With CelFeed, wireless carriers can transform networks into rich-content delivery networks for television broadcasters or any syndicated multi-media video service provider (VSP VSP - Very Simple Prolog+. ). Wireless device users can access multiple video channels easily without a PC or Internet connection. "Anyone can broadcast video clips A short video presentation. , but no one is streaming live TV or broadcast-quality video in real time over wireless networks," said Oded Peretz, 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. , Celvibe Ltd. "Currently, broadcast television technology, which uses MPEG-2, requires large amounts of bandwidth, making it virtually impossible for transmission over wireless networks. We developed an advanced technology that converts current MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). formats to fit mobile devices." How CelFeed Works Through a patent-pending MPEG-4 transcoder, CelFeed receives MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and other formats that are converted in real-time to MPEG-4, which can easily be processed by mobile devices. The streaming rich media content is compressed and delivered to mobile devices immediately. CelFeed allows wireless carriers to give concurrent subscribers multiple, live broadcast-quality video channels. In order to achieve broadcast-quality video on mobile devices, wireless carriers need to keep up a continuous flow of quality data to each mobile device. However, since mobile devices experience various bandwidths -- bit rates and bit error rates (BER (1) (Basic Encoding Rules) A set of encoding rules for ASN.1 notation, which is a method for defining data structures. See ASN.1. (2) (Bit Error Rate) The average number of bits transmitted in error. See BERT. 1. ) -- the streamed content must be adapted to the specific parameters of each device. CelFeed has the unique ability to gauge the mobile device's reception quality and determine compression parameters, providing carriers with an extremely convenient and cost-effective solution for all streaming needs. Each stream is customized based on the available bit rate and BER of each specific mobile device. The frames are adjusted to enhance the rich content quality of the object in the frame, producing broadcast-quality video on a wireless device. This provides carriers with an extremely convenient and cost-effective solution for streaming richer broadcast media.
