Modulus Video Introduces Real-Time MPEG-4 AVC Encoding and Decoding Systems at IBC 2004.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Fully Standards-Compliant Products Enable Broadcasters and Other Contribution Applications to Reliably Transport Broadcast-Quality Video at Lower Bit Rates Modulus Video, Inc., the 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 Company, has introduced its new ME1000 AVC encoder and MD1000 AVC decoder at the IBC IBC International Building Code IBC Iraq Body Count IBC Institutional Biosafety Committee IBC Inflammatory Breast Cancer IBC International Business Company IBC Independence Blue Cross IBC Insurance Bureau of Canada IBC International Broadcasting Convention 2004 convention, in Amsterdam. Built on an open Intel Linux platform, Modulus Video products leverage the entire MPEG-4 AVC See H.264. standard to offer an easily deployable, highly scalable and cost-effective solution for reliably delivering broadcast-quality video using significantly less bandwidth than legacy MPEG-2 systems. The ME1000 and MD1000 enable today's broadcast, cable, satellite and telco providers to deliver the advanced Digital TV and bandwidth-intensive HD services their subscribers demand. This same efficiency applies equally well to a broad range of corporate services Activities that combine or consolidate certain enterprise-wide needed support services, provided based on specialized knowledge, best practices, and technology to serve internal (and sometimes external) customers and business partners. , military, government and educational applications -- basically, anywhere broadcast quality video needs to be moved and efficient bandwidth usage is desired. The Modulus ME1000 is a full-resolution, standard-definition (SD) encoder for AVC. The ME1000 compresses in real-time up to full D1 resolution for 525/60 and 625/50 applications. The compressed video stream is encapsulated in an MPEG-2 Transport Stream delivering video-over-IP multicast or ASI ASI, n See Anxiety Sensitivity Index. . The Modulus Video MD1000 also provides real-time processing in a full-resolution professional decoder for AVC; complete with SDI (1) (Serial Digital Interface) A physical interface widely used for transmitting digital video in various formats. For electrical transmission, it uses a high grade of coaxial cable and a single BNC connector with Teflon insulation. output. "Anyone accustomed to the slow rate of progress offered by MPEG-2 during the past few years cannot help but be impressed by what AVC from Modulus Video delivers," said Bob Wilson, Modulus Video 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. . "Modulus Video has leveraged proven IT technologies to deliver extremely reliable broadcast-quality encoding and decoding solutions that fundamentally change the economics of video transport. The open standards-based design used for the new Modulus Video standard-definition products ensures easy scalability as we extend the product family to support HD." The underlying architecture of the ME1000 and MD1000 takes advantage of open standards with powerful and flexible components designed for mission-critical IT environments. Unlike proprietary systems, Modulus Video is leveraging billions of dollars of research and development investment made in IT components, software and networks to deliver reliable broadcast-quality solutions. Moore's law "The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 18 months." By Intel co-founder Gordon Moore regarding the pace of semiconductor technology. He made this famous comment in 1965 when there were approximately 60 devices on a chip. has ensured that as memory and processing technology continue to get faster and less expensive, Modulus Video products will grow ever more powerful and drive required bit rates even lower. ME1000 and MD1000 are also the only products on the market to incorporate the full MPEG-4 AVC standard. This results in Modulus Video products delivering several exclusive advantages that offer a net bandwidth saving of at least 50% when compared to the MPEG-2 standard at the same video quality. These features include: --Multiple ME block sizing options -- to track objects more accurately --Quarter pixel motion prediction -- better accuracy --Multiple reference frames -- to help find better matches --4x4 transform block -- less errors --New intra prediction modes -- smaller I frames --In loop de-blocking filter -- to conceal heavy compression artifacts --Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC CABAC Context Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (video coding algorithm) ) -- provides better entropy coding Modulus Video will be demonstrating its award-winning SD and HD encoding/decoding systems at the IBC convention, September 10 - 14, RAI rai n.

About Modulus Video, Inc. Modulus Video, Inc. is a provider of next generation HD and SD video compression solutions for digital television based on the AVC (H.264 / MPEG-4.10) standard. Its products include encoders and professional decoders, for broadcast, narrowcast To transmit to selected individuals. Cable TV and satellite radio are examples of narrowcast services because they reach only their subscriber base. Mailing lists are another example. Contrast with broadcast. See multicast. and video-on-demand that provide significantly greater efficiency over legacy MPEG-2 systems, while working seamlessly within that existing transport infrastructure. Modulus Video provides long-term, cost-effective solutions for meeting the increased demand for bandwidth confronting market segments including : contribution / distribution; digital television delivered via satellite, cable, terrestrial, or 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 ; and enterprise networks. Modulus Video is based in Sunnyvale, California and was founded in 2002. For more information, please visit www.ModulusVideo.com. |
