setting priorities for the players
 * MIDI channel specific effects
 * RDS
