 software has been performing successfully since early December 2008 at customer locations in Europe, as well as partner labs in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , Asia and Europe.

"With these field sites operating so well, we will soon be ready to install the CE1000 IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries)  platform systems for customers seeking a competitively priced, software-based encoding system that is currently delivering a real time HD video stream at 6mgs," said Rod Tiede, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Broadcast International. "In addition to its ability to greatly reduce bandwidth requirements, the CE1000 is 'future-proof' because the encoding system is software-based as opposed to being a hardware appliance. With our encoding software, upgrades and improvements can be loaded onto the hardware platform without the need to purchase new equipment, thus providing a dramatic cost savings to customers."

Encoding at the Lowest Bandwidth

Broadcast International has patented the unique CodecSys approach of using multiple expert codecs The following is a list of codecs. Audio codecs
Non-compression formats
  • Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF, container format)
  • Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF, container format)
 rather than single, general-purpose compression codecs. By automatically switching "on the fly" between specialized codecs, choosing the best one for a particular frame or video sequence, CodecSys is able to optimize the capabilities of each codec (1) (enCOder/DECoder) A hardware circuit that performs analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) conversion. When analog signals are entered into a computer, cellphone or other device via a microphone or video source such as VHS tape or analog TV,  to reduce video bandwidth requirements more than 80% for HD video over all types of delivery platforms including broadcast, cable, IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. , wireless and the Internet. The increased power of current processors accelerates the CodecSys codec-switching process, providing a platform for nearly unlimited processing power and video compression capabilities.

Upgradeable, Scaleable, "Future-Proof"

The newly introduced CE1000 offers the industry's highest level of compression and also provides a "future-proof" solution for customers in the dynamic video market. Broadcast International's CodecSys video compression software is based on an open software architecture that can accommodate new standards, such as H.264, as well as new specialized codecs as they come onto the market.

With CodecSys, codecs can be upgraded and added through simple, cost-effective software downloads, while other commercial solutions require costly, full hardware replacement.
