A tree (Spondias cytherea) native to the Pacific islands and grown in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible fruits. 2. , Inc., the leader in high definition (HD) video compression Encoding digital video to take up less storage space and transmission bandwidth. See video codec and data compression. video compression - Compression of sequences of images. semiconductors, today announced that Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :HLIT), a leading provider of digital video and broadband access See broadband and wireless broadband. solutions to cable, satellite, telecom and terrestrial operators worldwide, selected the Ambarella A2 Encoder platform for its DiviCom[R] Electra[TM] MPEG-4 AVC See H.264. (H.264) HD and SD encoders. The Ambarella A2 processor can encode full 1080ix1920 resolution HD in a single chip and enables the design of broadcast encoders with increased picture quality while the low power and high integration allows a reduced form In social science and statistics, particularlly econometrics, a reduced form equation is a method of dealing with endogeneity. A reduced form equation is defined by James Stock & Mark Watson (2007) in the following way: factor and power consumption. "Ambarella and Harmonic have a close working relationship with a proven track record of excellence. Harmonic has leveraged this unique joint expertise to offer a H.264 video compression architecture that dramatically reduces bit-rates while delivering superior picture quality. The Ambarella A2 processor replaces previous core silicon allowing greater programming flexibility, higher power Higher power is a term used in a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, to describe "a power greater than yourself." Although many participants equate their higher power with God, a belief in God or in formal religion is not mandatory; the higher power is intended as a efficiency and unmatched channel density. As a result, Harmonic's new DiviCom Electra H.264 encoders enable our customers to deliver best-in-class services and enhanced viewing experiences," said David Price, Vice President of Product Marketing and Communications for Harmonic Inc. "We have known and worked with Harmonic, a market leader in video compression, for more than ten years and are pleased to again supply enabling technology for their superior encoding solutions," said Dr. Fermi Wang, 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 Ambarella. "Harmonic's selection of the A2 platform confirms that Ambarella's single chip H.264 HD processor is the highest quality real time platform available, and that its flexibility enables differentiation by partners who need to deliver the best video quality." Ambarella's A-2 platform provides a family of solutions covering the full range of H.264 AVC (1) (Advanced Video Coding) The video compression techniques used in the H.264 standard, jointly developed by ISO and the ITU-T. See H.264. (2) (Audio Visual C encoding requirements for Satellite Cable and IP Network broadcasting both at standard and high definition. Ambarella's solution delivers the promise of H.264 AVC as the broadcast format that will replace MPEG-2 with greater than twofold increase in compression efficiency.
