Finline Presents Image Compression Breakthrough and Wireless Technologies at CeBIT Technology Tradeshow in Hanover, Germany.Business Editors WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2001 Finline Technologies Ltd. (CDNX CDNX See Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX). :FIN) presents live demonstration of its Image Compression Noun 1. image compression - the compression of graphics for storage or transmission compression - encoding information while reducing the bandwidth or bits required technology and Trilogy(TM) MMDS (Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service or Microwave Multipoint Distribution Service) A digital wireless transmission system that works in the 2.2-2.4 GHz range. Wireless System (High Speed Internet-Telephone-Interactive Digital Television), at the world's largest technology tradeshow, CeBIT 2001 in Hanover, Germany. Finline Technologies Ltd. will be there from March 22 - 28, 2001. Presently Finline Image Compression technology using Wavelet Compression A lossy compression method used for color images and video. Instead of compressing small blocks of 8x8 pixels (64 bits) as in JPEG and MPEG, the wavelet algorithms compress the entire image with ratios of up to 300:1 for color and 50:1 for gray scale. has achieved 4-5 times improvement over existing 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). solutions. This break through in Video and Image compression ushers Finline into a new era for delivering of video and image compression over "last mile access" using DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary (Digital Subscriber Line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and ) and Wireless access systems. The potential benefits of faster transmission and decreased storage space requirements will find wider applications in diverse areas especially Medicine (Radiology), Cameras, Photocopiers, Military, Space applications...the list is endless. Mr. Andrew Zador, Vice President of Technology, and inventor of the Image Compression Technology has developed a unique approach to image compression by applying an understanding of the human visual system and its sensitivity to contrast, noise, luminance The amount of brightness, measured in lumens, that is given off by a pixel or area on a screen. For example, dark red and bright red would have the same chrominance, but a different luminance. etc., and combined this with an understanding of spatial/amplitude entropy relationships within images. With Finline's modified amplitude-zerotrees, zerotree-linked texture maps, adaptive model arithmetic coding, and visual-rules bit allocation, Finline's algorithms have been designed to obtain optimal compression with acceptable program complexity. Finline has patents and patents pending for its application on its technology in USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan. The estimated 780,000 trade visitors attending the CeBIT exhibit will get hands-on impression of what these technologies can do for them and it is an ideal way to convey the capabilities of our expertise. Finline's Booth is conveniently located in Hall 17, Stand F06/2 at the CeBIT exhibition grounds. Mr. Andrew Zador, Vice President of Technology, and inventor of the Image Compression Technology will be pleased to discuss the applications at the CeBIT trade show. Finline Technologies Ltd. is in the business of Designing, Manufacturing, Marketing, and Selling broadband wireless systems, focusing on MMDS "Wireless Cable" solutions for the provision of Telephone, High Speed Internet, and Digital Television via its Trilogy(TM) System. Moreover Finline is involved in the Compression of Images using Patented Wavelet compression technology. Finline operates through joint ventures and/or other business combinations to enhance its market share. Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Finline Technologies Ltd. has successfully deployed its systems and components worldwide to operators in fourteen countries on five continents.
